Tag, You're It! (Meme!)

Gretchen at Canela & Comino, a fabulous blog all about the food traditions of Peru, tagged me for being interesting-thanks! (Who knew I was so interesting!?)

Oh, and everyone has been putting up adorable photos of themselves as a child.  I don't have any photos of that era of my life, so I'm posting one of my wedding.  I know it's cheesy, but in a way, it's when my life began-I definitely wouldn't be writing this post if not for my husband.

Here are the rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their Blogs.

Sooo...it really took me some thought to think of these 5 doo-dahs...

1.  I studied Art History in college.  But then I moved to Mexico to learn Spanish, and I came home and taught bilingual elementary school for 5 years in Denver.

2.  My family at one time had connections to the mob!  A distant relative of mine was found dead in a bathtub sprinkled in Parmesan Cheese!

3.  My husband and I were married in a Ukrainian church in his town in Argentina, where there is a large Ukrainian community.

4.  I am a traveling fool:  I have been to Mexico several times, England, Ireland, France, Italy, Argentina, the Cayman Islands and all over the US.

5.  I have one guilty pleasure (the rest of them I just don't feel all that guilty about) : the TV show Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi Channel.  I know it's kind of silly-but I'm hooked!  Even more now with the GH International version-travel and ghosts-what could be better!?

Thanks again to Gretchen for tagging me-my 5 are:

Lydia, WhiteOnRiceCouple, Jaden, Paz and Sean!  Hope you all join in the fun.

Thanks Rebecca, for the tag. Glad you gave us the rules, so we'll have to behave ourselves on this one!

Thanks for playing along!
Parmesan cheese? Odd!
A Ukrainian church? I find that intriguing.
Have a great weekend!

What a handsome couple! Beautiful bride. I love this photo. You ARE very interesting, indeed! I'm afraid I'm the opposite, but I'll try to come up with something. LOL! Thanks for the tag.

Besos,
Paz

I love Ghost Hunters! Actually, that might have been one of my 5 things I meme'd about, too...haha! Don't feel guilty! It's lame, but hey- we Ghost Hunter fans have to embrace our geekiness, right? ;)

Hahaha- I just checked my post to see if I actually did blog about that show, and saw that you made a comment exactly like mine! We commented on each other's at the same time!! Hah! Hilarious.

What a wonderful blog - so full of great stories and wonderful energy!

Having spent a far amount of time in South America and Argentina - I love the pieces about food. I had my first mate as a teen - thought I'd died and go to heaven. I remember fondly BA's wonderful food - especially the wine and beef. The Dulce de Leche and Tomato - makes my mouth water. And then there's the tango...

And I saw my first Condor there! Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego are some of the most majestic landscapes I've seen - so reading your blog brings it all back.

Thanks for the lovely stories and recipes!
