I tag AZ, Autumn, my dad, Ginanne and Jett. (How much do you want to bet I will like more songs from my Dad’s list…)

Got this from my Dad, added a few at the end from my brother. This was a bit tricky for me because I am one of those people who will try just about anything even if I am not sure what it is.

Bold what you have eaten and strikethrough what you would never eat.

1. Venison

59. Poutine

61. S’mores – campers stable
62. Sweetbreads
63. Kaolin – the clay? Sure, it is used in some herbal remedies.
64. Currywurst – now that just sounds unappealing, and German. Not a big fan of German food.
65. Durian – I would try it but it is not like they import something that reeks that much…

95. Mole poblano
96. Bagel and lox
97. Lobster Thermidor – this sounds good
98. Polenta – I make this!

Ones my brother siggusted for the list:

101. Kopi Luwak – little weird but I would try it
102. Casu Marzu – adventuresome eater doesn’t mean insane.
103. Balut – no different then any other meat, I would be a hypocrite if I said no. I think there is an Indian dish made with goat fetus too…
104. Escamoles – cottage cheese ants… no.
105. Lutefisk – sure, probably wouldn’t like it though
106. Dog – why not?
107. Ortolan – it’s illegal anyhow.

My addition/question:

108. Jolt and a Moon Pie: My friend Rodney told me about this when I was a child, it was one of the first things I tried after I moved to the USA. I think the combination should be on some illegal drug list…
109. Corn Drink from Mexican street vendor: It had whole corn in some kind of liquid that I got when I wandered out of church. It was awesome.

I found this one Body, Soul and Spirit. For an online quiz, it is pretty accurate…

You’re the time of day right around sunrise, when the sky is still a pale bluish gray. The streets are empty, and the grass and leaves are a little bit sparkly with dew. You are the sound of a few chirpy birds outside the window. You are quiet, peaceful, and contemplative. If you move slowly, it’s not because you’re lazy ? it’s because you know there’s no reason to rush. You move like a relaxed cat, pausing for deep stretches that make your muscles feel alive. You are long sips of tea or coffee (out of a mug that’s held with both hands) that slowly warm your insides just as the sun is brightening the sky.

~~~

UPDATE:
March 4th – 6am

I might mention when I don’t get enough sleep for now reason and wake up grumpy and as of yet decaffeinated I am twilight. Of course on mornings like this I just want to snap that damn alarm clock plug right out of the wall because on mornings like this is it is bane of my existence.

Your exact moment of the day is always changing, because the sun never sets at exactly the same time. You are the romantic moments just after sunset when it’s still light enough to see your way around outside, and the sky is a blend of reds, pinks, purples, and blues. At this time of day, the light has a special way of making even rundown buildings looks like works of art. You’re like that, too ? you’re always finding beauty and magic in unexpected places. Not only will you wish on the first star you see, somewhere inside, you actually expect that wish to come true.

Have a nice day!
