Food (redux??)

[blueerica]

While at work a few weeks ago, during one of those crazy chaotic days that just make little to no sense to anyone, the bosses wife (while in a tax-and-accounting-crazed haze) happened upon this odd little gem.

Around our office, we keep various snacks, like fruit, crackers, cheese. I watched her -- she was so into her quickbooks -- put a Wheat Thin cracker in her mouth at the same time she put in two green grapes. I started laughing my head off, and she said "Hey, that tastes like apple pie!" Still laughing, I walked away to do some work I left behind elsewhere. Then suddenly, I got hungry.. and adventurous.

And what do you freaking know... She was right... 1 Wheat thin + 2 green grapes = Apple Pie. No more, no less of any of those ingredients. I've tried other variations, and it doesn't work the same. The ladies of the office agree, and when we happen to have the ingredients, it's the thing to do...

Oh, she's one of those people.

A few come to mind that I don't partake in, but have friends that do. I think they are crazy but hey...

- I have a friend who will only eat chocolate chip cookies if they are dipped in mustard.

- I have too many friends to mention that dip pizza in ranch dressing. For the love of god, people! Don't do that to a poor defensless pizza.

Hmm, just thought of another of my quirks. I like to mix peanut M&M's and popcorn.

There we go!

I'm into the weird stuff. While most of it won't appeal to me, I'll try anything at least once.

I was raised, in large part, by my Japanese granmother who loved to eat smoked eel and mackerel, put fish flakes on her rice, who loved sushi, and we loved to grill squid. I was probably eating just about all of it by the time I was 4. Never shy with it, I suppose. So I guess the sushi thing never seemed that strange to me. Only delicious.

However, this macaroni & crushed tomatoes... WTF?!?! Just kidding! I've never tried that before, but I bet it's not half bad. My guess is that I'd probably want to add other stuff to it. Is it served warm or cold?

..And all of those are pictured on my yummy sushi jammies! In fact, wasn't it you who discovered the unagi on me? (on my jammies, I mean! I didn't mean for that to sound naughty! )

I, too love sushi! I'm a big ol' fan of spicy tuna, toro, yellowtail, rainbow rolls, and the fishy list goes on & on...

And at the movies? It's all about a tub o' popcorn, eaten at the very same time as Milk Duds! 1 piece of popcorn in the mouth + 1 Milk Dud in the mouth + an eager, drooly Ally = caramel corn. It's as necessary to my viewing pleasure as a suckie (Slurpee, or Icee, as the rest of the world calls 'em!)

I've never been into the combos or dipping thing. Milk duds with popcorn is good though. I haven't done that one in a long time.

I'm in with the sushi thing. I love oysters on the half shell, I could eat them by the dozen. Also love clams and pretty much any seafood. Raw or cooked.

Squid in Wor Wonton soup is delish. Squid in general is yummy, I love that chewy texture.

I've always eaten it warm. I don't think cold would be very good.

Yes, I do believe that it was me. Those were the coolest jammies!
