    i think being a critic on a cooking show would be the best...one where they have to be creative...i am open to pretty much anything other than lima beans....

  12. Mmmm...I should have had dinner before reading your 55! Yes, food critic would be a cool career, this is true. But when I grow up, I think I'd like to be a lottery winner. :)

    Oh, by the way...mine is HERE .

  13. I picked a good day to visit, huh!? I love the idea here!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I wouldn't mind being a food critic, either. I get pretty sick of my own kitchen. That's a fun "55," Mr. G.:)

    ReplyDelete
  15. You wanna be that Anthony Bourdain guy, tho? He eats really really weird sh$t. :)

    You so very very ROCK!

    And dang, I so had planned to be here 2 hours ago, but life happened. :)

    My 55 is here.

  21. The only problem with being a food critic is that I would eventually be asked to try liver, snails, and fish eggs.
    (**shudder**)

    Be sure and let me know how that goes. :)

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

  24. Galen? Thinking about food? Don't worry. Thanksgiving is not far away...

  25. You ALL know how I am in love with my food. Thats why my arse looks like it does.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Set up a blog and start critiquing the food at the local restaurants. After you've done a few (freebies) make up some cards, pass them out, and let it be known at the restaurants that you'd love to critique the meal of their choice and all it will cost them is two meals (you and a companion of your choice). It just might work. I know of at least one food blog that started that way.

    Come on by my place and meet The Math Whiz.

  32. Galen, just think of all the calories you're saving by not being a food critic. Your heart is probably thanking you.

  39. Is an interesting job...you get fed AND you can complain if it's not good, minus the bill.

  41. And, an excellent food critic you would be!

    I'm up!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I want to be one too! Like Brian said, I'd love to be a judge on Chopped or Iron Chef. That would be a great gig! Loved you 55. Mine is here.

  43. this was cute when i read it last night but could not comment. don't know what was up with blogger, but i am up now. a picture 55!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yeah, food critic would be a wonderful job. Except the newspaper expects you to pay for all your meals on what little they give you and the restaurants aren't supposed to know who you are.

    I'm way late, but I finally came up with something.

    Mine is here

  45. You can tell I seriously considered it, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Didn't "Sammy" sing "I WANNA BE MEEEE"? But I DO think you'd be a great food critic...we like the same dishes--FOOD!

    Hope it is not too late...

  47. I am a food critic everyday. Most of the food I make tastes awful.
    The thick clam chowder makes me hungry. I love clam chowder, but it is hard to find a good bowl of it and canned tastes just awful.

    ReplyDelete
