5 Things to Eat Before You Die
I stole this meme from somebody else - I didn't get tagged or anything, I just wanted to write it all down so I wouldn't forget.
1. Caprese salad made with a tomato fresh off the vine and still warm from the sun, fresh-picked basil, and extremely fresh Buffalo mozzarella with a sprinkling of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
2. A warm cappuccino with the perfect amount of crema on top, and a biscotti to match
3. Strawberries picked fresh - I remember the tiny ones we harvested in March that grew along our driveway when I was little
4. Sun-warmed blackberries - again, in our backyard when I was a child (and jelly made from said blackberries)
5. Avocado roll - with a piece of pickled ginger on top (I know, it is SO not done in the correct sushi eating technique)
5a. Dr Pepper float made with Blue Bell Homemade vanilla ice cream (so I cheated)
The runner-ups would be my favorite Cabernet with anything...the homemade ice cream and grilled burgers we had at every birthday celebration at my grandmother's growing up...the first time I ever made fresh fettuccine with a liquor tomato sauce...fresh hot pastries in Paris...a big fat dill pickle...my mother's sage stuffing (wow I forgot about that one)...fried cheese curds from the Minnesota State Fair...the extremely sharp cheddar cheese tasted at the Cabot Creamery in Vermont...the hot milky tea I shared in college at Friday night tea parties...

Those burgers that Governor used to make are my standard for hamburgers, too. They had the best flavor and I always had so much fun during those get-togethers. Ditto on the stuffing too - mine never comes out quite as good as mom's, probably because I omit the celery - bleck! And I think this is actually Granny's recipe - and it probably goes back farther than her...
