All around the food blogosphere, many people have already blogged about this meme. It is a very subjective, eclectic and non-exhaustive list of foods as well as drinks that any good omnivore is supposed to have tasted at least once in his/her life. The creator of this meme is none other than Andrew at “Very Good Taste” in the UK…

I haven’t eaten and drunk many things on that list, so I guess that I’ll have to expand my culinary knowledge a little more in the near future!

Here what you have to do:
1. Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2. Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3. Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4. Optional extra - Post a comment at “Very Good T…

Our Six Random Things
1.
JS still uses her childhood blanket called “Blue-y” (because it was sky blue in color). Or is it B-louie? B-louis?

I have a corresponding red one, and my brother, an orange. JS is the only one who named hers. We have had these for, oh, about 24 years (can’t remember). Actually, all three of us still use these blankets. Hers has most wear. It is merely threads hanging on to each other. And it’s not at all blue anymore, sky or otherwise.

Our mother (aka “Mama” of cilantro beef, black pepper regime, giniling and fish head soup fame) once procured a replacement for Blue-y, specifying the brand of blanket and describing it in detail to her partner-in-crime in the Philippines. She even asked that the blanket be sky blue.

When the blanket arrived, it was blue-green! It is now sometimes referred to as “blue-greeny”. However, JS does not think it worthy enough to use.

2.
I get a headache when I play Pictionary. This is, of course, from getting overly excited while playing and shouting out my guesses. Yes, I also kind of lose my voice.

3.
JS was a vegetarian for a year. She finally converted back when, at a Japanese restaurant, she was forced to order onigiri (Japanese rice balls) as an accompaniment (ulam, sometimes translated as viand) to her rice!

4.
I bruise easily. NOT A METAPHOR!

I once got a bruise on my hip bone because I was carrying a stick of Chapstick in my pants pocket.

I once had a big bruise that looked like an orchid (all lime green-y with purplish dots in the right places). It was very pretty.

5.
JS has had plastic surgery.

Sure, sure, it was supposedly for actual “medical” reasons. (Her lower eyelashes were irritating her eyes, so they had to turn the eyelashes outward a bit.)

6.
I am an advocate of home clothes. Home clothes are the best!

(You know, home clothes! Clothes you wear at home. Not to be confused with pyjamas/sleepwear.)

Here are some photos of two recent orders I did this past week. One order was actually for a client I met through my blog. I got to know her even more when she attended one of my classes at Prep Kitchen Essentials. She was throwing a shower for her niece who was having a little boy and wanted me to do the cake and cookies for it. When she showed me the invitation I fell in love with the color scheme. It is so fun doing orders that have beautiful colors to work with! The cake was a variation of one that I made for my sister-in-law for her baby shower. Instead of a tiered cake, I just did a 1/2 sheet cake. The cake was a fluffy white cake with lemon cream and fresh raspberries and was covered in swiss meringue buttercream. Overall I was pretty happy with the cookies and cake!
