I tired of 'memes' a long time ago, but when I spied this one on my sister's blog I thought it was interesting and I was inspired to give it a try, albeit with an emphasis on food. It's harder to do than it looks...

This just reminded me I want to try the no-knead bread!
ReplyDeleteNow do I keep it in the family and try this as well??
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I can see why this could prove difficult!
ReplyDeleteNot only was your list very informative about you, but I got some cool links as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be heading back to the Bay for two weeks in March so I'm going to see if Tante Marie has something fun!
And the no-yeast bread is high on my list!! 15 in a month and a half??
18?!
ReplyDelete...curious about types
A headline for a small article in tonight's Ann Arbor News said "Posh and Becks in Wax Museum."
ReplyDeleteI thought that was really cool, food bloggers imortalized in wax, until I realized they meant some other Posh and Becks I never heard of.....

I thought it was fun when I saw it on Beccy's site. I'm thinking about doing my own list related to food. At what age did you stop being a vegeterian?
ReplyDeleteMm, yeah, know what you mean about memes being tired, but this one looks like a good exercise - nice links!
ReplyDeleteWeight Watchers allows me 28 points. It still felt one step above a prison camp.
ReplyDelete15 loaves of no-knead bread since last month! Wow! That's some recommendation. I've had this recipe on my "to do" list for a while. I'm going to have to bump it up higher on the list.
ReplyDelete15 loaves of bread and 18 jars of marmalade/jam that's some list Sam.
ReplyDeleteHi Sam!
ReplyDeleteThe number thing is a really good idea.
I think I might steal it for my own weight loss challenge - if you don't mind! I don't like the idea of declaring my real weight to the world, whether in pounds, ozs, kilos or even Newtons!!
Sally
That's nuts. That comment was supposed to come up on your weightwatchery entry. Don't know what i did there! anyway, that's why i talked about the number. The number that you are starting at for you weight loss challenge! Meanwhile i am very impressed that you can remember exactly how many no knead loves you ahve baked since December!!
ReplyDeleteSally
Great Meme...I generally get tired of the too 'cept when I need a 'filler' article :)
ReplyDeleteFor every one who thinks my bread making is a bit crazy - don't worry - I haven't actually eaten 15 whole loaves. I started making them two at a time in Tahoe when staying with a bunch of 20 people for a week at christmas/new year which is why the number is quite prolific. I have aso made them them for a few pot lucks and parties. I just exeprimented making my first wholewheat one and it turned out great. So, Shelly, do it! And mum - only do the meme if you want to, never feel like you ought to, or have to do a meme.
ReplyDeleteMS Adventures... I love Tante Maries, unfortunately i now work too far away to make it to their evening classes. though maybe soon we will get a chance to leave work earlier, so we will see.
