Its Sunday morning. I have had a cup of tea, set my bread dough for the final rise, made a chickpea curry, read NYT online and even done 50 questions from the PRITE papers. What else to do but take a food survey? I found it on Singing Horse's blog who found it on Liz's blog. This is technically vegan, but easily adaptible, so go ahead and have fun! Don't forget to link back to Liz's blog.

Comments
I heard the vegemite is horrible, but then, I've heard a lot of things were horrible that I ended up liking.
I'm curious, because we had a old tomcat who used to like munching on watermelon. The problem was he would take just one bite out of a wedge and leave the rest to you. One day he jumped up on the picnic table during a family gathering and took a bite out of each wedge of watermelon on the table. He did it so perfectly, people thought I cut them like that on purpose.
Our dog loved muskmelons. He would eat them, skin, seeds, pulp, Everything. He also loved papayas and corn on the cob. He would clean a corn on the cob so neatly that you would think a lady with perfect manners had eaten it. :)
