THE QUIZ
I have decided to spice things up here at chezJoel with a pop quiz. This quiz features the choices and pitfalls I face in my own kitchen. There are two pillars of the bachelor’s menu: oatmeal and spagetti. For each spice pictured above, provide the number, and the word “oatmeal” or the word “spagetti.” Scoring will be done thuswize: for each spice for which you choose the appropriate menu item, you get one point. If you also guess the name of the spice, you get an additional two points. However, if you provide the name of the spice and you are wrong, you lose a point. So do not provide the name of the spice unless you are certain you know what it is.

What are eating over there. Tsk, tsk. You poor dear! I can see I need to send you some pot roast.

I just know Lydia’s gonna win this (or somebody else who cooks a lot.) And that just pisses me off. If you lined up ten spring 2005 outfits from the Paris runways, I could get the damn things right. Spices however… but that’s a very appealing picture, I must admit.
Also, you are NOT an average bachelor if oatmeal is on a list where cold cereal should be. Get it straight. Apparently, potatoes are higher on the list than spaghetti, too. (Who knew?) Confess- you eat better than the typical bachelor. (It was all those years of green mashed potatoes and grey blueberry pancakes. You know your way around a kitchen.)

I agree with [h+p]. Spices were too good for my bachelor days. I’d go to Costco for the $5 5 pound box of spagetti, the $4 5 pound tub of margarine, and live off it for weeks.

Ew, gross. *shudder* I’m glad I was never a bachelor. Sounds terrible! I say as I dig through another box of chex cereal.

*pst* Joel,
Sand is not generally considered a “spice”.

Spice

sugar and cinnoman are the only things spicewise that belong on oatmeal. everything else goes spaghetti…and if you disagree…you are a sick, sick man;)

Lukas, D-rail, everybody, y’all need to put your savor saavy where your mouth is, and email me your answers. This thing is still very much up for grabs, folks.
(Sand is obviously a spice for oatmeal…if it’s not Scottish, it’s crep!)

I am the Spice Mistress. Fear me.

Still up for grabs? Did my e-mail not get through?
By Worldgineer on Nov 19, 2004
Yes, World, your answers are duly recorded.
