There are those famous things that everyone just loves to snack on, and most of the time you can just buy them at the convenient store or a grocery store. But, some how, my mom has figured out how to make them herself and make them taste a million times better. I can no longer eat beef jerky that you buy from the store, because it just can’t compare to the kind that she makes herself. I don’t know why, or what kind of magic she does, but the beef jerky she makes cannot be mocked in the same manner, either. Even with the exact recipe it will not taste the same, because it’s the little random things that she adds a bit more of that she doesn’t even notice that make it into what it is. And Chex Mix? Yeah right. I haven’t eaten Chex Mix out of a bag in years. It just doesn’t compare in the slightest to the kind she makes. And, when it is juuuust out of the oven and you get to grab some of it, that is the best. When she makes her jerky, it has to marinate for a long time, and then she puts it in the oven for several hours. So, you get to sit in the house and just smell it everywhere. It takes so long to be ready, and no one should be eating raw meat, but it’s so hard to wait until it’s done. It’s these special little things that make the holidays even better.
