Just when I thought it would never get here…
TGIF!!!
I’m exhausted from this week. Tonight I’m unwinding with an Italian wine tasting and dinner with some good friends, new and old. 6p can’t arrive soon enough!
Ah, Napa... how I miss you.
Wine-ing Winding down for the week, I decided to do a little “getting to know you” post. I loved this quiz Jess @ Healthy Exposures did… I’m copying her. 🙂
How do you like your eggs?
Any way but hard boiled! Qu-egg-sadilla–style is a rare repeat dish (translation: favorite).
How do you take your coffee/tea?
Black. Like my soul.

Favorite breakfast food?
This is the hardest decision I’ve had to make all day. It’s like picking a favorite child!
or
Peanut butter: Smooth or crunchy?
Typically I choose crunchy. TJ’s Roasted Valencia, so be specific.
If it’s homemade, it’s got to be smooth (mainly because I’m not skilled enough to make it crunchy).
I AM skilled at making it spiced though – Spiced Almond Butter.
What kind of dressing on your salad?
Oddly, I’m not a big dressing person. I usually go for the salsa or hummus.
More recently I’ve been diggin’ the Bragg’s Liquid Amino spray bottle.
Coke or Pepsi?
I don’t drink soda unless I’m on an airplane and really feeling run down. At that point I will only drink Coke (Atlanta, represent!) and I need a side of peanuts.
While scouring the ‘net for a pic of Coca-Cola and peanuts posing together, I learned that some people actually put the peanuts in the coke.

Have you ever heard of/done this?!
You’re feeling lazy, what do you make?
4 words: Whole Foods hot bar.
You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?
*GASP*
Pizza isn’t something to be lazy about! It must be the good, authentic Italian variety. If I’m feeling lazy I get it to go (they don’t deliver) from Antico Pizza.
It is best eaten fresh there with a 40.
You feel like cooking. What do you make?
Please visit: Sprint 2 the Table for more on my love affair with food/baking/all things culinary this topic. 🙂
Do any foods bring back good memories?
Some say smell brings you back. I say food does. One of my earliest memories is rolling out pie crust with my grandmother.
I also have many a fond memory of making peanut butter cookies and brownies with my mom and wrestling my sisters for the honor of getting to lick the bowl.
It’s serious business for my sisters and me.
Do any foods bring back bad memories?
Gin. Does that count as food? *gag*
Is there a food you refuse to eat?
I’ll try almost anything once… but I did draw the line a couple weeks ago at Escorpian.
What was your favorite food as a child?
Grilled PB&J. With Cheetos and chocolate milk. Total comfort food.
The PB gets all melty and the bread is so yummy-crunchy in contrast. Saltiness from the butter. Sweet from the jelly.

Grilled PB&J
- JIFF creamy PB
- Grandmother’s homemade muscadine jelly
- 2 slices of trashy white bread
- Land ‘O Lakes butter (salted)
Make sandwich. Don’t skimp of the PB. Butter each side of the bread. Toast in pan until golden brown on each side. Inhale.
Is there a food that you hated as a child but now like?
Picky doesn’t even begin to describe me as a child. Nothing green touched my mouth (unless it was covered and smothered in ranch). I didn’t like cheese. Or eggs. Absolutely no cooked veggies. No water.
If it had any nutritional value (except peanut butter), I wasn’t going near it. My poor mother.
Now I won’t drink a smoothie WITHOUT adding spinach or kale. Proof that there’s hope for anyone!
Favorite junk food?
Waffle House. Double your hash browns for 30 cents more.

Do you have any weird food habits?
See above comment about spinach in smoothies. Also see breakfast question for zucchini oatmeal. Or above answer revealing an odd penchant for WaHo.
Favorite dessert?
Anything involving chocolate and peanut butter. Together. In cake-like harmony.

Do I talk about peanut butter too much? 🙂
You can play too! Is there a food you refuse to eat?
Does food bring back any memories for you?
I like my eggs fried or scrambled. Both with plenty of QUALITY cheese 😉
What kind of cheese? I like scrambled egg sandwiches with brie on a crusty baguette. Mmmm…
I have never heard of peanuts in Coke… now that is a weird food combo!
Some of the foods I ate as a child were cheetos, doritos, square “fake” cheese (yuk?), and non-fat milk. How I survived I don’t know?? Oh and I used hydrogenated margarine. Pretty much an all processed diet. Cah-razy!
“Black like my soul” hahaha! Ohhh, emos. 😉 This was fun to read through. I love those liquid aminos, too! My dad used to have a lot of soy sauce with stuff and I introduced the aminos to him and even he hasn’t turned back.
I have a vague memory of my dad putting milk in Coke when I was a kid. Puke.
I don’t like blue cheese at all. Or really any stinky cheese.
Ewww… milk?!
wtf??? no mention anywhere of a chocolate poptart.
Dang.
Sorry – I did think of it for junk food, but WaHo won out. 🙂
I’m totally stealing this quiz from you! There is pretty much nothing I won’t eat, except maybe balut eggs or something totally crazy like that.
I love this! I’m a peanut butter chocolate addict, too. I couldn’t even imagine having that squid cocktail type dish arrive at my table. Blech!
Peanuts in coke at a baseball game. It’s like…what makes us Southern.
Is it good?!
I have indeed done the peanuts/coke thing. Love the coffee pic and comment– so much I’m totally ripping it off. If you’d like royalties, let me know.
I wouldn’t turn down a cut… 🙂
Yikes! Peanuts and coke together? Very strange. Maybe it’s a sweet and salty thing? When I was in Germany, the locals liked to drink coke mixed with beer which I thought was strange. I did try my beer mixed with lemonade though and that turned out to be delicious.
That peanut butter chocolate cake looks a little beyond amazing
