1. Write about your earliest memory of food or something associated with food, such as shopping or cooking.
One of my earliest memories of food are from when I was around three years old. I have a picture embedded in my head of me sitting on my 'play' blanket (a small, colorful blanket with pockets and things sewed on it to play with) while eating a piece of orange fake cheddar cheese. I still remember the taste in my mouth, as well as the memory of me returning often to my mother for some more.
My entire family is allergic to dairy, in any form. So eating soy cheese, soy and rice milk as well as other substitutes for butter, and yes, ice-cream, are things that I have grown up with. Another memory I have is from when I was about four or five. My aunt accidentally gave me some regular dairy ice-cream, and me, thinking that it was the kind I could have, ate it all! When I found out I felt very guilty, though I can't remember if I got sick or not. Most of the time when any of my family eats dairy we get a really bad cold and sore throat. Now as I am older sometimes I will knowingly eat things with dairy, because it looks SO good. But sure enough a few weeks later I am suffering the consequences.
Food is definitely one of my weaknesses! I LOVE food! It's something I look forward to everyday! There isn't really any kind of food that I don't like. I'm definitely the least picky eater in my family! I guess it all started with my fun and happy time of eating cheese on my 'play' blanket.
