SQT: Nom nom nom edition

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list of foods the gastronome Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives. I’ve seen this meme around but not gotten around to doing it. Working nights provides a good opportunity

The rules of the meme:
Bold those you have tried.
Strikethrough those you wouldn’t eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you’ll never eat again.
Asterisk any items you’d be interested in trying but have not yet.
Under line anything you don’t know what it is.

Multiple Monday on Tuesday

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

1) Do you have air conditioning?

Absolutely. I couldn’t imagine living in the southern US without a/c. In fact, I didn’t even know they built cars and houses without a/c until I moved to Colorado. I was stunned!

2) Does anyone like swimming?

We all like it very much and were on a swim team until we were about 18 or so. We haven’t gone swimming in years, though.

3) Is it raining right now?

No, but we had a marvelous overwhelming thunderstorm last night, with lightning and sheets of rain.

4) Is the body wearing shoes?

Yes - cheapy thongs from Target. I notice that we need a pedicure rather desperately.

5) Is anyone drinking anything right now?

Diet Pepsi. Nummy.
