The Interests Meme - "Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile and ask you to explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along."

** If you want to ask me about my interests, I'll place my answer to your inquiries as a comment to your comment instead of making a new entry.

From papayarain:

badgers They're cranky, tenacious, antisocial little beasts. American badgers can barely keep it together long enough to reproduce, they're so pissy. Pretty much nothing messes with them because of this, even bears. They're also really cute.

turkish coffee Probably one of the least appetizing liquids I could imbibe. For the longest time, it was the only kind of coffee I could drink without getting very sick. I love how it's prepared, the thickness, even the sludge in the bottom.

fresh samantha I miss the juice company. I originally bought a Mango Mama because I liked the name and the picture. Odwalla, alas, bought them out, they are not longer good, but I did get www.freshsamantha.org out of it.

koi I really like fish. I love watching koi swim, I love how they look in tattoo, and I like that they'll nibble on your fingers if you get close enough to them. Plus, they're shiny.

rain I have a love/hate relationship with rain. I love it in the summer, I love the smell of it, and I love being out in it, but I hate how much it makes my joints ache. I love how everything looks blue, grey-silver, and green when it rains.

thai Both the art and the food. Thai art has a lovely delicacy to it and I love how saturated the colours are. Thai food? It's just damn tasty.

porn Porn has to be the single most amusing thing on the internet. There's loads of it that's bad, very little that's good, and a lot of it that is just plain strange. It is, pretty much without fail, amusing though.

sandalwood--love the fragrance...is my signature fragrance, sometimes blended with amber

kittens---how can you not love this?



haloumi cheese---one of the lesser known Greek cheeses. Per wiki...

"Halloumi (Greek: χαλλούμι, Turkish: Hellim) is a cheese indigenous to Cyprus. It is traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, although some halloumi can be bought that also contains cows' milk. The cheese is white, with a distinctive layered texture, similar to mozzarella, and has a salty flavour. It is stored in its natural juices with salt-water, and can keep for up to a year if frozen below −18 °C (0 °F) and defrosted to +4 °C (39 °F) for sale at supermarkets. It is often garnished with mint. The mint adds to the taste while some claim that it has natural anti-bacterial action that was traditionally helpful to increase the life of the cheese."



Recipe is here. God this looks good!

salmon---among my favourite fishees; halibut is close contender

genmai cha--the bestest and most awesome green tea ever (so long as you have a good blend and brew it right)

Again from wiki...

"Genmaicha (玄米茶, Genmaicha? "brown rice tea") is the Japanese name for green tea combined with roasted brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea" because a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn. This type of tea was originally drunk by poor Japanese, as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea; today it is consumed by all segments of society."



cooking---what can I say? I love to cook. I only wish I had more time, more money, and a husband who can look outside the meat and potatoes for dinner box.
