The Cooking Meme (What Is The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions)
I don’t cook, so I hope you’re prepared for any sort of insanity these questions elicit. If you’d like be a normal person answering these philosophical questions (with cheese), then feel free to join me.
1. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you’d like to do?
Smoke it?
2. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown?
According to Humpty-Dumpty it was severe paranoia that finally made him crack. What a mess for the King’s guard.
3. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you?
Butter is EVIL.
4. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters?
I don’t think my blog’s invisible rating is high enough for me to speculate upon the private lives of my spoons.
5. You hear: “Dumpling, my Dumpling, come hither.” The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing…..but wait, the windows are open. Why did you close them?
Because I obviously broke into someone else’s house and didn’t want to be caught by the black & white that patrols the neighborhood.
6. Do you need a recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef? Show us your reckless and wild side in the kitchen. Don’t have one? Here’s a recipe I made just for you: You will need a spatula, a whisk, a gallon of Chardonnay, a banana and a rump roast. What is the name of your dish?
Well, I happen to have some Bohemian in me, from the frater’s side of things. However, I’m not a cook and certainly not a chef. I think my wild side in the kitchen happened the one time I made a peppermint cake (true story, this) and dumped too much peppermint oil into the mix. Stunk up the entire house and I haven’t touched peppermint (voluntarily) since.
7. After dinner, the dishes are so dirty that the dishwasher refuses to wash them. What did they say to get in hot water?
I am the dishwasher and when I refuse to do the dishes, they get to soak in hot water. Does that really answer the question? Mebbe not.
8. Is your pot black?
My pot is generally dry and sort of a dirty green colour. I’d go and check just to be sure, but my brother took my pot. Thief.
9. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so?
Crazy Jane’s Mixed Up Salt. But, is it sexy? Is it spicey? I don’t know. I haven’t cooked lately.
10. How much crock is really in your crock pot?
If we lived down in the bayou I would bet that our crock pot would be 100% crock. As it is, it just tends to gather dust.
