(no subject)
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday; you're all great <3 And it actually was a happy one, the first in a long while (usually birthdays just being ordinary days with a card or two, y'understand). So, hurrah :)~<
And now to amuse and distract you, another list. This one I found over here. I quote the explanation:
"The Omnivore's Hundred is an eclectic and entirely subjective list of 100 items that Andrew Wheeler, co-author of the British food blog Very Good Taste, thinks every omnivore should try at least once in his life.
He offered this list as the starting point for a game, along the following rules:
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.
4. Optional extra: post a comment on Very Good Taste, linking to your results."
I've used the same set of icons, because they're more fun than X's.
