Weekly Drawing: Avocado?

Weekly Drawing: Pear and Plums

This is a drawing I did in college with conte crayons.  I asked a friend (@sushirevenge on twitter) to take bites out of the plums and pear because at the time I wasn't really a fan of those fruits.

I should draw food more often.

My Top 5: Pizza Toppings

I could eat pizza every day.  Here are my 5 favorite toppings.

• Black olives

These are so addictive.  I say I like them on pizza, which I do, but I could also just eat them straight out of the can.  I lust for them.

• Zucchini

Thinly sliced zucchini is so awesome baked on a pizza.  Unlike cucumber, it's not very juicy, so you needn't worry about it getting weird and slimy.  Great crunchy texture!

• Tomato slices

Tomato slices help bring out the flavor in the marinara sauce.  I get excited when I see pizzas topped with tomatoes :D

• Artichoke hearts

I've always thought that artichoke hearts looked totally gross and weird, but they're one of those mysteriously amazing foods.  Excellent sliced up on pizza.

• Feta cheese

The absolute best cheese to have crumbled on top of your other pizza ingredients.  

Hungry yet?  I am!

My Top 5: Cookies

1. Snickerdoodle

Cinnamon-sugar is such a lovely, lovely combination.  Snickerdoodles have to use a truckload of artery-clogging Crisco to be really soft and yummy.

2. Tagalongs

Everyone disagrees with me when I say Tagalongs are the best Girl Scout cookie.  I'm telling you, Thin Mints are delicious, but Tagalongs are like crack!  There is no comparison.

3. Chips Ahoy Chewy

These cookies are probably a small step away from raw dough.  They're so good that I can overcome my conscience long enough to eat a whole row in one sitting.

4. Christmas

Xmas cookies are so much fun!  They taste good, and you can bite the heads off of snowmen and reindeer.

5. Pumpkin

These are sooooo good, especially when they're warm.  I actually think I like everything made with pumpkin: pie, bread, cookies, cake... no wonder Linus worshiped the Great Pumpkin.

What are your favorite kinds of cookie?
