Tag - 7 Things about Me and Food

This is a new tag that I'm starting (I saw the idea on a recipe blog somewhere). The rules: Make a list of seven things about you and food. They can be unique, gross, little-known-facts, whatever. Then tag two people. Probably after a while it will just be consider-yourself-tagged-once-you-read-one-of-these, but lets at least try to play by the rules for a while. Here I go!

Seven things you may or may not have wanted to know about me and food:

1. When I was a child, I would eat butter. From a spoon. By itself.

2. I almost never follow a recipe exactly. I use recipes all the time though. I look it over, pick and choose what I'll keep and what I'll change, and go from there. Usually it depends on what ingredients I have at the moment, or what I think will work better than what the recipe originally says.

3. I collect cookbooks and recipes. It's almost a passion with me. I love those mail offers you get - preview our annual cookbook and get a free little cookbook just for trying - I always preview the book, copy out the recipes I can't live without, send back the preview book, and keep the free little cookbook.

4. I like Brussels sprouts. And what's more, Jeff and I have succeeded in getting my whole family to accept them. Now THERE'S an accomplishment!

5. My favorite pizza topping combination is and always will be Canadian bacon with olives.

6. Oxymoron - I LOVE food and eating, and I wish I could eat as much as I want all the time, but I'm on a restricted-calorie diet, and it's actually working. Explain that one...

7. I enjoy grocery shopping. Some people don't, but I think it's a lot of fun.

There, wasn't that fun? Now I tag Michelle and Rachel.
