It’s meme time, kids…

LJ Interests meme results

1. basset hounds:
   While I love all dogs, the noble basset hound is my favorite. They are good natured, loyal, friendly, stubbon, laid back (but capable of great bursts of energy when needed), funny and just plain sweethearted. Like me:)
2. cooking:
   I’ve been cooking since I was a very small child and my mom would let me help mix cake mixes and biscuits. I’ve cooked professionally in the Navy and at a wide variety of restaurants. Nowadays, I most like cooking for friends and family.
3. food:
   I love to make food and I love to eat it. I have very few food predjudices and will try just about anything. My very favorite foods are Asian and Mexican…but you really have to go some to beat good old American Barbecue (in all it’s myriad forms).
4. heirloom vegetables:
   I started growing heirloom veggies (mostly tomatos)a few years ago. If you’ve never tasted an heirloom tomato, you have missed something delicious. You’ll never again be satisfied with the bland hybrid types you get in the supermarket. Yeah, heirlooms can be ugly looking and they might not be as disease resistant, but they more than make up for it with flavor.
5. led zeppelin:
   Altho I love a wide variety of musical genres, I am above all a rocker…and the best fuckin’ rock and roll band ever was Led Zeppelin.
6. organic farming:
   I garden organically for a couple of big reasons: First, I don’t like the idea of spraying toxic chemicals all over the place, and second, I like seeing all the bugs, butterflies, birds and other critters that come to my garden. Yeah, I’ve got a few weeds and my plants might look a bit rough at times, but hey, I’ve counted 7 types of bees and about 10 types of butterflies and two species of hummingbirds!
7. pigs:
   Pigs are smart, interesting, tough, survival oriented and damn tasty. What more could one ask of an animal?
8. rock & roll:
   I was born in 1954, the year rock & roll began catching fire among white kids in the U.S. When I was 10 years old, the British Invasion hit when the Beatles came to America. About the time I hit puberty, the Summer of Love was starting. I’ve grown up with rock & roll. With any luck, I’ll grow old with it.
9. sex:
   My favorite indoor/outdoor sport:) I think I’ll just leave it at that, except to say that if people spent more time fucking and less time fighting and praying, the world would be a much happier (and mopre relaxed) place.
10. they might be giants:
    One of the most interesting and creative musical groups (tho it’s really just a duo) around. “Flood” was by far their best album.
