Friday Five

(Link at left)

1. What is one food (or meal) you used to hate but now love?

I was a very picky eater as a kid. Hated carrots, hated onions, hated tomatoes, hated cukes, hated burnt toast, hated...a lot of stuff. I will eat carrots and onions and "overcooked" toast now. ;-)

2. If you had to give up one of your favorite foods (or meals) for good, what would it be, and why?

I anticipate that sometime in the next decade I will be told to stop eating either sugar or cholesterol-laden foods (or both). It's going to suck. So I'm eating my fill now. I will miss sugar a lot.

3. Which food seems like it should be healthy and isn't, and do you eat it? Why?

Potatoes. And eggs. And I eat them both anyway.

4. If you were an item of food, personified, what would you be and why?

I'm all about potatoes today. ;-)

5. You've seen tomatoes and pies used for this purpose... now think of a more inventive item of food one could throw at someone. What is it and why would throwing it at someone be hilarious?

I dunno, the whole food-throwing thing...just doesn't really make me laugh.
