Food Lovers

Here is something to do. I got this idea from Annechovie's blog.

I am supposed to bold the foods I have tried and cross out the ones I would never try. Turns out I don't know how to cross out, so I will star the ones I would never eat!

Kevin and I loooove food, as I am sure most people do. We watch a lot of food shows and our current favorite is Man VS. Food. You should watch it. It's great fun.
