The Food Meme

We’re having a wonderful time in Oregon…spending time with family and relaxing. 🙂 Not much time for the computer. I’ve posted a few posts that I had “in the can”, but I’m running out of those…so maybe I’ll find time to write a bit about our vacation. No pics, though, because I’m not sure how to download them onto this computer, so you’ll have to wait for that. I did finish another book, so maybe I’ll write something about that in a day or two. Anyway, here’s one of my last ‘canned’ blog posts, from before we left CA. 🙂 I found this at Ally Bean’s site:

How do you like your eggs? Sometimes scrambled other times over medium (what Maya likes to call, Sunny side down)

How do you take your coffee/tea? Coffee – latte. Tea, hot – with lemon. Tea, iced – with lemon.

Favorite breakfast food: Eggs and hash browns, or cold pizza.

Peanut butter: Smooth.

What kind of dressing on your salad? Marie’s Blue Cheese Vinagrette, which was introduced to me by Tommy’s Mommy.

Coke or Pepsi? Coke. It was definately Pepsi for the first 29 years of my life, though…when I got pregnant, it changed to Coke. Weird, huh?

You’re feeling lazy. What do you make? Cheese and crackers, or toast.

You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order? Eggplant, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, basil, and fresh tomatoes.

You feel like cooking. What do you make? Pasta, in one of its many beautiful forms.

Do any foods bring back good memories? Blueberry or apple turnovers (Peppridge Farms). My Grandpa would make them for me for breakfast when I spent the night. I always burned my tongue on them, but I didn’t care.

Do any foods bring back bad memories? PF Changs — food poisoning.

Do any foods remind you of someone? Lima Beans. I used to like the ones my Grandpa made.

Is there a food you refuse to eat? Internal organs of any kind.

What was your favorite food as a child? Watermelon.

Is there a food that you hated as a child but now love? Avocados. Also sour cream.

Is there a food that you loved as a child but now hate? Can’t think of any. Things I might not want as much of, yes. Hate? No.

Favorite fruit & vegetable: Apricots…no, raspberries; green beans.

Favorite junk food: Ruffles Natural Potato Chips. Or Cheetos. It’s a tie. Kind of depends on if I mind my fingers getting orange that day.

Favorite between meal snack: Anything salty.

Do you have any weird food habits? Sometimes at the movies, I dip my popcorn in my soda. It started as a way to eat popcorn without it sticking in my braces, and now I like the taste.

You’re on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on? Salad. Fruit. Yogurt.

You’re off your diet. Now what would you like? Avocado burger from Manny’s (in Stockton, CA).
How spicy do you order Indian/Thai? Fairly mild.

Can I get you a drink? Wine.

Red wine or white? I prefer red, but it gives me a headache, so white, please.

Favorite dessert? Ice cream or sorbet.

The perfect nightcap? Hmmm. Maybe a glass of chardonnay?
