Choose Ye: Culinary Capers…
Well, we’ve done food before, but I’m hungry. So let’s do it again!
SO… do you know the rules?
Choose. Just one of the options.
Both, neither? Nope!
(Click on other “Either Or” entries to your right to learn how it works… and read people getting really frustrated at me. Ha!)
CHOOSE YE!
Basil or oregano?
Peppermint or cinnamon?
Au gratin or not?
Salt or pepper?
Juice or soda?
Peach or pear?
Bran or corn muffin?
Rare or well done?
Ice cream or frozen yogurt?
Godiva or Hershey?
Pizza or Chinese takeout?
Soy milk or cow’s milk (we might consider a vote in for rice milk)?
Caramel or hot fudge?
Italian or Greek restaurant?
French fries or nachos?
Caesar or garden salad?
Steak or chicken breast?
Pineapple or mango?
Sausage or bacon?
Garlic or ginger?
Croissant or scone?
Broccoli or corn?
Lobster or crab?
Curry powder or chipotles for heat??
Creamy soups or brothy soups?
Potatoes or rice?
Cake or pie? (CAKE OR DEATH??)
Raw veggies or cooked?
Crepes or pancakes?
Coffee, tea, or me?

I love these Either Or entries when it has to do with food, one of my favorite topics :-)
Basil
Peppermint
Au gratin
Salt (Kosher, Fleur De Sel, and Hawaiian pink are all in my cupboard)
Juice (had to kick the soda habit a few years ago)
Peach
Corn muffin
Rare
Ice Cream
Godiva
Pizza
Cow’s milk, though no lactose please
Fudge
Greek
Nachos, but only if you’re in California or some other border state. Nacho cheese does NOT belong on real nachos
Caesar salad
Steak
Mango
Bacon
Garlic (no contest)
Croissant
Broccoli
Lobster
Chipotles, though I prefer using dried chilis for my heat
Creamy soups usually, though a good brothy one is hard to pass up
Potatoes
PIE.
Veggies cooked just enough to enhance the flavor but not enough to kill the texture or introduce any bad flavors
Crepes (my girlfriend thinks I’m a heretic because I don’t care for pancakes much)
You of course, followed by a cup of coffee
