Bipolar Questions #6

winter time. with me it's usually a lot worse in summer, a lot better in winter
however that said: most of my sui attempts have also been in the winter months so hmm.

I will stick with winter though.

who did you talk to last? (either face to face, or on the phone)

Nice woman at the grocery.

Like chanterelles?

Yes, but not as much as my European husband. I tend to prefer the more woodsy and meaty mushrooms. Chanterelles are lovely, though. When I have purchased them (expensive and sometimes hard to find) I usually make them in eggs or a veal dish. My husband once ordered a dish in the Alsace region of France, years back, where they were sauteed with calves kidneys and then flambeed with Cognac. I'm not a fan of kidneys, and it's next to impossible to find them for sale in stores near me. Mushroom picking, in general, is also much more common in my husband's native country. He knows how to identify a number of them in the wild, but I don't. Maybe I'll have some chanterelles in about a month or so, since we're going to France, Spain, and Czech Republic. I hope.

What is the fanciest (or oddest) meal that you have ever had?

kangaroo burger. during a reality tv series, one of the supermarkets sold it for the duration of the show (it was sponsored by that supermarket). they also sold crocodile, but I didn't brave that one.

longest you have ever queued for something?

Not that very long, considering how some people wait and even camp out for certain things. I guess the longest I remember was close to an hour. I was only a teenager and went to see the movie Amadeus with my parents. Perhaps there was some other long line (we call it "line" where I am), but I'm forgetting it. Well, maybe some of the lines in airports have been pretty long.

What was one of your favorite vacations (holidays) ever?

UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Greece w best bud after college.

Fave pasta?

I don't like it

when it comes to italian food, I'll stick to my pizza.

Croquette

Favourite concert you have been to?

Paul McCartney but Elton John was a close second

Favorite sandwich?

bacon in toasty bread. I don't have it often, but when I do: MM M

cerial or toast (or a diffrent breakfast item.)

Unfortunately, my favorite breakfast items are the much higher calorie and fat pastries. I'm on a diet now so have been avoiding them. But as for cereal or toast, I like them both equally, but don't like all cereals. Just some.

Are you afraid of most bugs or only the ones that are truly a bit dangerous or harmful?

Kind of afraid of spiders and wasps.

Favorite fruit?

grapes.

most interesting fact that you know?

The Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) is believed to be the fastest bird in the world relative to its size, and can reach speeds of 50 mph (80 kph), or nearly 385 body lengths per second. The Bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest bird in the world at 5 cm and weighing only 2 grams. Hummingbirds rock!

If you could be a bird, what kind of bird would you like to be?

A dove for their peaceful connotation.
