I only discovered it about two years ago, and I like it as long as it's the plain variety. I'll offer it to the baby next time we have some, though, because when I think of all the things I never tried till I was an adult, it's fairly pathetic. We were a Wonder Bread, plain mashed potatoes, canned green bean kind of family. I will say that my mom is a much better and more adventurous cook now, though.

AmyLiz get out of my brain!!! I was JUST thinking this while feeding the baby. Really. I mean, I never even had yogurt until college. Or Chinese food. Or asparagus. I know my family was stretching a modest food budget to feed five kids and so we didn't eat out or anything but I'm simply amazed sometimes at the kinds of things Owen will get to try that I never even imagined existed until I was an adult.

I love hummus, but like most things these days, require it to be light on the garlic.

Our water heater is broken. Waaaah! I am not human without my shower first thing in the morning.

My verbal SAT score was 330 points higher than my math score (720/390).

Eek! I'd invite you to use our shower, but we're not there!

Mmm.... Jen in my shower... Thank you, you just made me smile!

Hee. It wasnt budget so much for us as that my mom didn't love to cook, and she was also ill a lot of the time (lupus and back surgeries). So we got a lot of Campbell soup-based casseroles and stuff out of boxes.

I've tried to give the kids as many different foods as possible to try, and Ben especially digs it. He loves lox and cream cheese on bagels, shrimp, lobster bisque, anything spicy... I don't think I even had a taco until high school.

I like hummus. Especially with lots of garlic. I also like chickpeas straight out of the can.

I like pizza
I like bagels
I like hotdogs with mustard and beer
I'll eat eggplant
I could even eat a baby deer
lalalalalala-la-la
Who's that baby deer on the lawn there?!

ION, Incompetent!Boss has truly lived up to his name today and has, in the process, made my life a living hell. I think he's actually afraid of me, because I didn't yell; I got very *very* quiet and asked "WHO DID THIS?!?"

I need a beer.

I am now earwormed. Not only with the song, but with the line "NINE thumbs up what the HELL is that??" from the same ep, which is a staple catchphrase in our household.

There is no form of hummus that I do not love. Lovelovelove.

We are putting our dining room back together, Nic's reassembling his computer, and my glamorous madeover CBS-hogging self gets to have blood drawn, and do laundry, and clean catboxes.

Dear FUCK, I miss coffee.

Why, yes, I read that as "incontinent boss" and had visions of things most ooky dancing through my head.

Aw, thanks for the offer anyways, Nora. There are people in the basement right now fixing and/or replacing the heater, so hopefully a hot shower will be mine before the day is through.
