My Love Affair With Ranch Dressing...
...Began just before the turn of the century, circa 1990. I was attending the State University College at Buffalo, better known as Buff State. I landed there after a two year stretch at the State University Of New York at Morrisville, better known as the State University Of New York at Morrisville. There, I was introduced to Buffalo Wings, something unheard of in New York's largest city, New York, where I spent a large part of my time before leaving for Central New York. Back then, experts in the field of drinking beer and consuming Buffalo Wings advocated eating the fried delicacies with bleu, or better known as blue, since I don't speak French, dressing. I went along with this and them, since there were more of them than me, and naturally, felt outnumbered. But when I arrived at Buff State, I was on my own. I was going to write my own rules. I was going to play my own game. I was going to enjoy different kinds of dressings on my Wings. I couldn't wait. A new day was dawning.
But in Buffalo, people were rewriting rules I hadn't had a chance to write yet. Why, they were putting bleu, better known as blue, since I don't speak French, dressing on their pizza for Pete's sake! Were these people crazy? Were they deranged? Or were they geniuses? Yep. They were geniuses, but I was about to improve on their genius.
For when it came for me to consume my pizza and my Wings in Buffalo, I bucked the bleu cheese trend, and began to put ranch dressing on all things Wingy and pizza-y! The taste was like heaven. There is no other way to describe it.
But did I stop with Wings and pizza? Oh no! Fries were up next. More fantasticness. Pickles, chips, burgers, lettuce and whatever else I consumed would go great with ranch dressing! My world was almost complete.
I needed to meet Megan for my world to be complete. That's another story for another day, my friends, but for now, know this:
I am not alone. Far from it. There are others out there who enjoy ranch dressing as much as I do. (Did I mention I had some at lunch today?) Oh, yes, it's true. Check out the good people at Planet Ranch. Yes! The dressing has a website! (Bleu cheese doesn't. I looked.)
Hot damn!
