i was tagged by melissa, for nicky and oliver's the cook next door meme; it's the start of the weekend, so a little speed meme-ing is in order....
What is your first memory of baking/cooking on your own?
my first experience with an easy bake oven was basically "it's a #$%^ing lightbulb?!" i stalked off in disgust. and no, i wasn't 23 at the time, fools.

who invented the microwave?
Do you have an old photo as “evidence” of an early exposure to the culinary world and would you like to share it?
no.
Mageiricophobia - do you suffer from any cooking phobia, a dish that makes your palms sweat?
please do not boil me alive. i also would not like to be stuffed in a working pizza oven.

I like that you don't take yourself so seriously - love the favorite dish comment.
ReplyDeletehi gail! apparently you're the only one.
ReplyDeletenext!
No she's not! (Though my personal favorite is the Easy Bake Oven disappointment.)
ReplyDeleteonce when I lived in a house with no heat and it was below freezing outside for a few weeks I used to have these wonderful dreams that I was climbing into the back of the bread ovens at work and going to sleep.
ReplyDeletehi cathy--did you have the same disappointment? my cousin's kid had the same reaction to her easy bake oven, and refuses to use it.
ReplyDeletehi shuna! i should've tapped you for this meme, is it too late? are you interested? eeeee about your dreams though. brings a whole new meaning to "toasty".
No, the Easy Bake Oven remained an unattainable dream throughout my childhood, and I don't think I found out about the light bulb until I was playing with the real deal.
ReplyDeletei think i was more of a tomboy as a kid, but i really think ella's too sophisticated for a light bulb, and she's only six!
ReplyDeleteHi Santos,
ReplyDeleteWe both had our first with an Easy Bake. Amazing! =P
I ended up covered in chocolate goop posing as cake frosting...boy did I get into trouble.
Ha! What a grumpy meme.
ReplyDelete>We both had our first with an Easy Bake.
ReplyDeletegosh, reid, that sounds so dirty.
>I ended up covered in chocolate goop posing as cake frosting...
er, ditto.
anthony--you'd be grumpy too if you were trapped in an invisible box and wore stupid face paint. anyway, it's too difficult to be a silent meme.
Hi santos you tapped me for this meme!? I hope I can do it with my english! I will give my best!
ReplyDeletehi dilek! you don't have to do it in english--whatever is most comfortable for you.
ReplyDeleteSantos!!
ReplyDeleteyou would be the fist ever person to tag me for anything and I would be honored and I might even blush.
shuna--whether i'm "allowed" to tag you or not, considered yourself tagged! meme away....
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just linked to you from Eggbeater (where I was tagging poor Shuna for a meme!) He's right--your answers are fabulous. Too funny. Thanks for the smiles. Looking forward to discovering more of your blog!
