Meme + more food thoughts

In response to niamh_x's post:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee.



The ESC is sacred for me, just like the Tour de France. Nothing could ever take away the joy of following it, not even the scadals, not even the cheating. Yes, the ESC is probably the worst thing... but it's so bad that it just becomes amazingly good. This icon represents my love for the ESC, everyone loves it but most people deny that love, I say "embrace it and enjoy it!" Of course, the icon was made with the ESC logo from when Ukieland won the competition.


Smiling Jaro, do I need to say more? This is from when he was one of the models for some kind of clothes and his face was some billboards in Monaco. Good times, good times. Yope, that icon is nothing more than eye candy.


I made this icon from one of the pictures from that race where little itsy bitsy Thomas L. came second and they gave him some flowers and a teddy bear and I just thought that was adorable. That's my third "awww..." picture, after the Baden Cooke one and the cat one.


This is my default icon that has been my default icon for about two or three years now mainly because it's the one that my sister squeed over when I made it. My sister and I have a thing about the lions at the Tour de France, whoever gets to see a stage has to take pictures of the lions in the caravane. The original picture is from when Thomas Voeckler got the yellow jersey for the first time in 2005 (or was it 2004?).

In other news, my new best friend is called "Ruispuikulat" which is the best thing ever. It's bread but made to look kind of like English muffins, but it has 10% fiber and it's mainly what my parents call "black bread". With butter, it's amazing! Yummy! Seriously, when I have to leave Finland, that's one thing I'll miss, the awesome bread... last week I found some with anise in it! Heck, sure in France there are baguettes and boulageries do make special bread but it's just not the same taste.

Oh, our sacred rye bread. It's one of those things that the Finns are going to miss the most when they're abroad too. Most of the Finns can't stand the snow white bread like the toast in the US and western Europe. I hated it in the UK. It feels that even our white toast has more fiber in it.

In France, it's very rare to eat white bread but the 'traditional' kinds of bread are not made with the same ingredients... but now that I think about it, here they don't have the 'homely' feel to the bread, I bet if I went to the market I could find some nice fresh-out-of-the-over bread, that must be fantastic!

You know, I'd been wondering about that lion! :D

And I totally agree with comments about ESC and rye bread of all sorts.

Yeah, the TdF lions are probably the best things in the world! There was a really awesome picture a while back of Tyler Hamilton's dog sitting with Tyler's collection of lion toys, that was the cutest thing in the world!
