What "must have" Thanksgiving dish will never be on your table?
green bean casserole - ew
Oranges: California vs. Florida
I agree that FL oranges are much sweeter than CA oranges. I grew up on FL oranges and still adore them when I can get them. I now live in Southern CA and honestly these oranges are less sweet.
Most Overrated Dishes
I agree that American Mexican is overrated! I'm not really into it.
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall...which season is your favorite for food?
Fall/winter - I get to enjoy heartier foods and the aromas are much more delectable.

Belgian Waffles
Bacon
Sausage
