I was wondering if anyone here has ever had an eggnog milkshake? I have never had one until this year and it was like an OMG moment. Actually it was more of a HFS moment. I like eggnog, I'd say I'm even an eggnog fan but nothing should taste that good. It's like the milkshake part elevated the eggnog part, or hell, maybe it's the other way around but who ever thought that shit up is a genius. It's kindly like reeses cups. Chocolate and peanut butter. Genius. Caramel and popcorn, but the genius part is adding the peanuts. Or baked potatoes and sour cream. A baked potato and butter is good stuff but the sour cream elevates it to a whole nother level.

But there are some things that shouldn't be messed with at all. Like steaks. I like mine just plain, no seasoning, no marinade, no salt... just the raw taste of the meat.

And some foods it doesn't matter what you do to them, they're just that good. Like the tomato. Eat it sliced, plain. Add salt if you want. Or throw it in a salad. Throw it in a soup. Mash it up and make pizza sauce out of it. Hell, fry it up when it's green! I miss tomatoes in the winter. Hot house tomatoes just aren't the same as sun grown ones. If you ever come through Tennessee (east) stop and ask for Grainger County tomatoes. There's just something about them.

Ice cream is pretty versatile too if you think about it. You can have it plain or add just about any fruit to it. And peanuts, pecans, walnuts, cherries, whipped cream. Chocolate. Butterscotch. Caramel. And it is a 'elevator' food too cause it makes cake and pie better. Shit you can even make an ice cream cake and that's just the damned shit right there son. Genius. Ever had baked alaska? That's like the best dessert EVER. That mf should get the nobel prize, or something, whoever thought that up.

But I'm not a huge cake fan, although I like it and I won't turn it away. I'm more of a pie person. Homemade lemon marange pie. My grandma used to make that for me just cause she knew it was my favorite. Homemade - by grandma. I don't think food can ever get any better than that. That's a gift of love right there. I don't know what that yellow stuff is but damn damn that's just some good shit. And then you add the white stuff - I assume that's the marange part. *shrug* but what ever it is, it's an *elevator* food too cause the yellow shit just wouldn't taste the same without it. Now that I'm thinking about it, pecan pie is good shit too. I have no idea what the brown gooey shit is but yummmm and then the soft crunch of the pecans - but you have to have whipped cream with it.

There's alot of foods like the pecan pie and whipped cream. I'm not sure what to call them... sister foods, partner foods. I mean what is apple pie without some ice cream? Peaches without cream? Shit, remember the band Peaches and cream - oh wait that was peaches and herb. Of course peaches are better with herb, hell all food is better with herb LOL ahhh sigh that was back in the day.
