I heard about the meme from Megan at Medieval Bookworm, and the letter she’s chosen for me is B. Since books, authors and books with names or titles that begin with B, and blogging are too easy, I’ll leave them out for this.
Bagels. With cream cheese and lox? Heavenly.
Bavaria. Went here in 1999 and fell in love with the food (not something I thought I’d ever say about German cuisine!). If you’re ever in Munich, do visit the Hofbrauhaus, where Hitler held his failed “Beer Hall Putsch” in 1923. They also have good wurst.
The BBC. Love, love, love the BBC, especially their adaptations of classic novels (Pride and Prejudice, anyone?). Last April, when I subscribed to Netflix, I began watching Upstairs, Downstairs, which is seriously good! I also love the BBC’s comedies; I own the complete series of Keeping Up Appearances on DVD. Yeah, I’m obsessed.
The Bachelor. I have a confession to make: in addition to books, I love watching TV, especially reality TV. The Bachelor is just one of those shows. So trashy, but oh so good.
Barcelona. One of my favorite European cities. The architecture of Antonio Gaudi is quite amazing.
Black. I wear a lot of this color—today I wore a black sweater, black stockings, black boots, and a skirt that’s black and white.
The Bayeaux Tapestry. Went to France in 1999 and saw this nearly by accident (it wasn’t on our schedule originally, but since it was raining out, we decided to go anyways)); it’s magnificent. It’s displayed in its own, L-shaped, lighting-controlled room.
Brie cheese. I love cheese in general, but brie is the best. Have them with Club crackers, and it’s a perfect afternoon snack.
“Badlands.” One of Bruce Spingsteen’s best songs ever.
Bubonic plague. Don’t laugh; once upon a time I wrote my undergrad thesis on it.

The Black Death is definitely one of the more interesting episodes in history - and there are so many phases of it that it's versatile as well. We still can't manage to figure out just how much of the population it killed on its first go round. I think it's fascinating!

Good luck with the thesis.
Barcelona is one of my favourite cities too! And I had a great time in the beer halls of Bavaria!
You were very controlled not using books or blogging! Well done!
