Food and traditions!

In my family food centers around most get togethers. If its someones birthday there is always cake and ice cream after dinner. If its Christmas there is always ham and my moms famous hash brown mash potatoes yum! Plus there is all those great desserts. Thanksgiving is the obvious turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. All the get together we have seem to involve food at one point or another. America as a culture though is revolves around food. What your eating,where your eating it, who your eating it with, why your eating...these questions always come up through out just a day. Which why it doesn't surprise me that at most gathering either with friends or family there is always food. Unless we are out in the boat when we get together food is always around. I mean food isn't why we are celebrating and it definitely isn't the reason that we are together but it is always looked for. When certain times of years come by people in my family start to crave those special foods that only come around that time of year. If one of the special foods weren't available at the event where it is looked forward to all year there might be some serious drama. So in the end food isn't the main focus or reason that we are together but it is apart of the memories and the fun.
