Yow!
Amy, I'd say that's completely definitive. Couldn't add another item.
(Well, I might swap out #25 for "Eat with someone who makes you feel bad..." oh, right... You covered that in #10. OK, then "someone who makes you feel bad about HOW you eat.")
Of course, now the additions to your list will pour in.
:)

Once I started they just kept coming...but I think I got the main ones. My husband disagrees on the sharing point, despite sharing with me all the time or perhaps because of it?

26? Put Tobasco on everything
27? banish salt
28? consider food the enemy
Amy! I love this! It's very funny! You are silly.
And now I want to eat doughnuts for dinner.

My DH, puts ketchup on his rice...(Even though we have soy sauce at arm's length.)
I surrender...
Now I don't know whether I can wait to the end of ELC, to open up that box of Marcona Almonds from Spain. The box says, "Satisfaction Guaranteed". It's a sure thing.
You crack me up.....:-)
Shuna, gonna share? :-)
Tootles.

so besides the fact that your list is a list of contradictions, are you a glutton or just someone with no standards or worries about anything?
5/11/2006 3:49 PM
No. I'm not a glutton. Nor do I have "no standards or worries about anything". The point of the list was a plea for moderation in all things; an observation that going to extremes in either direction tends to take the fun out of food.

hi Amy - I think I agree with all of them except # 18. As a society, I think we're really too far out of touch on this particular issue. As a mom, dining with screaming (or crying) children is definitely a big turnoff, but hard to achieve sometimes (esp when they're really young -hey you gotta eat). I think, perhaps, you could cover all these with "mindful eating" - can't really argue with that!

Ok, a drive-thru exception is ok with me and overcooked pasta is definitely NO FUN!
5/11/2006 8:47 PM
I'm late to the game on this one, but you know how I feel on #23... Love it!!!

Lots of ... um ... food for thought ... as was the 2005 piece on buying / eating locally.
