Just in case you didn't know...or had any doubt in your mind...be it known, that IT'S ALL ABOUT THE COKE. And more recently, it's all about the REAL Coke...with the REAL sugar...that we import from Mexico. Thank you Costco for importing my addiction for me! Not that I shun the cans, but let's face it...there's nothing like the REAL THING!
Many of you know of my Coke addiction. It might actually be worse than my potato/French fry addiction. I mean, I have magnets, I have toys, I have a shirt, I have a watch...it really is ALL ABOUT THE COKE.
While the Mexican Coke is high on my list, the best Coke to be found is, without question, hands-down, at McDonald's. You know it's true. Some days, it's the only thing that a person needs. If you haven't experienced it for yourself, do it now. Seriously. You need it. Matter of fact, I think I need to make a detour on my way to the game today...for some McDonald's Coke...and a side of fries. See ya!

It's no secret to anyone that has known me for more than say, a day, that I'm addicted to French Fries. I thought I was addicted to the potato...and that may be true, but I started thinking about it today, and there are actually several potato dishes that I have no need to be involved with...
Potato salad - it's like an oxymoron to me...potatoes in salad? it's just wrong.
Potato pancakes - seriously? the breakfast potatoes should be fried people!
Sweet potato pie - there are just no words; and really, the only way I can be involved with a sweet potato is if it's in the form of a sweet potato fry made by The Counter.
Anything involving the word hash is also off my list. I also don't need to be involved with snooty potatoes served with snooty food and snooty restaurants. It's a potato. It's simple food. It knows it doesn't need to impress me.
But by and large, if it's a potato, I will probably eat it. There's no question, though, that the fried variety is my favorite. When I order fries as my side dish, I know in my heart that they are really my main dish. I just get the meat to be nice. Sometimes at home, I just have the fries. Hey. I'm grown. I can. You can't stop me. My mom said it was okay!

But hands down, the best ones are made by my mom. She learned by watching my great grandmother, and try as I might, I cannot perfect the skill. It's her true gift. Yes. I'm jealous.
I don't know why this is important...it probably isn't. And yet, I'm sharing it anyway...because, as previously stated, I'm grown, and I can.
So, what are YOU addicted to in the way of food? Do you also crave the crunchy goodness of the fried potato? Do you yearn for the yummy goodness of the baked potato skin? When someone uses the term couch potato, do you secretly hope there's actually a couch made out of potatoes? Okay, me either...in fact, that's a teensy bit creepy.
Anyway, that's all for today. Hope you're having a fabulous Monday! I'll be back later with more interesting insights to the world that is me.
