Unfortunately, this blog has suffered a minor setback. My laptop stopped working about a week ago and the pictures of my most recent cooking ventures were saved there. Yes, I know. I've already received the lecture on backing things up from my mother so I don't need it from you, too. In the meantime, I'll try to post some foodie related stuff for your reading pleasure.
I stole this one from a friend's blog which she took from
verygoodtaste.co.ukHere’s what I want you 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 here at
verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
