It is a tradition in my family, anytime we stay up late to watch a movie we have to have dominoes. Only if it's late though, and anytime we have general conference we must have a cinnamon roll.
Whenever I go home to Michigan to visit my family, we go to one of the most delicious restaurants I've ever been to. It's called Ishtar. It's an Iraqi food place and it's absolutely incredible. Really great service and also really, really delicious food. Middle Eastern food in general is just amazing. My family loves it. I grew up in Detroit and Detroit has one of the highest populations of Middle Eastern people outside of the Middle East. So the food there is absolutely incredible.
If it's a holiday, well growing up if it were a holiday or any kind of like other out of normal events there would always be either crepes or cinnamon rolls which my mom made so perfectly and deliciously. Weirdly enough my family is also very large fans of angel food cake because my dad he's had angel food cake on his birthday for like every year of his life and um now we all love it and look forward to his birthday so much because we all get to have angel food cake so light and fluffy and you throw peaches and cream on it so good
Every fall we make sourdough bread. Well, we make sourdough bread all year long, but every fall we would make sourdough bread and white chicken chili just to kind of like celebrate the welcoming of fall and it is the best meal that you'll ever have and it's so warm and the bread and the chili together is just perfection.
Growing up we always had pizza on Fridays with our neighbors and that was just fun. It was with our family and other families in our neighborhood and it was just a weekly thing and we would all swim in our pool. It was in Florida so we were able to do it year-round but yeah super fun.
A food tradition was to always do breakfast in bed for whoever's birthday it was in the house.
One of my family food traditions is before we're in the middle of General Conference, we're in that like little break area, the break in between, my grandmother would be making cinnamon rolls, her like little special recipe, and in that little span of that free time that we have, we would eat cinnamon rolls and we have like breakfast. It was awesome.
Something my wife does on Sunday mornings that I really enjoy is she'll cook up a bunch of German pancakes. And I love eating German pancakes with applesauce and canned fruit. It's just so delicious. And yeah, that's kind of a tradition we've been doing pretty regularly recently, especially since we have a bunch of chickens now.
One of my family food traditions is Christmas Eve. My sister's birthday is on Christmas, mine is on the 29th, and then there's obviously Christmas. So we kind of go celebrate me and my sister's birthdays at Tacano's. And plug, if you sign up for the rewards, if your birthday is that month and you go with another person, your meal is free. So me and my Joss, me and my sister, we would eat for free. And it literally is the best food that you've ever had. I love a good Brazilian grill. So we would do that every December.
