This is from my friend Shannon's blog, and I thought I'd participate! Four jobs I have had in my life: 1. Haagen Dazs ice cream shop. (dangerous....but yummy!) 2. Blockbuster video. 3. selling Kirby vacuum cleaners door to door. (so sad) 4. Fajita Factory restaurant. 5. (bonus) the film library at University Hospital in Albuquerque. Four places I have been on vacation: 1. Scotland (a couple of times, once with Lynda and the second time for my and Kevin's wedding and honeymoon---it's our favorite place!) 2. Lido Key, Florida (with Lynda and Cheryl to celebrate our doctorates!) 3. Amboise, France (with Lynda) 4. Venice, Italy (with Lynda...same trip...so great!) Four of my favorite foods: 1. homemade bread (thanks, Shannon!) 2. red chili and potatoes/eggs with homemade tortillas. 3. mandarin oranges. 4. ice cream. 5. (bonus) paprika chicken and platke (Dennette makes this traditional Slovak yumminess!) Four places I would rather be now: 1. somewhere in the northeast where the leaves are changing and it feels like fall. 2. in Scotland (near Stirling/Callenadar) with Kevin and Anna. 3. watching sunset on the sea cliffs on the Isle of Skye. 4. hiking the foothills during sunset in Albuquerque. 5. (bonus) Victoria, British Columbia.

You have been to some fun places! I wonder if the paprika chicken you love is like the paprika chicken in Hungary? We love to make it. I totally remember Haagen Daz - it isn't there anymore, is it?
By the way, I am glad you liked the chopped chicken salad. So good! And weird there were no avocadoes in your town! I guess LA isn't all about the tex-mex like here?
Yes, I think the paprika chicken is probably the same, or very close! She learned it from a flute professor at the Brno Conservatory in Slovakia. It's got to be nearly the same. No, Haagen Dazs is gone. Sad.
It's so sad about the no avocadoes. I think the people that stock the veggie area don't actually EAT veggies and fruits themselves, because the leave the most over-ripe things out (like the avocaodes), and then they probably don't order more because they think, "Oh, we have plenty." But the reason they have plenty is because no one will buy totally over-ripe avocados that are probably liquid inside! Silly people.
