Am I going to die now?<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOUR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?</span><br /><br />If I had the nerve I would choose green. Not kermit the frog green you understand. A nice tasteful shade.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">20) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS U HAVE LIVED IN?</span><br /><br />Pick some for me.

If you read it you will see. The less I say about it the better.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdWKUVWYCI/AAAAAAAACgE/rI5q4Jpc45Y/s1600-h/IMG_5929.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217233428588945442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdWKUVWYCI/AAAAAAAACgE/rI5q4Jpc45Y/s320/IMG_5929.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh hai, I am the food mill in Kitchen Chez KJ. When I heard that KJ had let that complete imbecile - the toaster - <a href="http://crackinggoodegg.blogspot.com/2008/05/very-special-guest-meme.html">answer a meme</a>, well........ I mean why him?? What makes him so special?? Big noting, two bit nothing special.... ‘I’m an actor’ my a...<br /><br />Anyway, after a bit of healthy discussion (okay, a few grinding discs maaaaaay have been thrown across the kitchen) KJ said I can do one too. Fortunately, Dolores from <a href="http://culinarycuriosity.blogspot.com/2008/06/ive-been-tagged.html">Chronicles in Culinary Curiosity</a> also tagged KJ for this meme. So here goes.<br /><br /><em>What was I doing ten years ago?</em><br /><br />I guess I was hanging out as polymers or chemicals or some such. I’m not into the past. I’m all about the future.<br /><br /><em>What are five things on my to do list for today?</em><br /><br />Well I generally sleep in until lunchtime. Then I’ll wander over to the tupperware corner. They always have a poker game going. You’ve got to watch yourself though. There’s a lot of odd mismatched lids that have gone a bit strange. They skulk around in the corners a lot. And they don’t muck around. I got in a bit over my head a few months back. I had to borrow off the spice grinder to keep things sweet. He always seems to have a lot of ready cash. I do wonder....<br /><br />Anyway, then I will rice some potatoes for dinner. Then I’ve got a hot date with the magimix. Read it and weep bread boy!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdVnX1SHcI/AAAAAAAACf8/EgQIbpJTmSI/s1600-h/IMG_5924.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217232828232768962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdVnX1SHcI/AAAAAAAACf8/EgQIbpJTmSI/s320/IMG_5924.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><em>Snacks I enjoy</em><br /><br />Well I’m a veggie man. Mainly potatoes and tomatoes. I’m well known for my light fluffy potatoes. I did some apples a few days back. Superb if I do say so myself.<br /><br /><em>Things I would do if I was a billionaire</em><br /><br />I would turn myself into a post-modern sculpture and live in the Louvre.<br /><br />Then I would commission an autobiography of my life. Of course the book would be turned into a musical. Naturally, there would be a movie version of the musical. Followed by a TV series of the movie, based on the musical.<br /><br /><em>5 places I have lived</em><br /><br />Well before I moved to the cupboard under the sink, I was a highly esteemed item in Cooking Coordinates - a select kitchenware store specialising in quality cookware and ingredients. I don’t slum it in department stores unlike some appliances I could mention.<br /><br />I was great friends with the Le Creuset range. We're both European after all, we have a lot in common.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdXLu5ZOlI/AAAAAAAACgM/QWEAy7wxRHg/s1600-h/IMG_5928.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217234552410946130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cQr9pd-yNYA/SGdXLu5ZOlI/AAAAAAAACgM/QWEAy7wxRHg/s320/IMG_5928.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><em>5 jobs I’ve had</em><br /><br />Well, I’m a food mill. I mill. That’s what I do? I’m a highly trained specialist. I can do fine, medium or coarse. I don’t chop. I don’t grate. And I certainly don’t mash.<br /><br />So there you have it. I'm sure you've enjoyed getting to know me. People usually do.<br /><br />KJ said not to tag anyone specific.
