Tasty Temptations

Cooking has always been the one thing where, when I am doing it, nothing else in the world seems to matter. I can cook for minutes or I can cook for hours, but no matter how long I can cook for, I always find myself feeling more like 'me' when I am done. Plus there is no better excuse to drink by yourself than while you are cooking a great meal (All those drunken chefs out there can thank Julia for making this acceptable).

Me and a few of my friends have decided to create a place to share our love of cooking....check us out here.

100 Things About Me

1. I was born at home by a doctor
2. I was more than a month old before I had a name. I was supposed to be a boy...my parents hadn't quite prepared for having another girl.
3. I was named after a t.v. character (and yes, it was a very long 3 hour tour).
4. I've dyed my hair since I was in 7th grade.
5. I have one sister.
6. I love cooking.
7. Most nights I am too lazy to cook and I eat crackers and brie for dinner.
8. Or a bowl of cereal
9. I hate cleaning....I mean despise cleaning! I have no shame in admitting that, if/when I have the money, I will never clean my house again.
10. It's not unusual for me to leave dishes sitting in my sink for 4 or more days. (Benefit of living by myself?). Yet another reason why I need someone to clean my house.
11. I still eat Fruit Gushers...I love them. Even though I am 25 years old.
12. I have a senseless fear of asking people I like out.
13. However I am ridiculously confidant with people I have no interest in.
14. I left a pile of random shit (papers, pictures, a screwdriver, a flashlight, some flashcards, some removable bra straps) in a pile in the corner of my bedroom for more than 8 months after I moved into my condo. Guess I just never got around to picking it up.
15. Kenny Chesney is my all time celebrity crush. I would marry him or become his slave, all he has to do is ask.
16. I don't know how to ride a bike.
17. I've never been to the Grand Canyon.
18. But I've been to Australia
19. And Mexico (3 times)
20. And New Zealand
21. And England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
22. And France and Spain.
23. I have no desire to go to Burning Man.
24. I am scared of walking over bridges. I get totally freaked out having to walk over the gaps.
25. I lived with my parents until I was 23.
26. I have never had a roommate.
27. Snakes freak me out.
28. So do wolverines (camping in Yellowstone, I was freaked out the whole time).
29. However I have no fear of diving into water that may (does) contain great white sharks.
30. I've helped take blood samples from crocodiles.
31. I once threw a snake at someone (by accident). Hit them in the head...it was just a small water snake.

33. I would never date someone younger than me.
34. My sister is my best friend.
35. I am addicted to foo-foo coffee drinks.
36. REALLY ADDICTED.
37. I have made out with 4 people whose names I never (and still do not) know.
38. Through marriage, etc. I am related to Paul Revere (the English are coming, the English are coming).
39. I watch porn (didn't think I would throw anything dirty in here huh?). Not all the time, but on occasion (with or without someone special).
40. Honestly, guy on guy action is kind of hot.
41. I'm not entirely sure I count the first time I kinda slept with someone losing my virginity or not...still deciding, for the time being I count it but it's under review.
42. I've never smoked a cigarette.
43. I have smoked other possibly not so legal herbs.
44. That is the only illegal substance I have ever tried.
45. In a moment of desperation, I tried online dating. All the guys I was interested in, were not interested in me. All the guys interested in me, were losers. Maybe my standards are too high?
46. I love swimming.
47. Not so much in the ocean (ick, the salt, the waves, not to into that).
48. When I start a good book, I will not stop reading it until I am done (I will stay up until 3 am reading, only to pick the book up first thing when I wake up).
49. I will cook something and if I decide it sucks, I don't even hesitate before throwing it away.
50. I hate diet Pepsi. In fact I just hate diet sodas all together.
51. I don't drink juice.
52. I would make out with Catherine Zeta Jones if I could.
53. No matter how poor and in debt I am, I will always have food in my fridge and a bottle of wine in my pantry.
54. And cute shoes on my feet.
55. I love marshmallows.
56. I only like Crystal Geyser bottled water.
57. I take the best naps when I am passed out on a beach or in the shade, on the grass in the park (something about being in public maybe?)
58. I love the Dixie Chicks
59. Even more after they said they were ashamed they were from the same place as Dubya.
60. Vanilla is my favorite scent.
61. Except in lotions, then my favorite scent is Satsuma from the Body Shop.
62. I love my boobs.
63. Guys don't take advantage of that fact often enough (I don't wear the v-necked shirts and the low cut dresses for MY entertainment).
64. I hate classical music.
65. I always smell my glasses and bowls before using them to make sure they don't have that weird eggy smell that dishes sometimes have.
66. Artichokes are my favorite veggies.
67. White nectarines are my favorite fruit.
68. I think about sex more than most guys I know.
69. I like the wintertime more than the summer.
70. I went out on a date with one of my college teachers (to clarify: it was after he was my teacher, and it was my kayak teacher).
71. My middle name is Katherine. After my grandma, except her name is Catherine.
72. I can't sleep if there is a clock in the room that ticks. It drives me crazy!
73. I was born in Tahoe City, CA. I lived there until I was 4.
74. We moved to Reno and I have lived there since then.
75. We moved because I wouldn't talk to my teachers. Seriously, when they tried to put me in whatever grade it is that you are in when you are 4, I wouldn't talk to the teachers. They thought I had some mental retardation. My parents didn't believe then (probably a good call since I graduated high school with a 3.7 GPA).
76. I don't think I could ever live on the East Coast.
78. I've never had a broken bone.
79. Or Chicken Pox.
80. My favorite position (at least that I've tried so far) is the classic...missionary.
81. I kind of want to write a fiction chick lit novel.
82. Although I am pretty sure no one would ever read it.
83. Except for salami, I hate deli meats.
84. I enjoy reading erotica books.
85. Or modern chick lit.
86. My favorite book is Rain of Gold.
87. I have never been arrested.
88. I am running out of things to say about myself. You wouldn't think it would be that hard to come up with 100 things to say about yourself, would you?
89. I prefer sleeping on the right side of the bed.
90. I like snowshoeing.
91. But need to get back in shape before the snow falls because...yeah, I am so out of shape.
92. I love the Big Sur area of California.
93. I haven't had an official boyfriend since high school.
94. I honestly believe that anybody can do anything that they want to do.
95. I honestly DO NOT UNDERSTAND the whole issue of not using a name for your baby because someone that you know just used the name or your cousins second brother twice removed used a version of the name or whatever. It's f-ing kid, name it whatever the hell you want to.
96. I love soda. Or fizzy water...it's the carbonation.
97. I have never voted in an election. I'm not even registered to vote.
98. I own more than 50 pairs of shoes. Probably about 15 of them are some version of flip flops or sandals.

Ahhh, only 2 more...what to say, what to say...

99. I've never been in love.
100. And...I like to have huge cuts or bruises because it makes me feel cool. It makes me feel like I have an interesting life (like I am doing extreme things that can cause me harm). I remember one time I got a huge bruise on my leg from kayaking and I milked it forever...I wore clothes that revealed it just in hopes of people asking my how I got it.

Hi there! First time on your blog (I read the spotlight from Shannon).

I feel the same way you do about asking people I like out. I did once and he nicely turned me down...it wasn't awful but that was enough for me. It will have to be a SERIOUS, BIG ASS crush before I do that again. I probably would.

I've got a crush on someone from work now but I don't even know in the slightest bit if he might feel the same. Yeah it's been an on/off crush for a few years. Being single is interesting to say the least!
