This week my mom is visiting me from the Midwest. One of the first things she did when she walked through the door on Saturday is open the fridge to see if we needed to go grocery shopping.
My mom is old school Polish and her idea of a good meal is a BIG meal consisting of meat and lots of potatoes. It’s very funny because whenever she comes to visit, I’m at least 5 lbs heavier at the end of her stay and so is my dog! But my mom comes from a culture where food was a scarcity at one point… So for her being able to put food on the table and feeding her loved ones is an emotional gesture of caring.
The great thing about the U.S. is that we’re such a diverse nation and one thing that brings us all together is food! We all love trying different cuisines, and have even gone as far as adopting various food themes for different days of the week like Taco Tuesday, or Pizza Friday.
