Food... Glorious... Meme?

I was tagged by Asthmagirl over at the Asthmagirl Cooks blog to do a food meme. On with the show!
Rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them)
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.


1. I love to cook, but I hate to do the dishes. And it irks me sometimes that I spend hours cooking, to enjoy the consumption for less than half an hour. I think that food should be a give and take relationship. Like, it took me 2 hours to cook it, so that food had better ante up with the 2 hours of delight that I should be getting from it.
2. My older sister refuses to try something new that I have made. Even if I have made it a ton of times, and everyone else loves it, she won't touch it if it deviates from her current food tastes. I made chocolate chip cookies for our cookie exchange at Christmas, and because I used vanilla pudding mix as an additive to keep them super soft, she refused to touch them. To my face anyway. When she thought I wasn't paying attention, she chowed down and found out the real joys of chocolate chip cookies done right!
3. My favorite food is lasagna, hands down. I will it eat every day, all day, and never tire of it. I currently use P-dub's Best Lasagna Ever recipe, and tweaked it a bit to my satisfaction. If you look in my freezer, you will see more than 3 trays of lasagna already cooked, and just waiting for the rest of my family to be ready to ingest lasagna, again.
4. I'm currently in love with a Cajun blend seasoning that I picked up as a replacement for crushed red pepper seasoning. Wal-Mart was completely out (yeah, wtf right?). This stuff has a sassy kick, and I've managed to use it in things just to liven it up. I think I used it on my eggs one day too, I'm totally becoming a seasoned Cajun whore.
5. I was in such a hurry to get the flock out of dodge, that I forgot to put a #5 in and had to fix it. Hmmm... there are certain things that I won't allow to touch on a plate. Just certain things, mind you. Like anything sweet cannot touch breads, meats, pastas.. well.. ANYTHING. My sweets need to remain untouched by anything else, and I won't eat another food if anything sweet has touched it. I refuse to try any meat that has anything sweet in it (like, pineapples (bleh), apples (bleh), apricots (bleh) you get the picture). I'm a meat snob, and refuse to have it girlied. Meat should be manly (and smothered in garlic).
Okay, enough about food 'cuz at this early hour it's making me hungry! Ahhh, five people that should be tagged about food. Kinda difficult, some people I know don't like to cook unless it's Stouffer's, so I'm going to point the finger at the following...
1. T-Bone (you saw that coming, right?) *He went to culinary school, let's find out how much time he spent in class while he was there, 'cuz I haven't seen much cookin' going on in my kitchen unless I'm doing it!
2. Sara *She's gotta have something up her sleeve!*
3. Shell *Just 'cuz I really wanna know her takes on food that she somehow manages to get her hubby to prepare.. I need tips!*
4. Tami *One good tag deserves another*
5. Ness *I chose her because I absolutely have to know what this woman does love food wise, when her pet peeve food dislikes aren't thrown into the mix*

Heading off to Sara's for the night, I can't believe I'm going to be able to spend more than 5 minutes with her! It's been over 12 years since I have seen her for more than just passing, and I'm tres excited. I promise to take lots of pics! T-Bone and I will be home tomorrow in time for the race, so I will try to upload them then.
