Ten on the wrong day

Saw that this Ten on Tuesday yesterday was all about food and I figured that I HAD to do it. :-)

1. What is a food that you never thought you would try, but then tried and liked?

Oh lots of things. CP has me try anything and everything.

2. Do you subscribe to any foodie publications? If so, which ones?

We get Cooking Light (more for me), Cooks Illustrated and Bon Appetit.

3. What ingredient do you find yourself reaching for the most when you cook?

Probably Pam? I don’t cook very much but when I make eggs on the weekend or cook chicken for lunches, I grab the Pam.

4. Are there any foods that you hated as a child, but then learned to like as an adult?

LOTS of stuff. I didn’t eat fish as a kid, but now I haven’t met a fish that I don’t like. Brussel sprouts. Beets. Turnips. Sushi. Duck. Veal.

5. What do you like to eat that others may consider weird?

A lot of the stuff that CP makes! All of my coworkers think that the head on duck/goose we had a few weeks ago was disgusting. To me, it is the same thing they can get at a regular supermarket just not cleaned/ sanitized for the masses. The duck/geese that they eat had heads and feet at one time so it is the same darn thing.

6. What is the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever cooked with?

CP could probably answer this a bit better. That boys eats anything so therefore he cooks with anything. Recently he cooked with tripe (nasty) and chayote.

7. Do you have any major food allergies?

No thank goodness. I can’t imagine having to give up peanut butter, fish, shellfish, etc.

8. Is there an ingredient that you would like to cook with, but are intimidated to try?

Probably meat and fish in general. I like recipes where you put everything into a crockpot/baking dish and cook everything for a set amount of time. That way I don’t have to think about whether something is completely cooked through or not.

9. Do you bake?

Yes and sometimes I actually make some good stuff. This past weekend I made Rosemary Garlic Asiago bread and it was DELICIOUS. I will try to remember to share the recipe because it EASY and yummy.

10. If you could go on any “foodie” show to compete, which one would it be, and why?

Any foodie show would kick me off from the very start so I wouldn’t even try. Now CP on the other hand…

-------------------------------------

On another note, while my triceps and my arms in general are still super sore, my legs are finally starting to feel better. I took Fuzzy Britches for an hour long walk yesterday, but couldn't fathom trying to run. When you feel pain just walking That I will attempt tonight. I'm going to chalk up most of this week to an absolute failure due to CrossFit soreness. I guess I am "tapering" for the Quarter Marathon race this weekend??
