where the magic happens.  Well, the writing part at least.Looks like I’m workin’ hard, dunnit?

I don’t usually fall victim succumb to the urge to participate in most meme’s, but when the Good Dr. Biggles from Meathenge tags you with one, you just have to answer the call. The topic had me grinning anyway. I mean, who can resist dishing a little dirt, especially when you’re dishing it about yourself! The when you’re done dishin’ your own dirt, you get to go pick five other suckers of your friends to do the same. Sounds good to me!

So without further ado, let’s dive in to five sordid little tidbits from my life…
(Sorry Feed Fans, you’ll have to visit to see the rest…)

Five Sordid Facts About Jerry :

  1. My kitchen is more often than not a complete disaster. I know that is an odd statement for a food blogger, especially one that regularly shoots fairly acceptable food porn in various areas of his kitchen. What can I say? It’s a small kitchen, and I cook a lot. The dishwasher runs pretty much nonstop in our home. (I’m also more than passable with image editing software, which helps when I realized that I missed a spot.)
  2. I worked for 20 years in the web design industry. I despised every second of the last ten years of that career, which is why I became what they call a “Pro-Blogger”.
  3. Some of the food shots on this blog are inedible. That is not to say non food items were ever used, everything was edible at one point, but occasionally a bad shot from that evening means setting up again with leftovers from the night before the next day. These food items may or may not have been intended for human consumption.
  4. I’ve been arrested – twice. (No, I’m not telling you why, I was younger and had considerably less common sense back then.)
  5. Though I’ve met and am quite happy totalk to a great number of people through this blog, I’m actually a vers private and almost devastatingly shy person. I never mingle at parties and I have a difficult time being in large groups where people are supposed to interact face-to face.

It’s hard to believe that’s five already! There’s actually a lot more I could say on the darker side of my life, but I think I’ll just leave it at this and go about penning my list of victims people I’m going to tag for this meme.

First of all, I think that Shawnda is hiding something, so I’ll hit her first. Honestly, nobody can be that nice all the time. Next we’ll see if Laura Rebecca has any dirt to share with the world. Next on the list, we’ll see if we can get Chef Tom to dish up more than a recipe. Lessee… Who’s next? I think perhaps Ari might be hiding something behind her impossibly sweet veneer that she hasn’t told us all about yet. And last, but most certainly not least, I’m going to tag someone very special to me, The lovely and talented Mrs. Seat of her Pants, just to see if she dishes up half of the dirt that I already know about.

For those of you I didn’t pick on this time… we”, I’ll find a good reason to slander your good name at a later date, I suppose. but hey, if you’re interested, feel free to join in!

So the rulez are simple, just link back t this pot if you decide to take the hallenge, and be sure to tag five people you think deserve it.

Have a good one, Y’All!

    That is some hard work you are doing right there, Jerry, hehehe.
    My kitchen is always a mess, too, and my dishwasher hasn’t worked for a while, so I curse it every time I do dishes, which is at least 2 times a day. :/
    You’ve been arrested, too? Being young and stupid is the best excuse for it, isn’t it?
    And I am the same way about social gatherings, I am shy and prefer the silence and comfort of my hobbit-hole. Hahaha.

    We want more dirt!

  2. Jerry says:

    Ben,
    I was actually proofreading ;)

    For once I can say for certain that the kitchen will be clean by morning, at which point I have a project that will destroy it again, but hey, at least it’ll be clean for a little while.

    I wouldn’t say young and stupid… More like young and at the wrong place at the wrong time… Yeah, that sounds good.

    Nasssssty Hobitsssssssessssssssss!

    No more dirt from me for a while, I’m afraid. I’ve used up my quota for the month!

  3. Dr. Biggles says:

    I’m shy too. I think, for me, it’s more that I really don’t like other people. That is of course, unless their really cute. Then shy doesn’t describe my way of being.
