You are what you eat.

My family has the typical traditions when it comes to food. We eat Turkey and mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving with some awesome Pumpkin pie. Then Christmas we eat pretty much the same thing but add some canned cranberries to spruce it up, then we will have some type of dessert. St. Patricks day my mother will make her favorite dish of all time. Corned beef and cabbage.. yuck! We are very Irish so this holiday means a lot to us. Then we do the typical 4th of July foods... burgers.. hot dogs.. potato salad etc. We don't eat dinner together hardly ever anymore. My brother is married and has two kids and i am almost 20 years old and im getting married plus working two jobs and college full time i don't have much time to come home and eat dinner. Getting together to eat food does make it feel like the family all lives under one roof again its really nice. So i associate food with family gatherings.
