8 random facts about me
… and things you may not know …
- i once seriously considered starting a web site dedicated entirely to caesar salad
- the only autograph i ever bothered getting was from dancer rudolf nureyev
- in my crazy berlin-before-the-wall-came-down days, one saturday i had a one-night stand with a kurdish urologist who looked like a french philosopher
- my next grandchild is expected on 08-08-08
- in paraguay, one hangovered morning i was trapped up in a grapefruit tree
- part of the novel i’m working on plays in dahomey (present-day benin)
- my most traumatic musical experience ever was when i had saved up for a ticket to covent garden in london, terribly excited to watch debussy’s the afternoon of a faun – and i had to listen to tosca
- one of the best gifts i’ve ever received from a client was one of those little stuffies-in-a-can, rescued from a garbage bin
i’m doing this because it’s fun and because damien (remember him from the 10 cognitive distortions?) tagged me. now i’m supposed to tag 8 people. let me find some blogospherians i’ve never tagged before. hmmm ….
- raul, because he’s beautiful
- todd, because he’s kind
- lillie, because she edits
- gillian, because she has a cat
- catatonic kid, because she wrote about synaesthesia
- sage, because she’s a philosopher
- stumbleblogger, because i owe him a guest post
- zoe, because she knew how to spell ‘articulate’ when she was 4

Ohh, my first tag – What fun!
I’m with you on the Caesar salad, btw. I’ve had mega cravings for it this past week but finding just the right dressing is something of an eternal quest.

@jan thanks – i did try to pull them from different areas – and countries! – in my life
@catatonic kid – i make my own dressing, subscribing to the “creamy with a bit of lemony tartness” philosophy. the right olive oil is key. and i use a mayo/yoghurt base. lately, i have taken to roasting the garlic – can’t eat raw garlic anymore.
see, it still gets me going 🙂
looking forward to your post!
@raul – love the image of you sleeping on your sofa …

Definitely trying the yoghurt – great idea! I’m thinking probably the Greek natural stuff since density is a factor.
That’s the thing about olive oil generally – it can make or break a dish. Plus its combination w. the right vinegar makes it really interesting.
I posted mine, too.

i try to buy natural yoghurt, too. 2% is best, i find.
as for the olive oil, i keep coming back to portuguese olive oil. none of that lite stuff for me.

For sure, extra virgin from South America is buttery good. I tried one from Chile recently and it really hits the spot – it’s the incredibly low acidity, or so says a chef mate of mine.

Isabella,
I’ve added this to my blog posts to-do. It will probably be next as I’m working on a series right now.
Mine won’t be nearly as interesting and eclectic as yours!
