11 Moments That Get Foodies Excited, As Told By Little Kids
Cathe

Anyone who knows me well knows that I really enjoy food. Like, I really enjoy food. When I was in high school, I used to tell people that I had "a deep passion for good food" to make it sound better than it really is. When I first started writing this article, I had plans to title it something like, "11 Things You Can Relate To When You're Easily Excitable" or "11 Things That Get Me Pumped." I identify myself as easily excitable all the time. As I sat creating my list, though, I realized a common theme - every item on my list was somehow related to food. It was an embarrassingly true reality, fam, but you know what? I just decided to roll with it. I hope you enjoy my list of food-related moments that get me pumped up, and what better way to express my excitement than with a bunch of pictures of cute little kids?

1. Waking up with enough time to make yourself a yummy breakfast

There's no better way to start off my day than a three-egg omelet with ham, mushrooms, and spinach.

2. Walking into work and seeing that someone brought in a good snack for the office

Aw snap, my midday snack just got upgraded!

3. Dive-bombing into your fridge/cupboard after a long day because you know that you just went grocery shopping

Please don't let me have bought my favorite snack. It's over, fam.

4. Coming home to a fantastic-smelling dinner...or really just coming home to dinner of any kind.

When you love any and all foods like me, you get hype no matter what meal is being cooked. It's the foodie life, y'all.

5. Ordering your go-to dish at your favorite restaurant

You already know that it's about to rock your world. You don't even have to wait to taste it. Your tried-and-true never lets you down.

6. Trying something new and being blown away at how good it is

I can't believe I've gone this long without trying you. I've been missing out on so much. *sniff sniff* I'm so glad I've found you.

7. Seeing your food coming when eating out at a restaurant

I'm convinced there are few sights more beautiful. I mean, the first sight of your spouse on your wedding day or the first glimpse of your newborn baby would probably beat it, but spotting your long-awaiting food floating towards you on that blessed server's tray has got to be a strong third.

8. Eating said food after it has just arrived

God bless the people who ever go out to eat with me. I just silently revel in the deliciousness of my dish for a while, and then when someone asks me how my food is, I go into full Food Network mode. "How's my burger? Ugh, so good. The patty's got some great flavor to it all by itself, but the crispiness of the bacon gives it a great contrast in texture, and their special sauce gives it a hint of sweetness and urmph." (That urmph was me taking another bite.)

9. Plopping a scoop of vanilla ice cream on any warm dessert

I'm happy to have vanilla ice cream on a warm brownie, a slice of apple pie, a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie - vanilla ice cream makes everything better.

10. Not realizing that there would be food at an event and walking in to see a spread

It could be literally anything. Finger foods all the way up to a full-fledged meal and anywhere in between. I'm a happy camper. I basically dance my way through the line for food.

11. Meeting someone who loves food just as much as you do

Meeting a fellow foodie = immediate kinship. You go into the conversation as strangers, and five minutes later, you've shared your favorite place to eat in town, the short version of your go-to recipe, and your dreams and aspirations of a nationwide food tour.

For all my foodies out there, this one was for you. Don't let the haters stop your shine. Stay excited about your food, or whatever thing in this wonderful life that makes you feel like a little kid again.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
