That game with the letters, and Tori too!

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along. Of course If you want to comment but not be assigned a letter, that's an option too. So I'll only assign letters to those who specifically ask for them.

So here's the Susie twist...you know I must have visuals. Here we go!



Samosa - A samosa is a vegetable or meat filled Indian pastry. My favorite are aloo mattar (which is potato and peas for you, Logo). I love to eat them with all types of chutneys, and I love to make them too. I have a giant scar on my arm from when a tsunami of hot boiling oil rose up in rebellion from a monstrous samosa and splashed onto my arm. Get right back on that bike and ride, I say!



Spices- I love to cook Indian and Italian food, and what would I do without my spice stash? I cannot live without my oregano, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, cumin, curry, chili powder, garam masala, panch pora....and so many others. I have so many spices that when you open the cabinets, they fall out on the floor!




Suede and Sugar - Two of my favorite Tori songs! Tori said I could skip Tori Tuesday today if I promised to mention her in my S words. Of course, Tori, of course! My day wouldn't be complete without you.




Sunshine - need it, gotta have it!




Sandals - I love shoes, all kinds. I even appreciate Manolo's. But for real walking and life, I prefer barefoot or open toed sandals like my chacos here. I don't have any tennis shoes, or whatever they are called....and I don't know how to buy them so that they don't make my feet cry out in horror. Someday I will buy some running shoes, and maybe become like Forrest Gump, that's how I get sometimes about stuff.




Simple - that about covers it.



Smile - Well, you know..... smiling is good for you! Giving smiles is good too. You can break a lot of ice with a friendly smile.




Saree - A traditional Indian woman's garment. I chose this word because I love sarees. I like to wear them, and I like to cut them up and make fabulous clothing and stuff out of them. The borders are fabulous! They are also really fun to use for decorating, because you have a lot of yardage in one saree.




Southpaw - I am a lefty and I cannot help it. One day, like Ned Flanders, I will open up a Leftorium at the mall. My offspring shall inherit my Leftorium because she is left handed too!
Never again will I dream of a left handed manual can opener, or an ice cream scoop with that lever thing on the proper side. I will be able to pour water from a pitcher without spilling it, because the pour spout will be in the left place! :P

OK there ya have it. Let me know if you want a letter!
