The Omnivore’s One Hundred

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I saw this floating on the web and thought I’d see just how diverse my eating habits are!

Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food – but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you don’t recognize everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

Here’s what I want you to do:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.

A New Do!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

So I was pondering a new look for the website..a little bit more baker chic. With the help of Jordan (OK a lot!) and his excellent graphic skills, my new look came to life! With some inspiration from my room.. and my love for Tiffany’s! Also a new name! After my LOVE for Sophie Kinsella’s Confessions of a Shopaholic! I cannot wait for the movie! Though I think the book will be better than the actual movie! They are just so good! If you haven’t read them, and have a shopping habit, like myself, i would definetly start reading the books! Thanks Jordan for all your help! =) xo
