Four Foods On Friday #99

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.

Four Foods On Friday #98

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.

Four Foods on Friday #92

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.

“I Want….” Wednesday

I’m posting three weeks worth of questions here.

#47
What do you want to do more often with your significant other (or best friend, if you’re single)?

There’s a lot of things I’d like to do with him, but if I had to pick one I would probably have to say travel more. It’s nice to get away from the bullshit of everyday life and visit somewhere different.

#46
What do you want to undo that you have already done?

If I could start college all over again, I would either go to culinary school or major in psychology. In theory, it is never too late to change, but at this point it would be a major, and costly, setback for me. Plus, there’s nothing stopping me from taking some cooking classes or brushing up my cooking skills at any point in time, or using my future degree in business to get into restaurant management or ownership.

#45
What do you want to happen faster? Slower?

In an odd sense, I have mixed feelings on the idea of going back to school in a few weeks… so I guess you could say that school is something I am both looking forward to and not looking forward to. I am looking forward to having something to do again, since this summer was relatively unproductive and uneventful. I am not looking forward to all of the driving back and forth, and the work involved with assignments and whatnot.

Thursday Thunks

1. Your thoughts on hunting?
I can see the need to go hunting if a person absolutely has to, but I don’t see the point in shooting animals as a “sport.”

2. Swine Flu vaccine… will you get it?
No

3. What is one job/profession that you think there are just too many of?
Lawyers

4. I want to go on a diet, what advice will you offer me?
Cutting back on soda and eating smaller portions of food is the easiest way to “diet” without dieting and denying yourself of the things you enjoy.

5. You are going out on a date with someone for the very first time. When you get into their car, you see a box of condoms on the floor. What do you do?
I wouldn’t mention anything to the person directly about what I saw. I wouldn’t want to embarrass the person or make a big deal over something that could mean nothing; however, I would be cautious the rest of the evening.

6. Name something in your bathroom that shouldn’t be there.
That shouldn’t be there? Well, the occasional magazine, I guess. That’s the most out of place thing that I can think of.

7. What was your Kindergarten teacher like?
She was very kind. I remember doing a lot of fun things in kindergarten, like making applesauce, having a mock first Thanksgiving feast in the classroom, and watching baby chicks hatch.

8. What kind of oil do you use when you cook?
Depends on what I’m cooking, how I’m cooking (frying, baking, etc.), and what I have on hand…

9. If someone takes an unflattering picture of you and posts it online, do you beg them to take it down or do you laugh at yourself with everyone else?
It depends on how unflattering it is.

10. What brand of dishwashing soap do you use?
We change brands every so often.
