Tryndee Nayme Gayme---GOURMAND EDITION

The Dada Drummer is both fascinated and horrified by California Goddess Laurie's suggestion of Bologna and Dijon as place names. In my dreamy brain these names blended with California Goddess Shannon's name origins at an A&W drive-in to create a VISION for this week's game.

Mom and Dada are sophisticated American foodies expecting their first (and probably only) child. Mom's hobbies include collecting signed celebrity cookbooks and attending specialty cheese-tasting shows (she's grumpy about being off blue and soft-ripened cheeses during the pregnancy!). Dad is an artisan jam maker whose clients include Giada, Rachel, Martha, and Ida. They are in need of the most deliciously original food themed name you can invent!

Bon Appetite!

(IPlawwife is going through BIG TIME stinky cheese withdrawal during her pregnancy. I went to our favorite wine/cheese shop the other day and bought some nice pasteurized cheese from our buddy the cheese monger. He had some nice Fosterkasse, but I had to pass as it is definitely on the "bad food" list)

Picón Cabrales (Pronunciation: pee-CONE ka-BRAHL-ays). No one will understand it, everyone will mispronounce it, and she will end up going by "PC"--actually this is the name given to an extremely stinky Spanish blue cheese that is aged in Maple leaves. Once you go cabrales, you never go back (Politically incorrect enough for this crowd?).

Thank goodness, no boggling required this week.

Haricots Verts-a boy, a little on the nerdy side, and gets picked on a lot at school because his mom sends only organic (and eventually macrobiotic)lunches, packed in completely recycled bags. Later, he
gets revenge. He starts an organic vegetable farm, and is bought out by Whole Foods. He makes a killing, buys an eco-friendly car, marries a soap-maker, and moves to Vermont. Their kids are named Lindsey and Mark.


Bain-Marie- a girl, she's a little overweight as a child, (all those croissants with jam), but she's well-liked and funny. She outgrows the babyfat, becomes a top model, later hosting a reality show featuring wanna be designers (sound familiar?) Upon completion of the show, she finds her true calling, designing home bathroom fixtures, and is known for her bathtub and toilet designs. She and her girlfriend are in the process of interviewing nannies for their adopted twins, Cagney and Lacy.

"Oh, dear!!"

[The Dada Drummers giggles and giggles; serious danger of pants peeing.]

If Bain-Marie and gf are still in the market for nannies -- or godparents -- Bologna and Dijon would be honored.
