The Culinary Meme: The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions

1. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you'd like to do?

If I could put thyme in a bottle...
The first thing that I'd like to do...
Is to save every day...
Til my wrinkles do fade...
and then I would share some with you...

2. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown?

It depends on the egg.
The raw egg is a delicate soul. Too much pressure and she will have a complete meltdown.
However, the hard boiled egg has a much tougher skin. She may crack but she will never break.

3. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you?

I thought it was better than beating the eggs. I have to get my frustrations out somehow!

4. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters?

My spoons spoon. My forks fork. My wooden spoons are divorced.

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 anyone who calls me "dumpling" is gonna wish he'd bitten his tongue off.... and we wouldn't want the neighbors to hear now would we?

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?

Hiccup... I have no idea. I'm still working on the Chardonnay.
Maybe I'll call it Bump roast... or ranana boast... ummm.... charred broast?

7. After dinner, the dishes are so dirty that the dishwasher refuses to wash them.
What did they say?

We love it when you talk dirty ;)

8. Is your pot black?

No but my kettle is.

9. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so?

Ketchup.
Ketchup never rushes.
Ketchup is always smooth.
It takes it's sweet time winding it's way down to the neck of the bottle... and just when you think you can't stand it anymore... PLOP. There it is.

10. How much crock is really in your crock pot?

More crock than not ;)
