How to Annoy Me When Eating

[in no particular order]

1. Slurp.
2. Inhale deeply while you take a bite of your food or a sip of your beverage/soup, as if you can help your food into your mouth by breathing it in.
3. Make smacking noises as you chew, preferably with your mouth open.
4. Smack your lips after each bite, or when you finish your meal.
5. Move your food around your mouth with lots of liquid so we can hear it moving around.
6. Groan about the food's goodness.
7. Breathe through your mouth while you chew. [You are exempt if you have a head cold.]
8. Chomp down really hard so I can hear your teeth clash together.

As a general rule, make any and all noises possible.

[Eating is a personal action, people. Keep it to yourself. I don't want to hear about it. Thanks.]

Things to do every day

[Inspired by today's post on the blog Walking Around]

1. Listen closely to a new song or an old favorite.
2. Talk to a family member.
3. Go on a walk/run/bike ride.
4. Appreciate the weather, even if it's not your favorite kind.
5. Do absolutely nothing for at least ten minutes. ["Never underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." -Winnie the Pooh]
6. Eat a meal with someone you love.
7. Dance.

Five Weird Yet Delicious Food Combinations

1. Fruit and cheese. [Any fruit and any cheese. Some favorites: grapes and light mozzarella, green pears and sharp cheddar, apples and cream cheese.]
2. Chicken and apple sauce. [Add rice, and you have a tasty and well-balanced meal.]
3. Celery and cream cheese. [If you're craving sweets, put honey or raisins on top!]
4. Grilled cheese (or macaroni & cheese) and ketchup.
5. Green grapes and hummus.

Try them out! They may sound strange, but they taste excellent. I am currently eating a version of #1. Yum!
