So I’ve been thinking about how I’ve been having trouble finding time to post lately. And by lately, I mean an embarrassingly long time.
Then I read this open letter to food bloggers.
And I thought, you know – this not posting probably has an upside. I could offer things, and everyone could win.
So comment on this post letting me know what you can’t/won’t eat or colors you like and hate or something quirky about yourself (and then I’ll drop you an email for a mailing address – don’t put that on the publicly viewable side unless you really do that regularly), and I shall send you something I’ve made. It might be food. It might be paper arts. It might be a rock. It might be some random tea from my cupboard. Who knows? But everybody wins.
That’s the plan at least. I’m guessing that even if I spread this around a bit, there still won’t be more that 20 things to make and send. I’ll definitely do the first 20. If there’s more response, I’ll do my best.
ETA (15 Dec 2010): All packages have been sent out, but feel free to still stop by and leave a comment.
Huh, I really should start following your blog more regularly.
Anyways, not here for the prize (though I love rocks! er, feel free not to mail me one, though, the postal fees are a killer) but I do like your question.
Beside anything I clearly know isn’t vegan, I think I’ll eat a lot of stuff, other than:
* pickles — I love them, but my stomach revolts even at the thought of all that acid
* anything that fell on the floor and can’t be or wasn’t washed well — 5 second rule my butt, that’s just nasty!
* mushrooms picked by an amateur — I never had this served as a meal, but I’m preemptively saying nuh-uh to food poisoning
* anything previously cooked that’s been left outside long enough to change its texture, or smell — ewww, srsly; also, doesn’t always digest well >.<
* watermelon — I haven’t had a taste for them since I was a kid; for a while I was their greatest fan way back when, then whammo, they’re icky and what’s the point, anyway?
In conclusion, there’d be a better chance of me eating a week old fried cheese sandwich off the floor than a slice of watermelon. Hope that’s quirky enough for you. 😉
Unfortunately I don’t think I have it in me to be entertaining about my likes and dislikes. I like red and dislike chickpeas, for instance. Not terribly thrilling of a confession.
I enjoy pickles, olives, things with cheese, bacon, unsweetened tea, long runs on the beach, tentacles, and my new Kindle.
I don’t enjoy mayo, eggs, peanuts or their buttered brethren, things that are moderately sweet, things that are very sweet, things that are very, very sweet, or cats who run around the house at 3 am.
Hm, I am also not very fond of the whole country right at this moment.
I love quinoa and heirloom caprese salad. I love fall colors and puppies.
Okay, fine, it’s my post you reposted and I am just saying thank you for thinking enough of it one way or the other to put it on your own blog.xox
