I am Thankful and Grateful : Day 22

I am thankful for GOOD FOOD....

I am a easy girl to please as far as food goes.  I am good with a burger and fries for a date(I am a sucker for a good burger and onion rings).  I told Jason when we first started to date that I was cheap.  Take me to McD's and get me a happy meal and I am good to go.  

I also love the time spent with good friends as well as good food.  Most of the gatherings at our house have food involved.  Jason and I love to feed people.  We don't have much but what we do have we will give away.  We love to host different things.  As much as he moans while doing it Jason does love to go all out and make good food.  Food is what brought my dad and him together.  The first time he met my parents was at a Super Bowl Party.  My dad made his chili.  Jason ate 5 bowls of it.  My dad see's that its damn near gone and he is like wow who has been eating all the chili.  Jason was like sorry that was me, it was good.  From then on they loved him.  

We don't always cook "together" because our kitchen is mega small.  Its hard for 1 person in there let alone two.  But I am sure that we would if we had a bigger kitchen.  To me the heart of the home is the kitchen.  Because that is where the love happens.  Food brings us together at least once a night.  Food brings family's together on the holidays.  Food is a powerful thing.  

And since its the season for giving and being thankful.  Make sure that you donate some food to a local food bank.  Or to make it easy, do the donation at Publix, they have 3 things you can pick from costing as much as $15.  Since Brendon was very little we have always donated food for those in need, even if we are the ones in need.  Even if you don't have much there are others that have less.
