RhondaLea 4 #1 March 2, 2006 Well, this week's junk mail (how do I get on these mailing lists?) had two new weird tests: What Sushi Are You? which I couldn't take because I don't eat raw fish, and The Box of Chocolates Test, which says I'm a coconut truffle. I hate coconut. I'm pretty sure it missed on the personality traits too: You are a smooth coconut truffle: Creamy coconut filling accented with coconut flakes, in a milk chocolate shell. Soft and irresistably sweet. I would label you as an introvert though....you prefer to keep more to yourself or small groups than to be at a wild party. But you're a lovely person and friend, someone that others can truly count on. And you see the world through rose-colored glasses, which is getting harder these days, so hold onto that optimism :) If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #8 March 2, 2006 The sushi one is funny because my ex-BF's favorite sushi is Salmon Skin Handroll. I do love coconut and chocolate truffles, too. Sake Kawa Temaki 70% Adventurousness, 56% Complexity, 51% Heartiness Sake Kawa Temaki (Salmon Skin Handroll) - A cone of Nori stuffed with crunchy broiled salmon skin, bits of salmon meat, shaved green onions and beefsteak leaves. Dust it with some tiny fish roe for color and sparkle and you have a masterpiece for your mouth. You're the sort who eats sushi with gusto, and each meal is a new adventure. Who cares if you're eating onions on a date?... If your date has any sense, they will be eating one right along with you. Coconut truffle You scored 44% Dark, 66% Crunch, and 69% Chewy!

I had salmon for dinner, but I cooked it first. I'll eat raw clams. I'll eat raw oysters. I'll eat lox and Nova, but I'll be damned if I'll eat raw fish.

I have a lot of experience with raw fish, and it's a wonder I'll still eat fish at all. I know that's still vague, but this is supposed to be a nice thread. Let's just say I prefer my parasites to be well cooked before they reach my stomach. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

And in this case a lot of different lovely slices of fish, wrapped around sushi rice, cucumber and radish sprouts. No, it's not traditional, but it satisfies your craving for a new experience with every bite. Salmon, tuna, breem, mackerel, snapper, shrimp, and halibut all have a place in this smorgasbord of tastes. Some might call you "indecisive," but why settle for less than a little of everything? Open Oyster You scored 33% Dark, 59% Crunch, and 60% Chewy! You are an Open Oyster: a creamy blend of finely ground hazelnuts and milk chocolate in a milk chocolate shell. Sometimes you're open, sometimes you're closed, but hidden deep within is a pearl. You don't have much of a wild steak, but you do have your creative and more passionate moments, as well as your sweet ones. But you can turn all that on and off just as easily as an oyster opens and closes. You suck people in when you show them your sweet side...don't be afraid to open up more often ;)"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

You are a raspberry caramel cashew bouchee (that's a mouthful!): Cream raspberry caramel and cashews surrounded by white chocolate, and topped with a solid dark chocolate medallion. You are a very sweet, creative, and mentally-stimulating person. You love to be original and at times can be intense, but not to a frightening degree which is nice. You're not wild, just passionate about the things you love. You could probably stand to let go of the routine a bit and just get out there and have some fun, but overall, you are a lovely gem to find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are a Mielodie, from the Godiva Platinum Collection: sweet and salty honeyed almond butter praliné in white chocolate. The Mielodie is an interesting piece....It's sweet and salty on the inside, therefore not for everyone. You're 'cool' on the outside, and like to stay away from the heart of the action and bustle. You're also pretty 'cool' on the inside, in the hard-hearted sense. Oh sure, you have your moments of sweetness, but you're very sensible, too, and not likely to be driven by emotions and the heat of the moment. You can be creative and fun, and you get out there to make things interesting, but don't forget to smile along the way. and I agree with you about coconut.
