So far, I've been doing something very different on FoodBuzz from what I usually do on any other social networking site - I've been friending people I don't actually know. I started with just the Vinography & Umami folks, but as others have been requesting to connect with me, I've been accepting pretty much everyone - something about all that drool-inducing shared goodness must be making me feel like it's a big communal meal or something. Maybe they should change the name to Convivium.
While browsing around for a recipe for all those massive, gorgeous habaneros our little teeny bush has borne us, I came across this blog post which looked like fun so I thought I'd share (source: http://saucyjoes.blogspot.com/2008/08/are-you-omnivore.html).
ARE YOU AN OMNIVORE?
How the Omnivore's 100 Works:
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. (don't know how to do strikeout on this thing, so used red instead)
4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.
