Robin at My Melange tagged me for a meme yesterday, which is new to “meme” but seems like fun. Here are the rules. {I’m updating this meme because I also got tagged by Sally at Casalba News recently and since I already posted this one… I figured: 1 stone…. 2 birds, you get the picture. I love Sally’s blog and the fact that she tried one of our family recipes:) I think you’ll like it too. I guess memes are sort of like chain letters….. sorry to anyone else who memes me going forward but I’m all memed out}

• Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
• Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
• Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and links to their blogs.
• Tell them that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I like all types of pasta except linguini (it’s the texture)
2. I work in my pjs from my home office for the first half of the day and then shower when I need a break. (I’m still in my pjs)
3. I’m a fan of Bill Maher
4. I won’t buy olive oil that is a product of a country other than Italy.
5. I go mushroom hunting in the fall and then make them for friends (without telling them until after they eat them.) Oops!
6. I’m a Yankees Fan and live in Massachusetts.
7. I use my Italian passport when I go to Italy because the “non-European” line is always too long.

I’m sure many of you seasoned bloggers have been tagged before, so sorry if you’re getting this again. I won’t do a full seven but here’s goes: I’m tagging my new friends Jonny and Nikki at Sunday Sauce, my longtime friend Wendy at Get Fit Sensibly who is heading back to work soon, Katie at Olio di Oliva e Sogni di Vino because it was her birthday yesterday and Lorraine at Italian Foodies (when she gets back.)

And on a final note Happy San Giuseppe and Happy Father’s Day to all you Italian Papa’s (it’s father’s day in Italy today)
