so i came across this somewhere and it looked like fun so here goes!
Original instructions:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. (i can't figure out how to do strike throughs so i'm putting these in parentheses)
i also underlined things that i've never tried that sound particularly interesting or things that I’d just like to know what all the fuss is about.

so those are my answers. fun huh? the food thing has always been fun for me. i love to go to new restaurants and try new things. we always had to try something at least once when we were growing up. this was a rule my brother and sister had before me and it seemed to work so they reused it when i came along even though it had backfired on my mom. when they were at some small mom and pop place in italy mom had to eat tongue with the membrane still on it. i'm with her. i don't think i could eat something that was about to taste me back...
i'll try almost anything now.
but i don't enjoy blood; so i don't eat beef or other red meats. i've tried, i just don't like it. i was a vegetarian - well the pesce-dairy-egg type vegetarian however you're supposed to say that all fancy like :) for about 12 years. dave likes to say that he got me to eat meat again and in a way he did. i got so sick of eating salads and pasta when we would go out to restaurants (and dave loves to go out) that i started eating chicken. it evolved into eating some pork. and well that's where it stopped.
dave and i both love to cook. we recently (about a week ago) got a grill and we're loving having that to use to burn dinner. fish chicken vegetables. it is all fair game. we even grilled red potatoes last night instead of baking them and they turned out pretty good. i just stuck them around the edges when we started our fish for dinner and left them until the coals died out.
we've also been on this salad kick recently. we tear up some lettuce and bury it in all kinds of stuff. here's what we had for dinner last night.
red leaf lettuce
mandarin oranges
wasabi peas
carrots
celery
green onions
raw red bell pepper
shelled edamame
cold cooked bamboo rice
grilled steelhead marinated in teriyaki sauce
dressed with a splace each of:
thai peanut sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic chili paste, lime juice, and honey
just for reference - that is my 4 quart pyrex bread bowl :) we like our salads here.
i'm gonna go throw together a southwestern inspired salad now.
