pixiecrinkleWhat's the last thing you ate? Am eating lunch right now: tomato soup, tuna
salad and caesar salad.
What's your favourite cheese? I don't like a lot of cheeses, but light
swiss-types are good.
What's your favourite fish? All of them, since I started eating it again. But
probably salmon.
What's your favourite fruit? Banana!
When, if ever, did you start liking olives? I've never *not* liked olives.
When, if ever, did you start liking beer? Once I determined that price does
matter.
When, if ever, did you start liking shellfish? I loved shellfish of all types,
even raw oysters, as a child. However, I seem to have developed some sort of
allergy because now if I eat them I get very very sick.
What was the best thing your mum/dad/guardian used to make? My favorite dish
of my mother's was off the side of can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Lasagna
Roll-Ups. It's got cream cheese, broccoli, and marinara.
What's the native specialty of your home town? Columbus is often noted in

everything. Donato's Pizza, Wendy's and I believe White Castle all started
here.
What's your comfort food? Soup. Chocolate.
What's your favourite type of chocolate? The darker the better. I keep Dove
promises in my desk at work, but I love Cloud Nine's Chocolate Raspberry and
Lindt too.

meat over a decade ago, I would have answered the bloodier the better.
Shudder.

How do you like your eggs? OVer easy, with toast
How do you like your potatoes? French Fries, with tons of salt, vinegar and
ketchup.

partial to soy milk lattes.

sugar and cream to darjeeling or dark black teas.

out of whatever.

What's your ideal breakfast? French toast, fruit and yogurt

What food do you always like to have in the cupboard? canned tomatoes
What spices can you not live without? oregano, basil, garlic, curry, chili

What sauces can you not live without? I have more condiments than anyone in
the door of my fridge. I really like to have Asian and Indian spices on hand,
and have become partial to mixing coriander chutney into just about anything
lately.
Where do you buy most of your food? Kroger, though the opening of the Giant
Eagle down the street has sucked me in. Wild Oats too, and the North Market, not often enough..
How often do you go food shopping? Sometimes every day, sometimes once a
month.
What's the most you've spent on a single food item? I'm not sure. I don't buy
a huge amount of packaged stuff, so probably 20 bucks or so on a Tofurky once.
