1. What kind of olive oil do you use?
Generally I use whatever is on sale for sauteing, pan frying, etc. My friend just gave me a bottle of olive oil that she got in Italy and I also use olive oil from this local store called Seasons for special applications like putting on grilled and roasted veggies, salads, vinaigrettes, finishing sauces, etc.
2. Do you prefer salted or unsalted butter?
I personally like unsalted butter, a must for baking, but my parents generally also buy salted for eating on bread and other things.
3. What size eggs do you usually buy?
Generally the large or extra large for eating, medium or large for baking.
4. What’s in the bottom drawer of your fridge?
Two drawers with fruits and veggies.

1. A cup of tea makes me feel all warm inside.
2. Nice-smelling candles and cookies baking in the oven makes a place feel like home.
3. Everything has its beauty, even though sometimes it is hard to see.
4. Do you like the taste of strawberries in the summer?
5. Art makes me stop and appreciate the brush strokes and small little details.
6. LOL I just noticed I forgot to buy my book for Spanish so I can read it this weekend, but now I’m snowed in. Oops.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to trying to get out of my driveway to go to school for sorority recruitment (but I don’t think that’s gonna happen), tomorrow my plans include sorority recruitment (?), and Sunday I want to get ready for Tuesday and the Flogging Molly concert!

1. Pickles are good, but I like the garlic kind the best.
2. I hate being stuck at home when there is a snow storm, like there was for the better part of this week.
3. The snow is cold, wet, and unpleasant.
4. Wild animals are found in nature.
5. It’s 5:16 PM; that means I’m probably preparing to make dinner sometime soon, or I’m driving home from school. It depends on the day.
6. A good friend is hard to find.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing, tomorrow my plans include studying for a million tests (because that is fun, right?) and Sunday, I want to pile the snow back across my driveway so I have an excuse not to go to classes on Monday.

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.
