Some things you maybe didn't know about me.

You all know I love food. Mmm, gosh do I love food. But there are some foods that I actually really, really hate.

1. Peanuts. Can't stand the smell taste or texture of these puppies. Don't know why, just hate 'em.

2. Cilantro. Yuckyuckyuck. Can any one say tastes like that really gross soap in public restrooms? Recently I did find out that this may be genetic though because I can taste PHT. Whatever, still gross.

3. Fennel/Anise. Barf-o-la. Can't stand it. So gross that I try to pick fennel out of my sausage whenever we have pasta and sausage dishes.

4. Dark chocolate. Call me crazy. Good, got that out of your system. Dark chocolate is a sad, sad waste of what could be otherwise delicious milk chocolate. Oh, I guess I should also include white chocolate but I think more people are in my camp about that particular food farce.

5. Pickle relish. Ew. Do you know where they get those pickles? You are one lucky sap. I'm not going to tell you just in case you do like pickle relish but it's gross, really gross. Oh, and that's not even mentioning the taste, which is equally gross.


I feel badly just ragging on foods and not telling which ones I love, so here are a few just to balance it all out.

1. Olive oil. Really good, fresh extra-virgin olive oil. It makes me tear up to remember it. I haven't had any since I left Italy five months ago. Sob.

2. Coffee. I get it, total cliche whatever, you will not stop my love.

3. Pesto. Pignoli e basilico, buonissima.

4. Red currants. Oo, how yummy are these little guys? So yummy! Pop them on your food it looks fabulous, pop them in your mouth and it's a fun little treat! Brilliant! Nice one, God!

5. Cherry pie filling from a can. Sad, so horribly sad that I love this. Even sadder is that I can and will eat it right from the can. But it's soooo goood. Try putting it on Oreos sometime, it'll change your life.

6. Daddy's toasted oatmeal cookies. What I love about these is that you can suck on them and they're savory/sweet, crunchy/chewy. Mmm.

Kay! fun times. BYE!

Weird Day

This morning I woke up freezing cold and in excruciating abdominal pain which persisted for the next 10 hours. At first I thought it would go away buuuut it didn't. And when I went to my Shakespeare class I felt so nauseated that I just couldn't find any humor in Puck's speech. It was terrible. I forced myself to eat breakfast first of all because (OVERSHARE ALERT!) if I was going to throw up I prefer not to dry-heave. That helped a tiny bit but I still felt shaky and just kind of floated through the day. Finally around oh, I'd say 6:30ish I started to feel better and came home from my class an hour later to have hummus and an apple for dinner. Where did this come from? No idea. But lets hope it never happens again.

In other news I started my collage for my "Much Ado About Nothing" project. I think it's going to be pretty awesome. Maybe when I'm done I'll post a photo of it, yah? I love making collages, anything crafty really.

Now is the time when I really should be going to bed instead of writing on mah blog because I have an early class. But I will try and post again soon! 4
