Hi, my name is Mike, and I’m a foodie. I love to prepare and eat good food. I very much enjoy partaking in various kinds of beverage merriment. Sad thing is that the majority of our society is in a persistent ‘hurry up and go’ state – not taking the time to relax in preparing a meal, smelling its amora and admiring the final result before wolfing it all down.
I had a conversation recently about favorite foods and drinks, and realized that I don’t have a favorite food per se. I can, however, classify some of my favorites into categories of cuisines. For instance, I love curry and coconut milk – so, I naturally like numerous Thai dishes. I also like the mixture of vinegar, peppercorns and bay leaves – hence my love for Adobo – the well-known Filipino dish (and my wife makes the best, of course). Also, balsamic vinegar & olive oil makes a great glaze for grilled chicken – something that’s on a number of menus at Italian eateries.
As far as drinks are concerned, I’m almost exclusively a martini guy. I enjoy a good, cold beer and nice glass of red wine every once in a while, but I love the mixture of vodka with various other liqueurs. I’m also kind of a simpleton – I like plan old-fashioned water with my meals, with the occassional iced tea.
How about you? Please share with me some of your favs…
Cheers…

Martini? I’ve only seen you drink screwdriver.
As for me, it’s Rolling Rock all the way. Or, Corona! 🙂

You’re also right about Coronas… nothing beats a cold Corona on a hot day…
Comment by mwrichardson May 20, 2008 @ 11:50 ami LOVE brasillian food. I ate some of the best food I’ve ever had in brasil. With that said, and in the tropic spirit, I really enjoy mojitos and caipirinhas. I also like spanish food – like tapas with red wine or sangria. delicious. I’ll be having a tapas party once I move…
