Her Mother's Daughter

For anyone who has asked me

"What is your favorite food?"

You will know the answer is

potatoes

in any form.

I decided long ago that potatoes

were the perfect food.

They can be boiled,

mashed

fried,

once baked,

twice baked,

au gratin,

or funeral.

They go with a variety of toppings

from simple butter or ketchup

to smothered in sour cream, cheese and bacon

(as a side note,

doesn't everything taste great

smothered in cheese and bacon?)

Frequently when dining out

I will order a salad with a side of fries

or a side of veggies and a side of fries

or the cheese fries with a side of veggies

are you seeing a pattern?

Much of what I order

revolves around the side I get.

Well, we recently went to McDonald's

Where my friends lovingly gave Miss L

some french fries.

And did she love them like her mom?

You tell me...

Yup, that fry dangled there

being gnawed on

for 20 minutes.

She never even needed to touch it.

That mouth was not letting go

of that greasy, salty

goodness.
