Thoughts: I really expanded my pallet this year, and this list is definitely incomplete. I also tried out Torchy's Tacos, and some wines and beers are definitely missing, as well as all the foods Mary Vo had me try. Or Therese's cheese, or the farmer's market food in San Antonio. I want to keep up with this sort of list more, it gives me ideas for menus, things to try to make at home, that sort of thing. And I like food. A lot. Also, crazy the vastly different grocery stores I went to this year.
