Our love affair with food

Food - Us foodies spend a fair amount of time thinking about, shopping for, and preparing food. And once it is prepared, we expend much thought in finding adjectives to describe the food. Listed below are many adjectives I use. I am sure you have your favorites. Post yours here!

Adjectives: Acidic, bitter, bland, devine, dry, flavorful, fruity, full bodied, heavenly, hot, juicy, luscious, mouthwatering, rancid, raunchy, pungent, rich, salty, savory, scrumptious, sharp, sour, spicy, strong, succulent, sugary, sweet, tangy, tart, tasty, unsweetened, yummy, zesty and as Dane Cook would say: De-li-cio-us!"

And we even go so far as to rate our food with names such; "Better than sex cake" and "Robert Redford dessert." Now, I'm not sure who all voted on the first one, not me. There are some desserts that I have eaten where I felt as though I had died and gone to Heaven, but, never have I had a dessert that I would rate "better than sex.". Now maybe if they were combined...okay, TMI, I know.

Dish - All this talk about the economy and the 700 Billion dollar bailout makes me and many of my friends say one thing - can't they just print more money? It is kind of like a kid saying to their parent, "you still have money, you have more checks left.". Heck, why not make it round it up to 100 Billion and give money to all the people who are loosing their houses. After all aren't we something like 1 Trillion dollars in debt? Are we honestly going to ever pay that back? And if so,how long is it going to take, and to whom? It all seems as though it is pretend. And we wonder with the Government spending like this, who is our role model of being fiscally responsible?
Don't get me wrong, I am not totally against the bailout. I think without it it got be disasterious, but I do think that there should be some plan of action that those who walk away with millions in their pockets - are prevented in the future.

Embellish - we all have the desire to do good things, sometimes we just make bad choices. Make the right choice today!
