Tag You're It?

Okay, it took some research to find out what "tag, you're it" means but I think I've figured it out. Thanks to Rorie from Milk and Honey for the 7-meme tag. Let me know if I'm not doing this right!

7 Things to Do Before I Die:

only "7"? This is going to be hard.....

1.) Go to culinary school (preferably somewhere like the C.I.A.).
2.) Start an ecclectic bakery/cafe/store called Kate's Place.
3.) Have kids (at least one boy and one girl).
4.) Travel with my husband around the world.
5.) Buy my parents a house or something extravagent (I owe them that much).
6.) Own a pig, a monkey, a cat, and a dog.
7.) Star in a Broadway play or a Sundance film.

7 Things I Cannot Do:

1.) Post my damn picture to the "about me" section of my blog.
2.) I absolutely cannot refrain from over planning my trips.
3.) Miss my favorite tv shows (I must get a DVR!).
4.) Go on a low-carb diet (or any diet for that matter).
5.) Get rid of the ten pairs (at least) of shoes that I never wear.
6.) Understand the inner workings of a car no matter how many times my husband explains it.
7.) Pay full price for anything.

7 Things that Attract Me to Blogging:

1.) Knowing that I'm not the only one obsessed with food and cooking!
2.) Taking pictures of food. I had no idea it was so much fun!
3.) Becoming a nerd--I'm proud of myself every time I learn something new with html.
4.) Meeting new people with similar interests.
5.) Always having something new and interesting to read.
6.) The diary aspect: it's a reference manual on dishes I've made (well, since Dec. '05).
7.) The good kind of pressure that keeps me cooking new things more often.

7 Things I Say Most Often:

1.) "gourmetish": hence the name of my blog.
2.) I love you (Yes, we're mushy in my household. Don't worry, I won't write our pet names.)
3.) My husband's SSN: I've had to deal with WAY to many customer service issues lately.
4.) Argh!
5.) I want a fill in the blank (baby/cat/dog/pig) !
6.) I'm hungry!
7.) We don't have any food in the house! (which is never really true.)


7 Books I Love:

1.) One Hundred Years of Solitude (my favorite)
2.) The Making of a Chef
3.) The Soul of a Chef
4.) Catcher in the Rye
5.) Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray
6.) Cyrano de Bergerac (en Francais)
7.) The Griffin and Sabine series by Nick Bantock


7 Movies/DVDs I Watch Over and Over Again:

I rarely watch movies more than once. These are the movies that I watch over and over but are not neccessarily a reflection on my taste in movies...

1.) The Princess Bride
2.) Sleepless in Seattle
3.) Any Molly Ringwald movie (yes, I'm a product of the 80's)
4.) Finding Nemo (We quote this way too often in my house)
5.) Futurama dvds
6.) My Girl (on tv)
7.) any Doris Day movie
