random things about me and food
30Sep05
1. I love candy corn so much I routinely am totally full off of it in the fall.
2. I have superstitions about which nozzle to use in a “pour your own” soda things at like McDonalds.
3. On the soda tip; McDonalds and Chipotle have the best Dt. Coke in the whole wide world (like you could even know that)
4. Jon tastes plastic on lots of stuff, and therefore can’t eat it. Sadly his paranoina about plastic taste has rubbed off on me and I can sometimes taste it now.
5. When I was pregnant with Jaden, I should have been clued in that he was a boy by the fact that I only liked to eat: steak, potatoes, buffalo wings, and to drink Dr. Pepper
You got any to share?
i, too, adore candy corn. i like to bite the white tip off, then the yellow center, and finally, the orange bottom. they are the best candy in the world.
i cannot chew wintergreen gum. this is because when i was little, i had some in my mouth when someone offered me a potato chip. being a little kid, i didn’t take the gum out of my mouth. i just tucked it up in my cheek.
the salt and potato combination of the chip turned my gum into a gooey liquid. so gross! to this day it skeeves me out.
same thing with egg mcmuffins. i used to get car-sick when i was little. we were driving to ocean city, maryland and we stopped right before the bay bridge. my dad bought us all this new thing mcdonald’s was serving, called the egg mcmuffin (this was a long time ago). i ended up barfing all over my grandmother as we drove over the bridge.
to this day, i have a hard time with any egg, cheese and ham combination.
I hate onions and tomatoes.
French Fries are my impulsive food weekness.
chocolate is better than ice cream.
i hate soda out of a PLASTIC container- ick!
I’m a water snob.
mint gum makes me ill.
one day I will like chicken the other I will hate it.
i snack all day and eat small meals. I often eat right before bed.
I keep leftovers then forget to eat them.
I’m the pickiest eater I have ever met.
great, you’ve relegated it to a paranoia.
candy corn is wacked except the kind that has the chocolate instead of the white. even then, i eat the chocolate, and sometimes discard the rest.
it’s doggone near plain shugga.
joy makes the best turkey spaghetti on the planet.
LOVE candy corn. one of the best candies ever (i also love the pumpkins made from candy corn stuff.) Sometimes I eat so much of it I get lightheaded and feel queasy.
I love macaroni and cheese–from a box. the homemade kind is OK.
I drink nothing but water. Don t like other flavas mixin in with my food!
It takes me forever to throw food away. I will save a sliver of baked potato thinking someone will eat it eventually.
Im not a big fan of meat–especially cooking it. Well, cooking in general is not one of my great accomplishments. I dont have much interest in it.
Cant think of anything else right now, but this was fun!
i was vegetarian for 10 years and vegan that last year. i eat meat now.
i can’t eat orange marmalade or drink orange soda.
i eat nutella by the spoonful.
i can only drink dr. pepper when it’s in a can.
i love all foods that require reconstitution, especially mashed potatoes.
i eat grits with cheese, sour cream, and butter.
i ate my very first pomegranite last fall and now i am addicted.
i drink the pickle juice when all of the pickles are gone.
i could snack on sushi all day long.
i hate drinking water.
i love beets.
I am full off of candy corn right now. Actually, I’m sick.
A family recipe called “tea kettle tea” is made of about 1/2 hot water, 1/2 milk, and sugar to taste. Especially now that I heat water in the microwave, my husband loves to point out that this drink has nothing to do with tea OR kettles. I guess this was grandma’s way for something very basic to sound more exotic.
In family tradition then, my father made “Daddy’s Delight”, which is wheat bread on a plate with peanut butter and applesauce over the top (eat with a fork). With milk, this was a great cheap, easy, and nutritious lunch for dad to make for us. But he made it seem special.
Every now and then, I just need to have some “Tea Kettle Tea” or “Daddy’s Delight”. But I’m thankful my budget doesn’t force me to eat it every day. : )
You don’t know me, but i saw yours and your husbands pictures on flickr and then arrived at your blog. You both have huge talent, wow!
I would love to start scrap booking but I have seen yours and they are beautiful, thanks for inspiring me so much today.

1. If I could hook up an IV of Diet Coke and not get brain cancer and lose my entire memory, I would.
2. If I could eat a 1lb. bag of Reese’s Pieces a day and not become obesely obese, I would.
3. If I could rid the world of all cauliflower, I would.
4. If I could figure out a way to put 5 servings worth of vegetables into one EXTRA-LARGE serving of French fries, I WOULD.
Your pregnancy story cracks me up. I should have known that Rowan would be a fiesty red head when all I would crave was Garlic, Wasabi, and Spicy Salsa. I would put Garlic in chilli till your eyes watered as it was cooking. I would sit down with a fire roasted chipolte style salsa from Whole Foods and literally eat it out of the jar I craved it so bad!!! Any fish Wasbi crusted and pan fried – yum (I craved sushi like mad when I was pregnant…. just didn’t dare)
As far as the Diet Coke goes – Mc D’s has the best – haven’t had it at Chipolte yet…..
I’m addicted to the fizz of soda- diet, regular, whatever.
I love peeps (you know, the easter marshmallow candy) so much so that I can’t buy them too far in advance of easter as I CANNOT resist them. I love them fresh and I love them crunchy and stale.
I could pretty much eat cheese pizza for every meal, forever.
I gag at the taste of cilantro.
I’m not big into meats… not really a vegetarian, but close.
when I was pregnant with ezra, I craved ice– morning, noon and night. I became an expert on ice, had favorites, could taste differences, couldn’t get enough.
I often dream about red velvet cake but only bake it twice a year (on my birthday in december and at christmas time). I use a family recipe tht is very involved but just so delicious.
i’m with andrea on the pizza thing. i can eat pizza morning noon and night
i am addicted to russell stovers box of chocolate truffles. they are like heaven on earth and when i eat them, i walk around moaning and groaning with pure chocolate pleasure.
i am a candy nut. i could stick my head in a vat of jujy fruits and eat until i was ill. aside from the truffles, i prefer fruity/gummy candies to chocolate ones.
if eggs are not completely cooked (i.e. there is runny-ness) anywhere, i can not bring the fork to my mouth.
i will not eat a fruit or veggie if i even think it may not be fresh.
in my mind, milk goes bad at midnight on the day it says it expires on the outside of the container.
i have issues with most meat. i have to practically disect it.
i will not eat chicken wings or watch anyone eat them.
i luv anything pumpkin.
i could go on and on, but i think it will stop here. i will have to remember this post when (and please be soon) i get around to making a “about me” scrapbook album.
i hate homemade icecubes. they taste funny. i cannot drink soda in a glass, especially with ice cubes in it, at someone’s house; only at restaurants.
i am one of those people who goes to a fast food restaurant, fills the cup up with ice at the machine, then proceeds to dump half of it out. i have to have total control overhow mucch ice is in the cup.
if i have ever thrown a food up before, i can never, ever, ever eat it again.
if i see a “bouncy” in my chicken sandwich, i cannot eat one more bite. it’s unfortunate, too, because sometimes they are in the first bite i take, and then i have paid for an entire sandwich i cannot eat.
the thought of steak or pork being an animals muscle, and me eating it makes me instantly sick. i know chicken is muscle, too, but somehow it doesn’t bother me as much.
if i have any suspicion that chicken is at all, even the slightest undercooked, i will not eat it. i would rather it be burnt to a crisp, dry, and stringy than undercooked.
Where ya been, hon??
I hope everything is okay!
{hugs}
mmmm, candy corn.
my weakness is the cookies, most any kind…snickerdoodles are my fav.
i too hate soda from a plastic bottle, but i’ll drink it if it’s the only way to get my caffeine.
love the soda, but my body can only take a certain amount (since having kids), i get dehydrated and wicked headaches if i go over my limit.
i could live on cereal, fruit and bread alone, but then again i do crave meat sometimes (i could never be a vegetarian)
i hate it when my foods touch on my plate.
can’t stand cold pizza, or coffee.
love cooked veggies.
just thinking about spagettios makes me want to puke.
AHHHHHH!
oh, andrea! i forgot about PEEPS!!!!!
they are so so so so good.
i love them exactly the way you do: fresh, stale, whatever.
float them on hot chocolate for a crazy sugar rush.
and, you know…they make peeps for all holidays now.
of course, they aren’t little chicks…
they should be called “meows” or “boos”…(the halloween ones)
i LOVE candy corn! and i am with lulu, sometimes i eat too much and feel sick. it’s not autumn if i dont’ have some.
the thought of putting anything in the fridge without covering it TOTALLY grosses me out. sick sick sick it freaks me that food can absorb any odor from other food the refridgerator.
i don’t like to eat dinner till 8pm. when the good tv comes on.
i love cold pizza for breakfast.
i will try lots of exotic food and i love sushi but please don’t give me lima beans, beets, turnip greens, liver or raw onions.
i don’t like fruit flavored candy like skittles, starburst or anything like that. i only like it if i’t sour…sour patch kids, jolly ranchers, etc.
sometimes i like eggs and sometimes they gross me out.
i think i could live on chipotle, or any mexican food. (and ice cream)
I can’t buy candy corn. Every bag is single serving as far as I’m concerned…every time I eat it, I eat it till I feel like I’m going to puke. And the little pumpkins, too. I eat them in like 4 bites, always the same – bite off the stem, then see how many bites I can get top-down without breaking the bottom in 2. Then eat the bottom. Psycho! I’m sure of it.
I also eat bananas “around”…like corn, or else I have to slice it with a knife. I’m a freak, I’m sure. LOL. I’ve enjoyed everyone else’s comments on this.
As for pregnancy, with Averie, I wanted fruit and sour candy. I don’t know what that means. With Aislin, I wanted gross meat. Like hot dogs, and corned beef, and pepperoni, and stuff that’s been processed out of any resemblance to its original form. I don’t know what that means, either, exept maybe that Averie is definitely sweet, and Aislin is definitely ’salty’ a lot of the time.
