For today's post, I am offering a one-time glimpse into the dazzling world of our family's food habits. I don't think I need to tell you that opportunities like this don't come along very often, and should be savored like fine wine and smelly cheese. At moments like these, I am simply overcome by what I am willing lay bare for your prurient curiosity. Look away while I collect myself, please.

@Cheri: WOT? Why is your head exploding?
Filing away, love.
Thank you for the interesting glimpse into 'things I did not know about you'. Except for the chunky cheese part and the black currant part :).
Ick -- black licorice! Isn't it funny how something can be one person's delicious treat and another person's "get-that-out-of-my-mouth" ickiness? :) Lix
@Lix: Yes dear, methinks that is very funny. :)
Love this post!
Joy and Jarrah have so much in common! Of course, it could be their age!
My least favorite foods:
Eggs-any type
Brussel Sprouts.
Even though I am a veggie, I do not include meat, as it would still taste better than those two choices.

Mary
p.s. I like pineapple pizza, too.
