Hi everyone. I’ve been tagged for five different memes. So, let’s call this week, Meme Week, and please bear with me as I post the responses. Here are the first two:

Mona tagged me for the Too Much Information meme. Simple rules: post ten weird and random facts about yourself. At the end, list the names of the five people you tagged. It doesn’t have to be food related.

Also Ilva tagged me for the 10 Things You Never Knew About Me meme. This one is self explanatory.

As the memes are similar, I’m going to do a two in one meme. Hmmm… Let’s see what I can come up with….

1- I used to play the flute, cello, piano, and guitar — not at the same time, of course.

2- I’ve been known to leave the Christmas tree (it’s artificial) up, at least a month after the Christmas season if over.

3- I like to play Christmas music in the middle of the year (or any other time after Christmas).

4- I like tripe a lot!

5- My favorite place to watch the sunset is on the Greek island of Santorini.

6- I hate to shop (except for books).

7- I love to watch the 1990s Batman and Superman cartoons.

8- Like Mona, Fall is my favorite season.

9- I used to belly dance.

10- I like to watch people dance the tango. I like the music, too. A long time ago, after seeing the movie, The Tango Lesson, I took lessons. I thought that I’d get an attractive male teacher (like the one in the movie) and maybe we’d fall in love (like the characters in the movie). I was wrong. I got a woman teacher who always seemed grouchy and barely tolerable of my two left feet. I didn’t last long in the classes, but it was fun to try.

Okay, I seriously think this is really too much information AND 10 things you never knew about me. I wish to tag:

1- Mebeth of Hold the Raisins
2- CJ of CJ’s Food & Discovery
3- Eggy of Greedy Goose
4- Lera of MyriadTastes
5- Grace of The Kitchen Journal

Choose whichever meme you’d like to participate in and blog about it.

Now, on to the other memes for which I’ve been tagged,
