Meme a little meme of me...
Holler, my veggie blogger friend from Scotland, has tapped me for my first ever blog meme! I don't even know how to pronounce meme. Meem? Mem-eh? Is that like a memo? Who the heck knows. I'm just plumb honored. And giddy.
Of course, this meme is called: Seven random foodie facts about me. Harder than it sounds. Well, here goes:
Seven Random Foodie Facts About Me:
1) I grew up being fed eating American cheese, Wonder bread, diet Shasta and Hostess products.
2) The first three grocery items I ever bought for myself, when I moved out at 18, were: real butter, French bread and a wedge of Camembert. I didn't realize that there was good wine that didn't come in jugs until I was 22 and went to Napa Valley for the first time.
3) I still can't decide which I love more: A Japanese breakfast with fish, nori, miso soup, green tea and rice, or a French breakfast, with fresh croissants, berries and a big cup of cafe au lait (in a bowl, bien sur).
4) I don't know how to set a formal table. This doesn't matter at the moment, since I don't even have matching place settings for five.
5) I almost never finish my plate.
6) My favorite meal is still about grazing: Olives, good cheese, fresh bread, hummus and a little salad.
7) I am made unreasonably happy whenever my ten-year-old daughter asks me to make her my tortilla Espanola or my chicken no-no soup.
And three bonus answers:
8) My favorite ice cream is mint 'n chip, because that's the flavor my mom always got.
9) I love to watch small children (under 5 ) eat a meal. Total focus. Total satisfaction.
10) I have never watched a cooking show. Never seen the Food Network. I don't have cable. And besides, I waste all my extra time on the Internets.
Stumble It!
What a fun blog you have here, I'm glad I stumbled onto it! I'll stop in again.

Love your foodie facts..but as to #6, I probably should take you back for grazing to 'Say Cheese' in Silver Lake- cheese, olives, salad with pears wrapped with prosciutto, etc. Ahhh yes!
(Is it pronounced "meem"?- lets research!)

"Grazing" that new term is going to be on my lips. I can't wait to use it. I like it a whole lot better than plowing through.
