Day 5: Favorite foods
Aw yeah I love delicious food. Sadly I have a poor sense of smell and a lack of discriminating taste, so I can't get into the whole "write 10k words on this salad" deal.
My favorite general category is fruit. Fruits are so tasty, I honestly cannot think of a fruit I actively dislike. Plus you can make smoothies out of them! My favorite fruit is cherries, but watermelons, pomegranates, and raspberries are also A+. Too bad humans aren't frugivores, I would genuinely love surviving solely off of fruit.
I've lately had a craving for sardines (easily satisfied) and pickled herring (not so easily satisfied). Other comfort foods include pickles, macaroni and cheese, instant ramen, canned corn and roast beef.
I'm not a great cook but I do love trying. My most recent attempt was apple squares, made for my step-mom's birthday. They ended up pretty good (despite, uh, forgetting to check how much white sugar we had and partly substituting with brown sugar). Here's the regular recipe, for those who are interested:
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups sifted flouwer
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups thinly sliced Mac apples
1 cup nuts (optional)
Beat sugar + eggs together until light
Sift flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt together; add to sugar/egg mixture
Add oil + vanilla and mix well
Fold in apples (and nuts)
Bake in greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes
