I saw this list just yesterday and wondered what was on it but wouldn't push allow!

My number is 18 and it's only because there are things like root beer float and s'mores on it. I eat like an unadventurous five year old. I don't plan on upping this number either! :) Best of luck getting to 100 though!

(have you ever seen head cheese? We used to serve it at the nursing home...ick)

Man, Melissa! You are an adventurous eater, for sure!!! Glad to see you're still alive after some of that stuff! jk :D

Okay. This Bubba Watson video had me laughing right out loud! Funniest thing I've seen in days! Totally going to show this to Dave as both he and I are now Bubba fans after the Masters. What a nice guy. This video seals the deal!!!

I've got to tell ya...head cheese is on my list of "I hope I die before I ever have to eat that stuff" list. You go girl. Let me know how it tastes...if you live to tell about it.

I've had handshakes like those...and hugs too. AWKWARD. Love how the guy scratches his nose like that was the plan all along!

Only 54 for me. But then again it didn't include wild boar or noodles with octopus and ink sauce!
