Cynthia, that was a fun read! I used to be guilty of going somewhere for dinner and looking for stuff that fits into my diet, but I warned them ahead if they were very good friends!

Pizza without cheese? What a scandal! Sounds like focaccia or pissaladière to me. Both yum in my book.

Susan said...

Great meme Cynthia... I share that pet peeve of yours too...I want to tell them, if you are on a diet, stay home, or BYOF... :)

Age 9? And that too curried pork? You were destined to be a foodie... :)

Thanks for tagging me Cynthia... this is a fun me-me. I'll share one random fact about me as a preview, I am a major procrastinator... :), so it might take me a while to get to it... Hugs.

Reena - :)

Nupur - me and you, that is why we get on so well together :)

Sia - look at how you laughing at me though (lol) But you see, we bond on the chocolate issue.

Susan - Lock me up for being scandalous :D

Susan - And you, you actually went and find the police... I thought you were my friend :( :D

Asha - see, see, Asha likes me, she understands. :D

Bee - I L-O-V-E you Bee, thank you! Tell them, let them know that I am not alone :)

I am waiting for the chocolate challenge and to see your meme.

Age 9, yeah, you see, you get me. :) Thank you.

Take your time. Hugs to you too.

Ramya - I know, you know, that we foodies are special people :)

Sreelu - things that make you go hmmmmm. I referred to myself as a special foodie and now I see you have special in quotation marks, what are you trying to say man? That I am... am special in a good way? (LOL) Thanks for dropping by hon.

Oh, Lidia is one of my favorites, too. She's so warm, so great, and her food is so good.

I hear you on the pet peeve. Mine is people not eating certain things that you offer them (of course, if it's for health/allergy reaction reasons, that's fine, but I'm talking about lifestyle choice-type not eating). Once a group was at my house and for the meeting I made a lemon-poppyseed cake. One girl, a vegan, wrinkles her nose and asks me, does this cake have eggs in it? Um, yes, and milk and butter, too! She wouldn't touch it, and I just find that rude. Even if she had taken a piece and barely nibbled it -- you don't have to make the hostess feel like a leper for offering it!

Gattina said...

Cynthia, yoo-hoo! I'm very much like you just except the last one :) :)

Melting Wok said...

It's great to know a lil' more about you here, Cynthia !:) Wow, that explains why you cook so well, I only learn cooking when I move here to the states hehe, still remembered when mom mailed me a letter with proper instructions on how to wash the rice and cook a scramble egg :(
