1. What’s the last thing you ate?
Ice cream, I think, last night.
2. What’s your favourite cheese?
Pepper jack.
3. What’s your favourite fish?
Salmon.
4. What’s your favourite fruit?
Pineapple, even though it hurts my mouth to eat it raw.
5. When, if ever, did you start liking olives?
I’m pretty sure I’ve always liked olives -- at least, the black ones. I used to take them from salad bars and eat them by themselves when I was little. Green olives are okay. I dislike Kalamata olives, though.
6. When, if ever, did you start liking beer?
Probably like, after I turned 21. I disliked it for a long time until I tried things other than my mother’s Coors Light.
7. When, if ever, did you start liking shellfish?
I’m pretty sure I’ve always liked shellfish, too. I don’t understand how people can not like crabs?
8. What was the best thing your mom/dad/guardian used to make?
Uh. Nothing, really. My parents are pretty terrible cooks. Do cookies count? Because I can make those, too.
9. What’s the native specialty of your hometown?
I don’t know. Scrapple? Delaware doesn’t have a lot of “native specialties.” Apparently muskrat is a thing that people eat there, even though I lived there until I was 24 and never once encountered it (thankfully).
10. What’s your comfort food?
Goldfish, or peanut butter Captain Crunch. Also peanut butter M&Ms. And Reese’s.
11. What’s your favourite type of chocolate?
Milk.
12. How do you like your steak?
Medium rare. I thought I didn’t like steak for basically my entire life because I only ever had it more well done.
13. How do you like your burger?
Medium, I guess? I’ve never really compared.
14. How do you like your eggs?
Over easy, and preferably atop hash browns.
15. How do you like your potatoes?
Fried and crispy. Mashed potatoes are good, too, though.
16. How do you take your coffee?
With flavored creamer, or cream and sugar if it’s just regular cream.
17. How do you take your tea?
Depends on the kind of tea. I like iced green tea, but only if it isn’t bitter -- so like, not from a teabag. And hot tea is okay, but I mostly just drink that to help with my throat or to relax; I don’t really love the taste, or anything. When I do drink it, though, I just drink it plain -- with the exception of some honey if I feel really bad, but again, that’s less for the taste and more for the effects.
18. What’s your favourite mug?
A fox-shaped one that I got as a gift.
19. What’s your biscuit or cookie of choice?
Peanut butter chocolate chip.
20. What’s your ideal breakfast?
Uhh. Depends on my mood, I guess. But there’s a place in Haines City that has these apple cinnamon waffles that are pretty amazing.
21. What’s your ideal sandwich?
Those Italian, oven-baked sandwiches from Domino’s. They are amazing. Turkey clubs are great, too.
22. What’s your ideal pizza:
Light sauce with pineapple and jalapeno. Red Baron’s frozen Mexican pizza is awesome, as well.
23. What’s your ideal pie (sweet or savoury)?
Pumpkin -- sweet. I wholly prefer sweet pie to savory.
24. What’s your ideal salad?
The one you get at Olive Garden. That’s the only salad I can actually get excited about. Oh, or black bean and corn salad, oh my god.
25. What food do you always like to have in the fridge?
Something easily accessible. It’s not a “food,” but I always like to have soda. And onions, preferably red.
26. What food do you always like to have in the freezer?
Again, something easy to make. Oh, and burgers.
27. What food do you always like to have in the cupboard?
Goldfish, cereal, candy, coffee.
28. What spices can you not live without?
Salt is the only one I could probably actually not go without, but cilantro and cayenne are pretty excellent, too.
29. What sauces can you not live without?
Eh. I can live without most sauce -- I prefer things to be more dry. Does salsa count as sauce? I tend to miss that when I don’t have it.
30. Where do you buy most of your food?
Walmart. It’s right across the street, and it’s cheap. But we also go to Publix pretty often, too.
31. How often do you go food shopping?
Usually about once a week, but it depends on when Jeremy’s and my schedules line up and when we start to run out of food.
33. What’s the most expensive piece of kitchen equipment you own?
...I’m drawing a blank. Jeremy’s dad got us a frappuccino maker that we’ve never used in the pantry. Oh, there’s a Keurig in the closet, but it doesn’t work. Does that count? I mean, we have a microwave and an oven, but we don’t own those. Maybe the toaster oven?
34. What’s the last piece of equipment you bought for your kitchen?
A coffee maker, when the Keurig stopped working.
35. What piece of kitchen equipment could you not live without?
The microwave, without a doubt.
36. How many times a week/month do you cook from raw ingredients?
Me personally, never. Jeremy, for both of us to eat...probably a few times a month.
37. What’s the last thing you cooked from raw ingredients?
Chicken enchilada casserole. It wasn’t very good, which is why I don’t cook.
38. What meats have you eaten besides cow, pig and poultry?
Lamb and deer are the only two I can think of. They have a lot of alligator down here in Florida, though, and I’ve been meaning to try that. Oh, I tried frog once, and it was awful -- but granted, it was at a pretty awful restaurant.
39. What’s the last time you ate something that had fallen on the floor?
Yesterday, a walnut fell onto the kitchen counter and I still put it in my ice cream. I probably ate something off the floor yesterday, too. It happens.
40. What’s the last time you ate something you’d picked in the wild?
Years and years ago, when my friends and I went cherry-picking.
41. Arrange the following in order of preference: Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Sushi –
Sushi, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Italian, Indian. Although, I’ve only ever had Indian food once, and nothing there was very good except the naan. So maybe that place just wasn’t very good.
42. Arrange the following in order of preference: Vodka, Whiskey, Brandy, Rum –
I haven’t had brandy in a while and I don’t really remember what it tastes like, so I’m going to leave that out of the equation. But probably rum, whiskey, vodka, although I like all three pretty well.
43. Arrange the following in order of preference: Garlic, Basil, Caramel, Lime, Mint, Ginger, Aniseed –
I’ve never had aniseed. But otherwise -- lime, garlic, ginger, mint (as long as it’s in dessert), basil, caramel. If the mint is in something savory, then it goes at the very bottom; I really hate mint in savory things.
44. Arrange the following in order of preference: Pineapple, Orange, Apple, Strawberry, Cherry, Watermelon, Banana. –
Pineapple, orange, strawberry, apple, banana, cherry, watermelon.
45. Bread and spread:
What? Like, my favorites? I like pumpernickel bread, and...I don’t know. Mayonnaise? That chili spread -- the famous one with the rooster -- is pretty good, too.
46. What’s your fast food restaurant of choice, and what do you usually order?
Probably Popeye’s -- spicy chicken, usually tenders, with red beans and rice.
47. Pick a city. What are the best dining experiences you’ve had in that city?
Uh. Newark, in Delaware, has this pretty great Japanese buffet.
48. What’s your choice of tipple at the end of a long day?
What’s a tipple?
49. What’s the next thing you’ll eat?
I’m not sure. I might eat some cereal or Goldfish or something before work.
50. Are you hungry now?
Sort of, but I don’t know what I want.
51. Do you eat your breakfast everyday?
No. I’m never hungry when I wake up; I have to force myself to eat, like, a granola bar when I go to work.
52. At what time do you have breakfast?
Whenever I get up and feel like it.
53. At what time do you have lunch?
Whenever they give it to me at work, or just...whenever Jeremy and I get hungry.
54. What do you have for lunch?
Different stuff. Usually burgers, hot dogs, fries -- something easy.
55. At what time do you have dinner?
When I get home from work, so usually around 9:30-10.
56. What do you have for dinner?
Again, different stuff.
57. Do you light candles during dinner?
No.
58. How many chairs are there in your dining room and who sits in the main chair?
There isn’t a dining room in our apartment, but there’s a table in the corner with four chairs. There isn’t a “main” chair; they’re all the same.
59. Do you eat and drink using your right hand or the left one?
Right, usually.
61. Mention the veggies that you like most:
Pickles, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes.
62. What fruit and vegetable do you like the least?
Cantaloupe is my absolute least favorite fruit -- I can’t stand the taste. And my least favorite vegetable...probably Brussels sprouts.
63. You like your fruit salad to have more:
Uhh. I haven’t had fruit salad in a long time. I guess strawberries?
64. You prefer your vegetable salad to contain more:
Tomatoes.
65. What’s your favourite sandwich spread?
Oh, I answered this earlier -- mayo or that chili spread. Admittedly, though, I haven’t had very many sandwich spreads.
66. What’s your favourite chocolate bar?
Crunch.
67. What’s your favourite dessert?
Peanut butter brownie sundaes.
68. What’s your favourite drink?
I don’t know. I’ve been in a weird drink place lately where I don’t know what I want. Margaritas are pretty great, though.
69. What’s your favourite snack?
Goldfish.
70. What’s your favourite bubble gum flavour?
Just like, wintergreen, probably, or spearmint. I like lemony ones, too. They used to have a strawberry lemonade one that was really good -- I don’t know if it still exists. But I’m not a big fan of gum, and my teeth have like, no enamel, so I never chew it. Oh, I used to like Juicy Fruit a lot when I was little.
71. What’s your favourite ice cream flavour?
Green tea. I can only ever find it from Haagen-Dazs at some Publix. Oh, and brown sugar. Baskin Robbins has one that has brown sugar in it and it’s fucking incredible, but I’m pretty sure it’s seasonal.
72. What’s your favourite potato chip flavour?
Sour cream and onion, or just regular.
73. What’s your favourite soup?
Chicken tortilla.
74. What’s your favourite pizza?
Jalapeno and pineapple.
75. What’s your favourite type of dish?
Sushi, or Mexican.
76. What food do you hate?
Cantaloupe. Peas. Brussels sprouts. Oatmeal. Applesauce. Anything mushy like that. Oh, and oysters/clams. And frog.
77. What’s your favourite restaurant?
Hibachi.
78. Do you eat homemade food, food delivered from outside?
I eat both, but I prefer food that’s not homemade, usually.
80. Who cooks at home?
Jeremy.
81. What kind of diet (e.g. low-fat, high-fiber, high-carbohydrate, balanced diet etc.) do you have?
Uh. A really unhealthy, salty, fattening one.
82. How do you keep yourself fit?
I don’t.
