Foodie Almost-Fridae

So I'm going to follow Heather's lead and do a "meme" blog about food...

Ww is for wasabi that I put on my veggie sushi. I love it -- spicy and intense, but then it subsides instead of leaving burning death on my tongue like peppers do. Yum!

Hh is for honey, which is fabulous in all kinds of foods, both savory and sweet. I have always loved putting it on a slice of bread (preferably the end piece) and letting it soak in and get a little hard before eating...mmm...and it's also good in oatmeal, in salad dressing, in tea, on fried goat cheese balls, etc.

Ii is for ice cream...oh, how i love ice cream! My all-time favorite is mint chocolate chip, of which I received a 3-gallon container from my high school boyfriend when I had my wisdom teeth out. Now, one of my favorite activities is walking down to Sweet Occasions in Andersonville and getting a gianormous cone of whatever flavor strikes my fancy (Zanzibar chocolate, Espresso Oreo, whathaveyou...)

Tt is for tea, which is awesome. As someone who can't handle caffeine (I get jittery and experience freaky crazy anxiety), it helps me stay warm in winter. One of my faves is rooibos, but I really like anything that's not just silly fruity cheap herbal stuff (although I'll drink it, even if it is silly fruity cheap herbal.)

Nn is for naranja, which means "orange" in Spanish. I've been eating a lot of oranges lately, and I'm loving them, as I love all fruit. My mom likes to tell the story that when I was little, I used to ask for fruit over chocolate for a snack. Oh, but what happened to me? Now I like chocolate on my fruit!

Ee is for egg salad! I love egg salad, which I always used to make from Easter eggs that we'd dyed growing up. Just pull one out of the fridge (save the pretty ones for last!), mush it up with some mayo, a touch of mustard, and a pinch of sugar, put it on some bread, and voila! I'm in heaven.

Yy is for yellow cake -- it is unreasonably good, especially with creamy chocolate frosting. Makes me think of birthdays. Of course, what cake don't I like? Another favorite is Texas cake, and also German chocolate cake, my favorite by a lot. Brilliant.
