.........cotton candy. the pink kind.

Here's one:

Tortilla with melted cheddar cheese, banana slices, cashew butter, and raspberry jam!

It wasn't my idea, but it was really funny to eat it. Not that bad, either. I feel like eating weird stuff more now

[mouse]

just discovered this one: white cheddar cheez-its & creamy chocolate (cadbury or symphony style)

I still HAVE to shoot yellow traffic lights (with my finger) before they turn red when I'm driving. It started out when I used to have a toy electronic Storm Trooper balster in my car, and I'd shoot stuff and people with it as I drove. Basically, though, I have to shoot each yellow light before they turn red or else they will have shot me (and I'll have to pretend to have been shot).

I also sing along with the car radio a lot, only I try to harmonize with it and syncopate rather than imitate the singer.

My dog has a whiney, Jerry Lewis-esque voice: "Hey laaaaaaydeeeeee, please to be taking me to the outside places now, I have to make pottttttteeeeee!!!"

[pollystyrene]

My dog sounds like Napoleon Dynamite in my head- God!

[quietmadness]

I have distinct and separate "voices" that I use to help my pets express their sentiments. My cats each have a voice--one like Marge Simpson, one like a little French prissy doll. My little boy chihuahua has a voice, very much like a raspy old man.

I love biscuits and bacon gravy! Loads of bacon in the gravy--slightly chewy. Or toast with gravy.

Ahhhh Mouse this is because your not Australian. Very few Aussies venture down the Marmite path. The few I know who have tend to either be originally from England or have English parents. I find Marmite to be to sweet. I love the salty goodness that is Vegemite on toast with butter. Not to much Vegemite either, has to be just the right amount. Also good is grilled cheese and Vegemite or, and this is strange even for here apparently, Cheese Vegemite and lettuce sandwiches.

I'm from the south and I don't really like grits. Cheese grits, maybe.

[mouse]

wow, periander, i never knew anyone to be divided about the two! i kind of think of them as one and the same. also bovril, which i don't think exists anymore.

god, i grew up on marmite. and it's so effing expensive in the states. my canadian relatives send it to me, bless their hearts. one time in college it wasn't packed right and when i opened the mail it was in shards....i cried for days.

marmite & butter on toast, marmite & peanut butter sammiches, mmmmmm.

[voodoo_princess]

crackers or crisps topped with whipped cream cheese and kippers...... oh YUM!

squid salad (cold salad from deli section, oriental equiv. to american cole-slaw (best way I can describe) but with slices of squid mixed in) YUM YUM!

peanut butter and choco syrup sandwiches on white bread SUPER YUM!

[periander]

hate for marmite, extra love for vegemite

[mouse]

ok who here loves marmite/vegemite as much as me?

[pollystyrene]

Eww, that's gross. I found a fail-proof recipe- I'll PM you....

cheezwhiz on waffles ((shudder))

[damona]

polly mentioned biscuts and gravy... i used to like 'em, not love them but like them until i ordered it at the local diner. blech. hockey pucks and wallpaper paste. i have not even been able to look at a plateful of biscuts and gravy since then.

for a snack last night i had garlic dill pickle spears and some extra sharp chedder cheese.

and i put cheezwiz on those frozen nutri-grain waffles. grosses my husband out so bad! but i've got the older kids liking it now too! ha!

[girlygirlgag]

I cannot handle hering, I grew up in a Swedish Household and that was a staple, but I can get down with some beet borscht and pickles, girl! I had beet tar tar in France last year!!!!!!!!!YUM YUM!!!

[lorewolf]

An ex-girlfriend (MaryAnn the LibrariAnn ) turned me on to extra-weak orange juice. I mean, like if you added 2 parts water to one part freshly-squeezed, and gulp it down like a sports drink. It's better than slightly-weak OJ, and a lot quicker to gulp than regular OJ. It's more like a variant on water with lemon in it, only especially good after exercise.

Oh, and I used to eat grits with Kraft grated parmesean and Tobasco.

[solitary_fey]

I'm a fan of cream of wheat myself. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts, because I'm so picky, yet that is my favorite breakfast... mmmmm I wish I had some now!

[cloverbee]

I freakin' LOVE sugar on my grits!!

[pollystyrene]

My boyfriend thinks all of the Jewish food I eat is weird. My dad's side is Jewish, so I grew up eating gefilte fish and pickled herring and cold beet borscht. He just about gagged today when I stopped at the store on the way home to get a jar of beet borscht, brought it home, chopped up some pickles (pre-pickled pickles, like small cucumbers) put it in there with a dollop of sour cream....oh, there's nothing like it in the summer, so cold and yummy. So good! I have gotten him into matzo ball soup- who doesn't like that stuff?!?!

I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning- yum!
