1. I love the combination of popcorn and milk. No, not eaten like cereal, I mean a big bowl of popcorn eaten while drinking a tall glass of cold milk.
2. The only food I really and truly dislike are hot dogs. I want to like them, but every time I try a bite of someone's it makes me gag. How un-American of me!
3. I'm not that into sweets, but I love all things cake. Cupcakes, regular cake, whatever. I also prefer boxed cake mix and canned frosting to homemade. I also don't like most bakery cakes or cupcakes (too sugary or grainy).
4. I have never made my own bread. I'm afraid of yeast.
5. I have yet to make a successful roast beef. I don't know why I have so much trouble with this particular preparation.
6. I hate eating the same thing more then twice in a row (I'll eat dinner leftovers for lunch the next day but that's it). I will, however, eat the same thing for breakfast for months on end without tiring of it.
7. And finally, the real reason I don't bake is not because I don't think I'd be good at it, it's because I don't want the byproducts in the house because we will eat all of it ourselves. And I can't bring the stuff to work or send it in with SP because none of our coworkers will eat it because it's fattening.
And now to tag 7 people...
(I'm going to have to get back to you on this one since Colleen took most of the people I would have tagged. Thanks, hon!)
Hey there! I was never able to cook roast beef before, either, until I learned this one trick - put the roast in the crockpot with a can of cream of mushroom soup and an envelope of Lipton Onion Soup mix, along with the veggies. Cook on low. It turns out wonderful, and makes its own gravy. I know it sounds weird, but try it just once. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew all your weird food things. But I didn't know about the roast beef.
ReplyDeleteAnd popcorn and milk? Huh. I can't imagine that, but I will try it sometime. For you.
Popcorn and milk...
ReplyDeleteI saw this Good Eats episode where Alton Brown claimed popcorn was the original cereal and ate it in a bowl with a little sugar and milk...yes he poured milk on his popcorn...
Well, I tried it, and actually it was really pretty good! And I would definitely have it again!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas.
