Sunday Stealin' Meme


 


Here we are!  I'm killing time waiting for my husband to leave the 11 AM church service (I went to the 9 as he had to serve on the production team from 7:30 AM - 12:30 PM) so thought I'd participate in the Sunday Stealin' Meme.  You can learn more here. ..as well as link up there. 


1. What's your favorite animal? horses

2. What's your favorite book? That's a tough one cause I'm a book nerd but if I really can only choose one I'd say my fave classic is Les Miserables, my fave childhood classic is The Secret Garden and my fave contemporary fiction is a tie between Where the Crawdads Sing and The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. 

3. What's your favorite color? Cerulean Blue

4. What's your favorite dessert? Again, that's a tough one.  If you're talking chocolate, it would be Chocolate Mousse as in the real French kind, as in from Paris.  If you're talking summer, I'd say Mounds Soft Serve ice cream or peach cobbler. If you're talking winter, I'd say my famous chocoholic brownies or my banana nugget cookies. 

5. What's your favorite drink? If you mean non-alcoholic, then sparkling blackberry water or my homemade lemonade.  If you mean alcohol, then Riesling from Kanstantin Frank Winery in the Finger Lakes region of NY.  If you mean my fave drink to get moving? COFFEE

6. What's your favorite food? again, what category???  If Indian Food, then Aloo Matar and Chicken Tikka Masala.  If Thai, then Pad Thai with chicken.  If Italian, then Chicken and Spinach Ravioli.  If American, then a grilled bison burger and homemade roasted french fries with a tossed salad. If Japanese, then Udon with Chicken.  If you mean Mexican then Tostados with Chicken or just the beans.  If you mean French then Salade Nicoise

If you mean from the 1980s, then Dead Poets Society.  If you mean the 1990s then Schindler's List of Good Will Hunting. If you mean recently, then the musical Les Miserables or Where the Crawdads Sing.  If you mean overall, then Dead Poets Society. 

9. What's your favorite restaurant? Again, what kind???  If a fast food one, None. If a family style restaurant, then The Mercantile in Saratoga Springs. If for a date night with hubby, then Scarboroughs in our town of Latham. If you mean I need to pick one overall, then Sake.

14. What's your favorite sport to watch?  The NYC Ballet and the Moscow Ballet (and yes, I know most of you average Americans don't consider ballet a sport.  But trust me, I'm the mother of a dedicated ballerina and it IS a sport.).

Fun answers! Yes, ballerinas are definitely athletes. Have a good Sunday!

I would love to see The Moscow Ballet. They have been here where I live before, but we didn't make it. Maybe next time. Loved your answers! Have a nice day!

Your favorite sandwich is also my favorite except without mustard. I do not like mustard, mayo, tomatoes unless cooked, and raw onions. I love them sauteed or roasted, just not raw. I also love the show Friends. The Office is my favorite show, but Friends is right behind it. It was fun getting to know a bit more about you. Oh, and I also love avocado on toast and sometimes I add a fried egg and a few slices of prosciutto to make it extra fancy. And yes, two to three cups of coffee for me every morning - no sweetener, just a splash of plain milk or half and half. Have a great Sunday evening!

I may just poach your wine choice, as I'm an upstate kid who likes a good Riesling. And maybe your restaurant choices, none of which I've ever been to. But my wife and I TRY to have a date night once a month and we live in ALB, so...

Riesling is a good wine. I've tried the German version and it's very nice.

And I love chicken tikka masala too.

Bizarrely I haven't seen Schindler's List yet - how mad is that?

:o)

Cheers

Dead Poet's Society is a great movie. It sticks with me because I went to see it at the theater with my aunt, and when I came home it was to find my parents' house on fire. I saw it on July 9, 1989. Some things you just don't forget.
