Suckage and a Meme

So, we've already been over how much I suck, right? I haven't posted in over a month. To ease myself back into this whole "baring my soul under the cold, cold light of the internet" thing, I'll start with a meme. The 4 Random Things Meme.

4 Jobs I've Had
-Dairy Maid. In high school, I worked for several months milking two very sweet Jerseys. The dairy also had water buffalo, but thankfully I only ever had to feed them.
-Pet Store Clerk. Cool job, shitty boss.
-Archaeological Fieldworker. Traveling, living in hotels, drinking too much. Would have been awesome if I had been single and a few years younger.
-After School Director. Just ended this job recently. I miss the kids.

4 Places I've Lived
-Lanikai, Hawaii. Only for the first year or so of my life.
-Moyock, North Carolina. About as cosmopolitan as it sounds.
-Leesburg, Virginia. Actually a small town no one has heard of outside of Leesburg. Pretty country.
-Natchitoches, Louisisana. Home of the Steel Magnolias and all that that implies.

4 Places I've Vacationed
-Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Fucking awesome.
-Southeast Alaska. Some part of me will always want to pick up and move to Alaska.
-London, England. It's so great to travel to a new place when you have familiar friends waiting there for you. Thanks, Fiona!
-Hallein, Austria. Technically, I was working on an archaeological project, but the beer and chocolate said vacation.

4 Favorite Foods
-Spoonbread. My mom always used the recipe out of Cross Creek Cookery, and now so do I.
-Fried Chicken. I just can't help myself. I usually only have it on my birthday and I think that just makes me love it more.
-Peaches. A fresh, ripe peach is just about the perfect food to me.
-Beans and Rice. This is the ultimate comfort food to me. Wow, I didn't realize my tastes were quite so Southern.

I'll leave y'all (that's the fried chicken talking) with this picture from yesterday's trip to Valley Falls State Park.

I love Cross Creek Cookery! One of these days, I'm going to re-create that watermelon cake. I have a good idea how it was done.

Mmmm, watermelon cake.
Of course I got this meme from your site, Rosie.

Your list of foods has made me very hungry! I not only want fried chicken, I want it fried in all sorts of lovely trans fats!

Awww Cross Creek Cookery! We used to cook out of that at the Living History Farm I worked at in Gainesville. Cross Creek was about 15 miles away...I miss it :(
