			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, so I got tagged a while ago by my friend <a href="http://asifyoucare.wordpress.com">Lisa</a>.  I&#8217;ve never been tagged before, never done a meme before, but here we go. I&#8217;ll answer the questions, but I don&#8217;t know about the last part, though, tagging 5 people&#8230; I&#8217;m usually a completely anonymous lurker on most blogs I read.  And sorry, it&#8217;s going to be sort of brief&#8230;. I want to get to my quilt tonight too. Then I&#8217;ll have pictures to share. <img src='http://www.blether.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The rules of this tag:</p>
<p>A. The rules are posted at the beginning</p>
<p>B. Answer the questions about yourself</p>
<p>C. Tag 5 people, let them know in a comment on their blogs that they have been tagged.</p>
<p><strong>What were you doing 10 yrs ago?</strong></p>
<p>Um, 1998. Learning about computers. I&#8217;d been living in a VW bus with my then-husband, working retail and being hippies. We moved into an apartment and I started doing office temp work because I was SICK of retail, and found I had an aptitude for computer stuff. I took a class in Multimedia and learned about HTML and the internet, and here we are.</p>
<p><strong>Snacks I enjoy:</strong></p>
<li>Apple and chunk o&#8217; cheddar</li>
<li>Chips and salsa</li>
<li>Bread and butter</li>
<li>uhhhh. I guess I&#8217;m not a big snacker.</li>
<p><strong>Five things on my to-do list today:</strong></p>
<li>Finish this and post.</li>
<li>Work on my quilt if there&#8217;s time.</li>
<li>Pick up kids&#8217; toys.</li>
<li>Take my antibiotics.</li>
<li>Go to bed.</li>
<p><strong>Things I would do if I became a billionaire:</strong></p>
<li>Buy a house in Northern Ireland near my parents.
</li>
<li>Buy a house somewhere warm.
</li>
<li>Invest a lot.
</li>
<li>Give some to family and charities.
</li>
<p><strong>3 bad habits:</strong></p>
<li>Eating too much ice cream.
</li>
<li>Being lazy about housework.
</li>
<li>Sometimes drinking too much wine.
</li>
<p><strong>5 places I have lived:</strong></p>
<li>Bangor, Northern Ireland</li>
<li>Keele, England</li>
<li>Kent, WA</li>
<li>Seattle, WA</li>
<li>Whidbey Island, WA</li>
<p><strong>Jobs I have had:</strong></p>
<p>Oh goodness. Many, but can be mostly summed up like this:</p>
<li>Retail in various places.
</li>
<li>Data entry.
</li>
<li>Office Manager.
</li>
<li>Technical Writer.
</li>
<li>Mum.
</li>
<p><strong>Things people don’t know about me:</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia">synesthete</a>.  Specifically, my days of the week have colors associated with them and always have. There are other aspects of my life that are probably synesthetic, but I&#8217;m still trying to figure it out. I only just discovered that other people do this and that there&#8217;s a name for it &#8212; I always thought it was just me being weird.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much else people who know me don&#8217;t know &#8212; I&#8217;m a pretty open book, I don&#8217;t hide much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made this up one day and it has quickly become one of our regular favorites. Tasty, nutritious, and QUICK to prepare. Ben even askes for seconds. Amounts are approximate for now, maybe I&#8217;ll try measuring stuff the next time. <img src='http://www.blether.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul>
2 cups cooked brown rice</p>
<p>1 10oz bag loosely packed frozen spinach (I use Woodstock Farms)</p>
<p>6 eggs</p>
<p>1 cup grated cheese &#8212; cheddar and/or mozzarella</p>
<p>2 tbsps curry powder (or flavoring of your choice to taste)</p>
<p>salt and pepper</p>
<p>Optional: frozen vegetarian sausages, sliced
</ul>
<p>Preheat the oven to 400ºF.<br />
Put the rice, spinach and a third of the cheese into a casserole dish and mix.<br />
Beat the eggs together with curry powder and salt and pepper.<br />
Pour eggs over mixture in casserole dish, stir to coat everything.<br />
Top with remaining cheese (and veggie sausages if desired).</p>
<p>Cover and bake for 45 &#8211; 50 minutes, remove covering and cook for about 10 minutes more, or until eggs are set.</p>
