Hey Jake, I totally remember the asian theme and that is where sweet n sour was born. I was a BBQ fan before that now it’s sweet n sour all the way!

1) My 4th grade teacher, Ms. Smith, for so, so many reasons. She’s one of the reasons that I became a teacher. Ms. Taylor-McGriff, by 7th and 8th grade history teacher. She just made history come alive for us; I still remember some of the stuff that I learned in her class, and it’s been 12 years. Finally, Mrs. Covington, my 10th grade history teacher. The woman knew enough anecdotes to fill a book, plus, after studying Napoleon, she took us to Waterloo. (the real one, in Belgium- we lived in France it wasn’t THAT far-fetched)
5. I miss BBQ sauce. They don’t serve it in China. So yes, Tuffy, the sauces and foods in each country are different. (There are some similarities- I have yet to go to a country without nuggets, or the Big Mac) But the menus all include some “regional” foods, with some truly disgusting results. (anyone up for a taro pie? Like the apple pie- which they serve, thank goodness, but with TARO in it.) Hmmm, that could be a quiz, spot the real McDonald’s food. Anyway, the only sauces I’ve seen here are the sweet and sour, and another spicy one that I’ve never tried.

1. My 9th grade history teacher, Mr. Booker, my high school choir teacher Mr. Anderson, and Dr. Van De Graaff who taught me anatomy up at Weber State. All three of them were awesome teachers.

3. Terrace Pharmacy in Ogden, UT. They have really fast service, friendly people, and a free delivery service as well. Is my plug for them tainted because I work there? They were awesome before I started…

6. If you were in a rock band, what would the name of your band be?

1) I can’t narrow it down to just one! There’s my high school band director, my physics teacher, and right now, my acting teacher, Brenda. She is freakin awesome! She is crazy, but she loves us, and we love her. The names I have picked out (for the kids I will never have) are all derivatives of names of influential people in my life. …Except River Spirit. Oh, daughter #3, I hope for your sake you never exist… But anyway, all three of them are included.

2) Actually, it’s part of the show I’m working right now, I’m on wardrobe crew for a show at my school, and me and the other girl nail that quick change every time! Love it. Only one more night, but I’m kind of glad, the green room that I used to love is starting to feel like a dark, lonely quiet jail cell, where the occasional snacks and my notebook, light, and pen are contraband and could be confiscated at any moment. Sleep. I need sleeeep.

3) I know I’ve gotten honey, and this made me think, how would McNuggets taste dipped in syrup? But I’m mostly a hot mustard girl myself.

3. 2nd Street Bakery, Sweetwater Coffee Company (organic roaster), and Pascal’s Coffee, all in Gainesville, Florida. Also Rocky’s Mexican Italian Villa (I couldn’t make this up) in Orange Lake.

5) Name the wives of Henry XII in 4 minutes, Name all the James Bond movies in 5 minutes, Name all 50 states in 12 minutes (I figured that those extra two minutes would be useful)
6) Itâ€™s surprising that so few people would have suggestions for future post ideas. But that just means that the odds are in my favor!
How about best vacation memory
I believe that August is the only month to have no federal holidays. What do you think should be a new holiday?

1. My high school German teacher. I really learned a lot from her, and thanks to that knowledge base, I’m now teaching German myself.

2. I haven’t seen many actual professional plays, so all mine involve my high school drama experience :).

3. Sarah Jane Yarn Shoppe in Fort Wayne, IN! I just found it and it’s a great little place…and the ladies who own it are great.

5. Name all the Beatles’ albums in 2 minutes…or if you want to get even trickier, name the Beatles’ number 1 hits in 5.

I have been thinking about an art prof from undergrad alot lately, Eric Weller. He always told us to write down our first 10 ideas, throw them away, and start with the 11th idea. He really challenged me to go beyond the obvious solutions to problems, artistic and otherwise.

I’ve never had honey with McNuggets, but so many people seem to be recommending it I may have to try it out on my way home. BTW, to Jack – I’m still a ‘peeler.’ Don’t know how or why it started, but I’m definitely a breading-first kind of McEater.

They almost moved the New England Patriots to Connecticut. Fortunately, the deal fell through and it never happened. Whew!

I always got honey with my mcnuggets.

Quiz: Name the 12 apostles in the New Testament. Name the 5 Americans killed in the Boston Massacre. Name the 4 Beach Boys songs that hit number one in the Billboard charts.
