I’m so lucky to be around people who also appreciate amazing food and wine and sportsmanship.

Did you know that our bocce team had a food theme every week?
Each week we pick a theme like “Italian Honeymoon” or “Foods You Can Eat With One Hand” or “Old Family Meals” and try to outwit each other with our presentation.

This week’s theme was “Foods that represent your personality” and it resulted in chuckles abound.

So what did everyone bring?
Natalie: A salty, buttery cherry tart. Because her dad grows cherries and she’s awesome.

Kevs: Pecorino cheese with aged honey and french bread, because he’s salty, sweet and a little yeasty. I kid about the yeasty part! He had a much cleverer reasoning behind his tasty treats than I did.

Adam: Olives and beer. Because he was lazy (his comment, not mine, I happen to think Adam is very hardworking.)

Tom: Dry rubbed ribs, because he’s complex yet everyone loves him.

J. Kendall: Spicy bean dip, because he’s spicy and full of potential gas.

Malcolm: Guacamole, because he was wearing a green shirt, and he goes well with anyone.

James: Sushi, because he’s meticulous, clean and good looking.

Helen Jane: the bocce skewers below, because they’re creative, useful and fun to eat (ahem).

So you’ll now have a leg up on your guests when you ask them to your next potluck because I’m asking you…

What food represents your personality?
