Ha! The title of this post was a google search term that lead someone to this blog.
I just returned from a trip to the D.C. area and I will have posts and pics for you very soon. But first, a MEME. I’ve seen this on several blogs so I thought I’d play along.
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.
4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.
