100 foods to try?
This is my code – I’m veering off the course of the instructions below.
Red – Have Eaten
Black – Will NOT eat
Purple – Want to eat or would at least try
From Very Good Taste Omnivore’s Hundred:
“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 haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognize everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.”
If you want to join in, here are the rules:
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.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

year ago tonight…
It’s one year ago tonight we were at the rehearsal dinner then we went to Giggling Mackerel on OIB. That was an awesome night ~ hanging out with out of town family and friends.Jason starts a new job tomorrow in the field that he’s been going to school for and we’re so excited! Bad part is that he also has class tomorrow night so I won’t see him at all on our anniversary. 🙁
We made dinner tonight for a little celebration and hope to go out to dinner to celebrate once he gets paid 🙂 My parents were in town this weekend for the NCSU game (I won’t even go there about how horrible both the game & the rain were!). My mom and I shopped some Saturday then went to church and to the farmers market today. We picked up tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The tomato we cut up for sandwiches and also in a dinner salad. We baked the sweet potatoes for dinner and they were awesome! I really don’t know why I’d never been to the farmers market before! Oh and we picked up fresh banana pudding from the restaurant. Oh wow~ it was amazing!

Carolina Caviar
My mom & I made this over July 4th weekend. So I got the recipe from her to make for tailgating this weekend. Thought I’d share with the world since I had a hard time finding the recipe online. Here’s my mom’s recipe:
Ingredients
1 can of black beans
2 cans of black eyed peas
1 can of Mexi-corn
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 small can chopped green chillies
chop up tomato, red & green peppers & onions
approximately 1 cup Italian Dressing
Dash of Tabasco (optional)
Directions
Drain & Rise the first 3 ingredients. Mix all the above together. Best if it sits/marinates over night. Serve with scoops.
I omitted the onions (not a big fan), used corn with red & green peppers so I didn’t add fresh ones. I couldn’t find a can of green chillis so I bought & used 2 small cans of Rotel Tomatoes with green chillies. I’ll add photos later.
