Favorite Food

When I was in elementary school, we were assigned to make an About Me board. Each week a new kid's board was tacked to the bulletin board behind the teacher's desk. 

There were required elements. I had to lie on some of mine.

Who was my hero? Made it up.

Favorite sport? Made it up.

Favorite food? Made it up. I liked food in general.

But, now? I think, I've finally discovered my favorite food.

Garlic. 

I know it's not actually a food. It's a part of other foods. It's an ingredient. But, it's still my favorite. I have yet to find a garlic-laden food that I don't enjoy.

Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup? (That would be with no chicken or chicken stock in it.) Delicious.

Garlic Bread? Required at nearly every meal.

Roasted Garlic can even replace butter on bread. Or serve as an excellent pizza topping.

If a recipe calls for two cloves of garlic, I put in six. Or eight. Even better. It can do no wrong. 

By all rights, I should reek of garlic. Alas, I do not.

PS - I smell like clean laundry, thank you very much.

Blog Award

Sarah Belliston gave me a blog award yesterday and today I'm passing it on!

She said to be able to post the award, I should share 10 things about myself and pass the award on to 6 people. I'm lucky. Sarah received 3 blog awards on 1 day, so she shared 15 things and passed it on to 26 people!

My people:
1. Caitlin at Finding Walter Crick
2. Elizabeth Mueller
3. Alex at Magpie Writes
4. Lola at Sharp Pen/Dull Sword
5. Lynda Young
6. Melissa Cunningham

My Things:
1. I broke the same bone 3 times.
2. I get most of my jewelry when one of my friends gets rid of hers. And it's fabulous.
3. I am right handed and left eyed. (People are typically left/left or right/right.)
4. When I was a kid I had my friend watch The Princess Bride with me every time she slept over. I didn't realize that until we were much older.
5. If you ask me how to drive somewhere, I will be nearly incapable of giving you good directions. Telepathy is needed.
6. I ran a full marathon.
7. When I was growing up, I mowed the lawn with a tractor. Like a legitimate tractor tractor.
8. I read/listen to 3 books at a time. (Read on the couch, listen in the car, listen while running.)
9. I'm a sucker for a spreadsheet.
10. Last week I got retweeted to over 61,000 people by @thisamerlife !

I'm still excited about that. I heart This American Life.
