I think I made a meara...
Cilantro – best chopped with onions.
Grapefruit – best eaten in sections with pistachios on the side.
Olives – best are the small green ones with the big pits. I think they’re Spanish- they have a very nutty taste.
Root Beer – IBC is the best but I will drink Barqs because it has caffeine.
Bagel – Lenders because I don’t feel stuffed after I eat a whole one and they have the right texture. When I was growing up there were quite a few houseguests whose first bagel ever was a Lenders in our kitchen. Can you believe there was a time when people hadn’t heard of bagels? Or nachos?
Bacon – Best baked... so far. I must try the pancakes!
Tomatoes – Best with fresh basil and buffalo mozzarella.
Calamari – Best with the whole body thrown out. Cook just the legs (the smaller the better) over high heat in garlic olive oil until crispy and dark brown around the edges. Squeeze a lemon. Nom nom.
Eggplant – yay!
Pineapple on pizza – Best with pepperoni.
Anchovies – no thank you!
Caviar – don’t tell but I really don’t see what the big deal is. I will ooh and ahh over caviar for the sake of ceremony but they just taste like little explodey balls of salt to me.
Tea- I intend to steep herbal tea for five minutes and black tea for three but I usually over brew both. I need a penguin! I often add milk.
Beer – Guinness, please.
Scotch – Yes, or bourbon. To me the one true Eggnog has Evan Williams and a grating of nutmeg.
Tequila – I should probably stick to champagne.
Fernet - never tried but I suspect... see above.
Sleep - back and side.
Fork - right hand. I switch with my knife & I so don’t think about it that I had to pretend to eat to be sure. Of the three boys here with me, two of them (the ambidextrous ones) eat willy nilly. The lefty keeps his knife in his left hand and his fork to the right.
Watch - Left hand, face down.
I am right handed.
Manband – boo.
Chicken pad chicken pad chicken pad thaaaaaaiiiiii – I think I just fell in love with aimee.
Another trivial thing that bugs me - people who drive convertibles with the top down but the windows up. It's aesthetically wrong!
Oh but that keeps me from getting whipped in the eyes by my hair or having to wear a scarf.
It was a dog from 7-11, so I ate it here at the office.
I so took this the wrong way while skimming.
Happy Anniversary, Sheryl & DH!
edited multiple times because, Yay Guinness!
