Ten on Tuesday

This weeks questions make me hungry and want to cook or bake. Instead I will just answer them and daydream of all the foods I love. Thanks Chelsea. (Disclaimer - Not sure why my posts are all jumbled together today) 1. What is a food that you never thought you would try, but then tried and liked? Artichokes. I would never eat them as a child and now I love them. 2. Do you subscribe to any foodie publications? If so, which ones? Food & Wine magazine, Wine Spectator, and Martha Stewart (PS. If you don't want to spend the money on these subscriptions, use frequent flyer points) 3. What ingredients do you find yourself reaching for the most when you cook? Olive Oil, Cayenne, Butter 4. Are there any foods that you hated as a child, but then learned to like as an adult? Chinese food and almost any vegetables. Now I love both. 5. What do you like to eat that others may consider weird? I don't like PB&J's, so as a child my mom used to make me peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and banana sandwiches. 6. What is your weirdest ingredient that you've ever cooked with? I don't experiment with anything I haven't tried before. I'm not very adventurous. 7. Do you have any major food allergies? No 8. Is there any ingredient that you would like to cook with, but are intimidated to try? I agree with Chelsea, cooking a whole chicken. Last time I tried I was 16 and my mom was out of town. I think we ended up ordering pizza that night. 9. Do you bake? Not as I would like to, but yes. I love baked goods in the house. 10. If you could go on any "foodie" show to compete, which one would it be, and why? Man vs. Food. Not only do you get to travel and try all these yummy foods, but I think I could win some of those challenges.
