RevGalBlogPals Friday Five: Matters of Taste

de gustibus non distbutandem est

I learned that Latin phrase before I took Latin (thanks, Dad).

But this Friday Five is tricky: I must hang out with a pretty homogeneous group. Five things I love that people around me don’t? How about a few that focus on me and Erik?

1. Nuts in brownies/banana bread/other baked goods: Love ‘em (not that I’ll refuse a brownie without nuts). My husband, not so much.
2. Running: I enjoy it enough to do it some. Can’t get my husband to join me.
3. Tequila: Margaritas are a truly great innovation. My husband dislikes tequila enough that he’ll avoid kissing me when I’ve been drinking one.
4. Camping/hiking: OK, I’m cheating a little bit here. I love these activities, and I’ve managed to surround myself with others who do. But I am always so amazed by the number of people I meet who seem perfectly normal and same until they reveal that they can’t STAND camping. What is wrong with them? I do still allow some of these folks to become friends.
5. Football: OK, cheating a little bit here, too, and switching the question around a bit. My husband loves to watch football. I say a prayer of thanks to God on Super Bowl Sunday because the season is over. I enjoyed going to high school games at my tiny little high school in upstate New York, but the amount of time it takes to watch a game on TV seems shameful to me, especially when you could just check the score after the whole thing is over.
