<p>Did you know that our bocce team had a food theme every week?<br />
Each week we pick a theme like &#8220;Italian Honeymoon&#8221; or &#8220;Foods You Can Eat With One Hand&#8221; or &#8220;Old Family Meals&#8221; and try to outwit each other with our presentation.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s  theme was &#8220;Foods that represent your personality&#8221; and it resulted in chuckles abound.</p>
<p><a title="Joanie Loves Bocce" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helenjane/504110705/"><img style="padding: 0 10px 0 0;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/197/504110705_522e871ab6_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Joanie Loves Bocce" width="240" height="186" align="left" /></a>So what did everyone bring?<br />
<strong>Natalie: </strong> A salty, buttery cherry tart.  Because her dad grows cherries and she&#8217;s awesome.</p>
<p><strong>Kevs: </strong> Pecorino cheese with aged honey and french bread, because he&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>Adam: </strong> Olives and beer.  Because he was lazy (his comment, not mine, I happen to think Adam is very hardworking.)</p>
<p><strong>Tom: </strong> Dry rubbed ribs, because he&#8217;s complex yet everyone loves him.</p>
<p><strong>J. Kendall: </strong> Spicy bean dip, because he&#8217;s spicy and full of potential gas.</p>
<p><strong>Malcolm: </strong> Guacamole, because he was wearing a green shirt, and he goes well with anyone.</p>
<p><strong>James: </strong> Sushi, because he&#8217;s meticulous, clean and good looking.</p>
<p><strong>Helen Jane: </strong> the bocce skewers below, because they&#8217;re creative, useful and fun to eat (ahem).</p>
<p>So you&#8217;ll now have a leg up on your guests when you ask them to your next potluck because I&#8217;m asking you&#8230;</p>
<p>What food represents <em>your</em> personality?</p>
