Vinegar

Hello! I got tagged! I have never gotten tagged before - you have to list things about yourself. I was so hoping the first time I got tagged it would be this 4 things one. Anyway - I got tagged by Dorkys R. from Dry as Toast.

Oh goodness. I didn't realise how difficult this was. The following things probably aren't true.

Top Four Wishes

• I don't get tagged again (nah not really :P)
• Nobody gets hurt
• More happy people (everyone happy?)
• Everyone re uses plastic bags and gives all their change to charity.

Four Places I Want to Travel To

• Spain (inlud. Sevilla, Barcelona -I'm going in March, Madrid and Grenada)
• New York (includ. Central Perk - yes I know it doesn't really exist)
• Ireland
• Mount Rushmore (+ be at the top of it looking down)

Four Careers I Want to Try

• Professional dancer
• Teacher
• Journalist
• World leader

Four Things I want God to say at the Gates of heaven

• Welcome!
• Remember, people in heaven know everything and everyone is happy
• Food to the right, leisure to the left, people straight on
• Have you ever read lovely bones? I guess heaven's a bit like that

(how am I supposed to know what God would say??)
I decided I don't like being tagged. It is far too difficult, although I'm glad I've had the experience. But now I have to put four more people through the same indecision and depserate deleting-what-you've-just-written as me. The lucky folk are:

• Meme at MemeLove
• ChicagoLady at IDKWYSA,TIML
• The Wife O Riley at Living with the Wife O Riley
• Robyn at Diary of a Mika Freaka

Remember - it is optional!! And now for some writing...

Inspired by IG, who has only recently tasted the pungent power of marmite, another fabulous foodstuff:

If anyone had ever tagged me, with one of those list 6 weird things about you things, I would definietly have listed one as my extreme adoration for vinegar. When I say extreme I do not mean a kind of adding vinegar to everything manicness, or a vinegar-flavoured icing weirdness but more in a if I'm gonna use it, I'm gonna use it way.

As everyone knows, vinegar (known in chemicular terms as ethanoic acid) is the pH3 product of the fermentation of ethanol (alcohol). It has been used to flavour and improve food since before biblical times and has multiple mentions itself in the bible.

My favourite thing to eat vinegar with is unquestionably tuna. I really like to eat 2 good cans of brained tuna-ib-brin, mixed with the tiniest dessert-spoonful of mayonaise (Eurgh! But a necessity) and with drenched and utterly soaked in delicous cold vinegar. It just has a lovely fishy chewy texture, with a strong kick of vinegar. Ah!

I really love that flavour. Unlike it's "friend" - slimy slippery mayonnaise - it's got a voice of it's own and that voice speaks loud and clear. A drop, a spoonful, a squirt: let's face it, it goes with most things.

My only worry is that vinegar isn't very good for you. Does anybody know if it's secretly dissolving my innards? You can never be sure on these things. While we're on the subject, is pepper (as in salt and pepper) bad for you? Is it unhealthy?

Anyway, I come to write this ode to the amber liquid because it probably will cheer you up. Also, we ran out of vinegar and now there is none to go with my fish fingers and chips. lemon juice just won't cut it.

When you're down, try my tuna fish idea (as written above): Lots of protein and good to wake you up too. Maybe combine it with something more substantial, and don't forget to brush your teeth well afterwards.

Give it a go! Try something new (or very familiar)and shake that vinegar bottle, shake it good baby!!
