If your friends all jumped in the lake...
Had a great filling dinner earlier. Oven roasted potatos and eggs over medium. Am I strange or do other people like salsa on their eggs. I should be more specific, Paul Newman Black bean and Corn salsa. The others just can't cut it.
I've always had some odd food quirks. When I was younger I used to dip my potato chips in Mayo or ketchup, later in a mixture of both. Which probably has more than a little to do with how I got to have a size 28 ass at one point. I also used to eat pickle and cheese sandwhiches {which is still less odd than my mom who used to eat onion and butter sandwhiches, either white or green onions, and had the breathe to pove it}.
I grew up in Western North Dakota, home of the church basement potluck, so that means I also grew up with open faced cheese whiz and olive sandwhichs {open face bun with cheese whiz and a green olive half in the center, complete with pimento}, something I've never seen outside of the church basement. They are actually pretty good, but these are the same people that also put cheese whiz on cinnamon bread {don't knock it till you try it. I won't eat it now, but it was good}. My brother would dip his fries in his milk shake, and my ex roomie would eat peanut butter and mayonaise sandwhiches almost nightly.
My dad's best friend would use ketchup as a salad dressing. I've also known people who can only eat one food at a time, or who can't have thier food touch. I've never understood that. I mean most foods are combinations of things, so they are touching anyway. {Granted some combinations dont' work}.
I was just thinking tonight how all of us have some bizaare food habits. I guess I don't feel so strange any more. though the topper has to be when we would go on milk breaks in first grade. This was before they had single serve cartons {at least at our school}. Milk was stil in bags in dispenser with a handle you lifted. Ours had regular milk and orange juice. for some bizarre reason some of the kids would mix the two. I still get queasy when I see the two on the same table.
Since everyone else is jumping in the lake I might as well do it too.
