I’ve been tagged by Swenglishexpat and American in Bad Homberg, so here goes.
1. My favorite sandwich when I was a kid was toasted peanut butter and Longhorn-Colby cheese. My favorite dinner was tuna casserole. Is that weird enough for ya?
2. I ate jalepeno poppers at least twice a week when I was pregnant. Haven’t wanted one since I gave birth. I guess that was my pregnancy craving.
3. I’ve never done a winter sport. Never been skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing, nada. I am certain that if I ever try, I will break a leg.
4. I miss autumn in Virginia more than any other time. I think next year I’m going to schedule my trip so that I get to see the leaves at their peak. I haven’t been there for autumn since moving to Germany.
5. It took a little over 5 years in Germany (or maybe it was having a baby), but I don’t care at all about hair removal anymore. (I stopped waxing my arms in year two and it has just continued since then). I suppose I’ll have some heavy duty personal care to do before we leave for the US this Christmas!
6. Johnny Cash makes me think of my grandpa, Elvis makes me think of my dad.
7. I’m happy being a stay at home mom. That’s something I never would have imagined being true before Oliver came along.

I am tagging: no one, since everyone seems to have done this already. Haven’t done it? Do it and leave a comment here! Did it already? Feel free to leave a link.

Whoa, where did you get those? Were they any good? You know how Sarah and I feel about TexMex in Germany — it’s so terrible that we resort to making our own (which I personally consider to be at the opposite end of the spectrum from the locally available stuff, but I’m biased). Did you have to deep-fry them yourself? Oven-bake them? Make them yourself, or happen upon them “in your grocer’s freezer” (who says that anymore outside of a commercial)?
Most importantly, will there be any at Thanksgiving Dinner at your house and/or what do I have to do to make that happen?
Dude, you used to wax your arms?! I have some hairy arms and I’ve never even entertained the thought of removing it.
random observation of the day: in your tag cloud, “charlie” is a lot bigger than “rainer”.
how did you do that tag cloud. is there any special software involved?
@cliff: You can get them in the freezer section in Real. They’re not great, just okay, but they’ll do in a pinch. It’s just 15 minutes in the oven (or something like that). Mmmm, can you eat jalapenos in your condition? I won’t be having them at the party, but I am making some Thai-Mex crossover salsa as an experiment to tide people over till the bird is done.
@sarah: Yeah, I was a serious hair removal freak. But the arm thing was the first to go. It’s a pain in the…er… elbow?, although after several years of waxing my arms, the hair grows in much thinner on them than it used to.
@rita: The tag cloud is from the Simple Tagging wordpress plugin. And I feel a little more free about blogging about Charlie than Rainer, since Rainer has work colleagues who might stumble upon this blog. But it could also be that only about 1/4 of the posts are properly tagged at the moment.
what a shame. i can’t use WordPress plugins on my blog. i guess i just have to wait till the admins come up with something useful. but thanks for letting me know about your software anyway.
@rita: No prob. Now I’m off to bed. I spent at least 3 hours coding today and accomplished zilch. Ugh.
