Cereal Quiz
19/20 because I thought maybe they were trying to be tricky and guessed Toasties on the Corn Flakes. They weren't that clever. I should have gone for the obvious. Cereal is my standby comfort food- especially for evening snacking. Life is probably my favorite.

@ holdthemayo - Thanks! But now I have to get the onion, the tomato, and the avocado, too, since I know they exist. Oh hell, and the chocolate dipped strawberry.

Have the pickle also carrot, corn, grapes, apple, fish, hot peppers, eggplant (don't ask) and a lobster trap with the lobster on the outside.

I have a pickle, garlic, grapes, pomegranate, orange, apple, banana, ice cream cone, strawberry, roast turkey, and various fish. I'd love to have an artichoke. Anyone know where I can get one?

We had some really nice pickle ornaments, until a couple of years ago when the cats decided the tree would look better on the floor at 3 a.m.

@Robyn...Yeah, the reindeer are weird but somehow amusing at the same time. They look like they're tailgating...behind the sleigh. :)

I bought a pickle ornament a little while ago. I graduated college from the north carolina school of the arts. It's a crazy little school, our mascot was a fighting pickle...thus the pickle ornament. It makes me smile:)
