Looks like Mindful Mom has arrived: We were tagged with our first meme on Monday. I wasn’t exactly sure what a meme was, but wise Anna from The End of Motherhood? told me the rules:

“Answer each of the five questions. Tag five bloggers you would like to pass the meme to. Have them link back to you and to this post as the source meme.”

So the name of the meme is Food Porn (yuk, I know). The numbered questions are from the meme, the answers from me in italics:

1. What food do you consider the best “date” food? In other words, what meal or food item do you think is sexiest to eat in the company of someone you would like to look sexy around?

Doesn’t matter. The sexy part is not what you eat but how you eat it.

2.What well-known person would you like to share a meal with?

Hands down the Dalai Lama. Although lunch with Jon Kabat Zinn could be fun and if you wanna talk neuroscience there’s no one better than Richie Davidson. (PS added - my beautiful and brilliant daughter read this meme before heading out to school this morning. In response to this particular question she said and I quote, “The Dalai Lama? Mom you’re such a nerd!”)

3. What does your perfect breakfast-in-bed look like? (Food AND the details, please. Candles? Music? Flowers? Hot tub? Dancing girls?)

My daughter used to make a big deal over breakfast in bed. The night before my birthday or mother’s day she wrote a menu and decorated it with stickers, drawings . . . you name it. In the morning she brought the menu to me in bed along with a flower from the garden. She always drew boxes next to my choices on the menu so I just checked off what I wanted to eat. Then she and my husband (and sometimes I would go down too) would head to the kitchen to make it.

4.What do you consider the best application of whipped cream to be?

There is nothing better than shooting whipped cream out of a can onto a big ‘ole piece of newsprint and letting your kids go for it. My son made whipped cream castles, forts, space ships and mountains when he was little. For children with sensory integration issues, whether they are sensory seekers or sensory averse – this is a very cool activity.

5. Oh-God-No, Biff, the yacht is sinking! You are sent to the galley to retrieve the food. What luxury food items do you snatch first? The champagne? The caviar? Smoked Salmon? Truffles? Chocolate? Or something else?

I sometimes wish I were the kind of person who could grab the caviar and champagne in a crisis, but nope, I’d go for the life raft.

Speaking of yachts, have you seen the Youtube videos put out by Courage Campaign to build awareness of the yacht tax loophole in California? Republicans are fighting to hold onto it, even with budget cuts for schools and a $16 million deficit.

Given I’m one of the new kids on the block I don’t have anyone to tag, but thanks to Anna for tagging us, and (Un)Relaxed Dad for tagging her.
