Just when I thought it would never get here…
TGIF!!!
I’m exhausted from this week. Tonight I’m unwinding with an Italian wine tasting and dinner with some good friends, new and old. 6p can’t arrive soon enough!
Wine-ing Winding down for the week, I decided to do a little “getting to know you” post. I loved this quiz Jess @ Healthy Exposures did… I’m copying her. 🙂
How do you like your eggs?
Any way but hard boiled! Qu-egg-sadilla–style is a rare repeat dish (translation: favorite).
How do you take your coffee/tea?
Black. Like my soul.
Favorite breakfast food?
This is the hardest decision I’ve had to make all day. It’s like picking a favorite child!
or
Peanut butter: Smooth or crunchy?
Typically I choose crunchy. TJ’s Roasted Valencia, so be specific.
If it’s homemade, it’s got to be smooth (mainly because I’m not skilled enough to make it crunchy).
I AM skilled at making it spiced though – Spiced Almond Butter.
What kind of dressing on your salad?
Oddly, I’m not a big dressing person. I usually go for the salsa or hummus.
More recently I’ve been diggin’ the Bragg’s Liquid Amino spray bottle.
Coke or Pepsi?
I don’t drink soda unless I’m on an airplane and really feeling run down. At that point I will only drink Coke (Atlanta, represent!) and I need a side of peanuts.
While scouring the ‘net for a pic of Coca-Cola and peanuts posing together, I learned that some people actually put the peanuts in the coke.
Have you ever heard of/done this?!
You’re feeling lazy, what do you make?
4 words: Whole Foods hot bar.
You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?
*GASP*
Pizza isn’t something to be lazy about! It must be the good, authentic Italian variety. If I’m feeling lazy I get it to go (they don’t deliver) from Antico Pizza.
It is best eaten fresh there with a 40.
You feel like cooking. What do you make?
Please visit: Sprint 2 the Table for more on my love affair with food/baking/all things culinary this topic. 🙂
Do any foods bring back good memories?
Some say smell brings you back. I say food does. One of my earliest memories is rolling out pie crust with my grandmother.
I also have many a fond memory of making peanut butter cookies and brownies with my mom and wrestling my sisters for the honor of getting to lick the bowl.
It’s serious business for my sisters and me.
Do any foods bring back bad memories?
Gin. Does that count as food? *gag*
Is there a food you refuse to eat?
I’ll try almost anything once… but I did draw the line a couple weeks ago at Escorpian.
What was your favorite food as a child?
Grilled PB&J. With Cheetos and chocolate milk. Total comfort food.
The PB gets all melty and the bread is so yummy-crunchy in contrast. Saltiness from the butter. Sweet from the jelly.
Grilled PB&J
- JIFF creamy PB
- Grandmother’s homemade muscadine jelly
- 2 slices of trashy white bread
- Land ‘O Lakes butter (salted)
Make sandwich. Don’t skimp of the PB. Butter each side of the bread. Toast in pan until golden brown on each side. Inhale.
Is there a food that you hated as a child but now like?
Picky doesn’t even begin to describe me as a child. Nothing green touched my mouth (unless it was covered and smothered in ranch). I didn’t like cheese. Or eggs. Absolutely no cooked veggies. No water.
If it had any nutritional value (except peanut butter), I wasn’t going near it. My poor mother.
Now I won’t drink a smoothie WITHOUT adding spinach or kale. Proof that there’s hope for anyone!
Favorite junk food?
Waffle House. Double your hash browns for 30 cents more.
Do you have any weird food habits?
See above comment about spinach in smoothies. Also see breakfast question for zucchini oatmeal. Or above answer revealing an odd penchant for WaHo.
Favorite dessert?
Anything involving chocolate and peanut butter. Together. In cake-like harmony.

Do I talk about peanut butter too much? 🙂
You can play too! Is there a food you refuse to eat?
Does food bring back any memories for you?
