  This week's topic is:  Favorite Foods and a Recipe to Share Mmmm...food!  Let's be honest, this list could (literally) go on forever.  You could easily subcategorize several different foods, whether by ethnic traits, sweets, savory, spicy, and so on.  So, to keep things simple, I'm breaking it down like this:  Things I Like to Snack On and Main Dishes! Things I Like to Snack On Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos Blue Diamond Rice Crackers (in a variety of flavors) Chili Cheese Fritos Hummus Dark Chocolate String Cheese Kit Kats Main Dishes Zucchini Bake BBQ...pretty much anything Fish Tacos (my uncle makes the BEST!) Soups...I love a good soup And A Recipe!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a way to share what you're loving in list form. The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover! This week's topic is:  Top Ten Characters That I Just Didn't Click With .  Oh...a doozy!  Here are mine: Rosemary from Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin I didn't not feel bad for Rosemary at all.  I felt her character was weak and so wishy-washy.  Ugh.  This could, undoubtedly, be due to the fact that the book was written in the 60s...alas. Emma from Emma by Jane Austen Oh, Emma.  My least favorite Austen character, and book, by far.  She's whiny, manipulative, and snooty.  She didn't deserve John at all! Celia and Marco from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern I just couldn't bring myself to believe or really even care for either of theses characters.  While I did like Marco more than Celia, neither impressed me too much... Eadly

Happy reading!
