Q & a (From Troutbend)

How often do you go to the grocery store?
Whenever we need something. Both M and I go past our local Grocery store just about every day so we have no problem swinging in for a bit of this or that when we need it.

What's your favorite dinner to cook at home?
M makes a killer Butter Cream Sauce and we make that once in a while. But the most recent dish has been Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and asparagus.   

What do you drink with meals at home?

Iced tea most of the time, sometimes a beer or whiskey/bourbon and a clear soda mixed.

Do you have a mid- to late-afternoon snack?
Not normally, but if I do its usually peanuts or small bowl of chips.

Do you eat fast food, or maybe how often do you eat fast food?
I like Taco Bell for some reason. I think it’s because when I was a kid no one else in my family liked Taco Bell so I almost never got to have it and it was a treat when I did get it.

Iceberg lettuce or romaine?
Depends of what I’m making with it. A chef salad I prefer iceberg, but in a Caesar Salad I gotta have the romaine. On a burger I like iceberg. In tacos I like ‘em both but shredded real fine.

How often do you get pizza from a pizza restaurant, either delivered, take home, or eat-in?
We’re pretty lucky to have two very good local pizzerias in our town and we will alternate between them when ordering. But we only do that about once a month or two. I’ll “doctor” up a frozen pizza and make it here at home most of the time.

Do you take vitamins?
Yes but it’s just a daily vitamin with trace minerals.

How old do you feel in your mind?
Pretty close to my real age of 37 years. Maybe on a good day I feel about 30-ish.

Are you good at home repairs?
Most of the time I’m fully capable of doing whatever repair is needed, with the exception of the electrical stuff. That’s just something I don’t have enough knowledge of and it HURTS to get jolted… I know!

Are you a perfectionist?
Only on some things, but I tend to think of myself as anal retentive on those subject instead of perfectionist. Besides, my dad once said, “The only time a human will ever achieve perfection is when they are perfectly dead. So don’t strive for perfection!”

Do you routinely buy potato or other chips to eat at home?

Usually it’s the store brand of plain potato chips. But I love tortilla chips and cheese heated in the microwave, so we usually have a big bag of those in the house too.

Do you buy store cookies or cakes?
Nope. Well, I’ll take that back because I do love the Double Stuff Oreos…

AND jondude’s ADDITION TO THIS LIST:

Do you have a favorite cuisine?
Not really. I like what I like and it doesn’t have to come from one region or another. Most of the things that I like tend to be mix-ups of two or more cuisines, or take-offs on a theme.
