I think i missed the chocolate loving gene
I think I just missed the sweet tooth gene as I rarely eat sweet things, except fruit.

I think there's a market for spud joint. With catchy names like "ciao bella" (Italian style) "spuds ahoy" (tuna mornay spud) and Jackie Chan (Asian style)
I have given this some serious thought.

I'm an Australian (or 'aus-tray-yan' as we like to say)
I live in south australia, the driest state in the driest country in the WORLD. Currently experiencing bad times with drought. I'm a farm girl. So foodwise, have always been surrounded by fresh food and produce. Want milk? Milk the cow. Want eggs? from the chook yard. Veggies and fruit? From the garden. A side of bacon? Slaughter a pig. Not that we did that too often :D
My background though is German/Eastern Europe, so food was heavily accented with potatoes and meat ^^ I'm vegan now, but thats my own personal choice.

I live with hungry college boys and mostly I hear 'you gonna eat that?' (cue staring at my food)

my apple crumble. The secret is huge amounts of butter and sugar ^^

Pieds Des Anges: I agree, I don't see what the fuss is. After eating chocolate I feel sick, bloated and thirsty

This will either make or break my non existent following.

Blog name: I like my bean mix

What it's about/tagline: I'm a vegan student from Australia (I know you all probably stopped reading after the word vegan) My mission is to find good vegan eats in my city, as well as post recipe and meal plans for vegans like me who like to eat cheaply but not compromise on taste.

keep your onion in the fridge for a couple of hours before cutting- it slows the release of chemicals which make your eyes water. Always works for me :D

for creamy and sweet i like a good ole fashioned bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon and dried fruit for sweetness

i've always associate pate with chicken liver. This sounds MUCH more delicious ^^

I just checked and we don't really have anything I consider weird. But other people may find these this out of the norm

1. Tofu. I'm vegan and its a staple
2. Tahini.
3. several empty olive jars filled with just the brine...i may need it one day!

14. white. red would freak me out

In regards to eating before bed: I have an extremely inefficient metabolism. so I just burn and burn energy from food to heat without transferring energy to metabolic needs, which keeps me on the wrong side of thin (don't be jealous, its excruciating) and i find that if I don't have a big meal at least 2 hours before bed then i get hypoglycemia during the night. I'm also along distance runner, so I have high energy needs anyway. Its all matter or individual needs ^^ some people would benefit from eating less at night. I have a big breakfast (after training), a few small snacks during the day and a good sized dinner.
