I "Might" Have Food Issues...

When it comes to food, my answer is generally..."Yes, please!" And although I don't think I'm a picky eater, I do have a few "rules" in which I live by when it comes to the food that goes into mah belleh.

Rule #1 - Under no circumstances shall my food EVER touch any of the other food on my plate. There is really no exception to this rule. If I could have every single meal for the rest of my life served in compartmental trays/plates...I would. Seeing my plate piled high on Thanksgiving makes me physically ill. If ever my food does touch, all the areas that are touching never get eaten. Shephards Pie would be my "food nemesis".

Rule #2 - No vegetables or beans. Period. There are VERY FEW exceptions to this rule. I will eat broccolini, but not broccoli. And even then I like the stems but not the bushy floret part. *ick* I ADORE potatoes and would eat them every day.

Rule #3 - No sauces/gravies on my food. I would never put gravy on my meat or potatoes. The ONLY sauce I will put up with is on my pasta.

Rule #4 - No condiments. Ever. And when I say condiments, I mean ALL condiments. No ketchup, no mustard, no steak sauce, no BBQ sauce. The ONLY one I will have on occasion is mayo and/or tartar sauce. And only a few times a year.

**Random food "no-no" - I HATE hotdogs except for 1-2 times a year when I crave one and have to have one...but ONLY a red dog. **
