1. How do drink your hot chocolate? Marshmallows? From boxed or scratch?
I try to make it from scratch every so often because it tastes so much better, but I also have some Godiva hot chocolate on hand that is a good substitute for scratch. I like mine with whipped cream or marshmallows, depending on my mood. :yummy;
2. Do you prefer cider hot or cold?
Cold.
3. Do you like egg nog?
Yes, every once in a while. I find that if I buy a pint of it, though, I never drink the entire container; one or two small glasses is usually enough, then I am good on it for the rest of the season, lol.
4. How do you make punch?
We used to make punch all of the time on New Years Eve at my house using lemon-lime soda, fruit punch, frozen fruit, and a container of sherbert.

1. How many cookbooks do you have? (1-10, 11-20, 20+)
Oh man, probably more than 20. (Speaking of, I’ve been looking for my Bon Appetit cookbook – the newer one with the orange cover, I think it’s a 25th anniversary edition or something – but I can’t find it. 
I think it’s in a box somewhere from when we moved, and I never unpacked it.)
2. Where do you keep your large utensils (such as slotted spoons, spatulas, etc)?
In drawers. I had my drawers neatly organized and arranged, but they are in complete chaos right now.
3. What is your countertop made of?
Not sure. Formica, I think.
4. Do you use canisters in your kitchen?
I have big Tupperware tubs for things like flour, sugar, etc. but I’d love to buy some nicer-looking ceramic or acrylic plastic canisters with hinges one of these days.

1. Name something you like with pumpkin in it.
Pumpkin is amazing in so many things. Pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin bisque, pumpkin rolls (pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, rolled up like a jelly roll)… yum. 
2. Name an orange food you like.
Sweet potatoes. I love eating them baked and topped with butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
3. What’s your favorite color/flavor of licorice?
Twizzler has all sorts of different “rainbow” flavours now that are pretty yummy, but I am still fond of the regular cherry variety.
4. What’s your favorite hot beverage at Halloween?
Coffee, but then again that’s something I drink year-round. I can’t say that there is a “seasonal” beverage I drink during Halloween.

#1. TheSaladCaper’s question. Give me one weird food combination which has always been your comfort food.
A weird food combination? I don’t know about weird, but any kind of homemade baked goods are like comfort food for me. I guess it’s how good the house smells when something is baking in the oven, like a fruit pie or cookies.
#2. Name a food that begins with B.
Bananas.
#3. Name a drink that begins with B.
Bourbon.
#4. Share a recipe for something that calls for broccoli.
We always make this pasta recipe with sliced black olives, broccoli, and angel hair in a garlic and oil sauce.

#1. Lynne’s question. Do you cook items besides meat on the BBQ grill, and do you prefer gas or charcoal grills?
I’m a vegetarian (pescatarian, actually, because I occasionally eat fish but not other kinds of meat), so I cook veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and vegetables on the grill. Grilled pizza is pretty good, too. I like the flavour that charcoal gives to the food, but gas is so much easier to deal with.
#2. Name a food that begins with A.
Asparagus.
#3. Name a drink that begins with A.
Absinthe. 
#4. Share a recipe for something that calls for American Cheese.
I don’t really use American cheese a lot when I cook, but it is yummy for “traditional” grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.
