And it's not just America. Despite our gluttonous habits, their are other cultures that appreciate food much more than we do. They just don't go overboard on their portions like Americans do. In all cultures, people associate food with celebrations, socializing, even seduction. The meals I ate on vacation were one way to keep track of all the fun things I did because everytime I wanted to see someone, they said "How bout dinner/lunch/cocktails?" Honestly, it was the company I enjoyed much more athn the food but describing all the fun conversations I had in Minnesota would take days to blog.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344778775085687558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13911787.post-1123699978030510302005-08-10T14:52:00.000-04:002005-08-10T14:52:00.000-04:00Why is America focused on food all the time!!!Why is America focused on food all the time!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13911787.post-1123345871537002722005-08-06T12:31:00.000-04:002005-08-06T12:31:00.000-04:00dancingo4-The general girls night gorging is assum...dancingo4-<BR/>The general girls night gorging is assumed. The Cheetos and m&m's are a maintstay but the cookies and pringles are a nice addition. Drinking wine through licorice straws was interesting. Good in theory, but I think the licorice straws would be betters suited to daiquiris. Maybe we'll experiment next time...<BR/><BR/>anonymous-<BR/>Dean and I have an agreement not to discuss his eating habits while I'm out of town.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344778775085687558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13911787.post-1123275141194592742005-08-05T16:52:00.000-04:002005-08-05T16:52:00.000-04:00Did Dean loose the five pounds you gained?Did Dean loose the five pounds you gained?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13911787.post-1123251365303466212005-08-05T10:16:00.000-04:002005-08-05T10:16:00.000-04:00I'm sorry but I must remind you of the gorging tha...I'm sorry but I must remind you of the gorging that took place after the girls night out at Oddfellows: 2-3 bottles of wine accompanied by a bag of cheetos, pringles, cookies, m&ms and general grazing on the snacks. <BR/><BR/>OH - and we can't forget the licorice straws.
