Forget In-N-Out; Savor A Local Burger At Five Guys While Sipping Dunkin’ Coffee.

New Hampshire residents have a lot of pride in where we live.  Especially if you’ve lived here your whole life.  There are certain questions that when people not from around here ask, we tend to roll our eyes.  I’ve come up with a few that really get under my skin.

Not Everyone in New Hampshire Knows How to Garden

People assume that everyone from New Hampshire grow their own food.  That’s just not true.  I shop at Hannaford, sometimes Tendercrop for my produce.  Don’t get me wrong, I admire those who grown their own food, but just because I live in NH, doesn’t mean I can grow a tomato.  I wish.

Not Everyone in NH Loves the Cold

This one really gets me.  I do not know how to ski.  I suppose it’s true that at a few times in my life I have been dragged to the mountain and convinced that I should put on a pair of skis and try my skill at flying down a mountain with these huge sticks on my feet, trying to avoid the trees. All the while being frozen to the bone.  No thank you. I’ll meet you in the lodge and greet you with hot cocoa and love.

No, we don’t have an In & Out Burger and I’m not sure we want or need one.  We have Five Guys and if you’ve ever tried their french fries, you know that’s all we need. We also don’t have as many Starbucks as you might want if you’re not from around here. We are happy with a Dunks around every corner.

Oh, and I wish I knew Adam Sandler.
