This is a rather odd set of questions, stolen from
MimiWrites
(Thanks for the suggestion from The Gal Herself)
1. How many gravy
boats do you have in your kitchen? Just
the one. White. Like all our other dishes. I love the look of food against a pure white,
plain jane dish. We get ours at Cost
Plus World Market and Target.
2. Do the clothes in your laundry basket need ironing? Bahahahaha.
I own an iron, but can’t recall the last time I personally used it. Hubs send his pants to the cleaners. I should just donate or curb alert the darn
thing, and the board too!
3. What is the last thing you wallpapered? I have never wallpapered, and never
shall.
4. Wooden floors or
carpet? Ugly ass carpet. Our house was a rental for its entire life,
until we rented, and then bought it. It
is the original berber carpet, and I am happy to say, that shit is coming out
in the next few months to be replaced by lovely, easy to clean TILE.
5. Why do we put out
guest towels if no one is supposed to use them?
I have never owned a guest towel.
My gram did, and I never got it.
What the hell are you supposed to dry your hands on—those things had
lace and embroidery and stuff…
6. If your spatula
could talk, what would it say about your duvet? What duvet?
This is the best question ever in any meme, swear!
7. Have you replaced
the batteries in your smoke alarms this year?
We replaced all the smoke alarms.
They have about a 10 year life, so sayeth our handyman guy (something
about the isotope that detects smoke or some such). Ours were going off randomly and since they
are all hooked together, that was no Bueno.
Screeching fire alarms at 1 am, OMG!!!!!
Anyhow, we replaced them all, and it’s just LOVELY to not be constantly
wondering if the fire alarm is going to freak you out at any given moment. It was a bit terrifying though, since we have vaulted ceilings in most of the house and hubs was at the tippy top of a 15' ladder with a drill and... well he had to rest and let his heart rate come down after that, lol.
8. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first
thing that you'd like to do? Pour some
very good, very old aged white wine vinegar over it and use it for cooking. If I didn't have thyme or vinegar though, I'd get some of this amazing ramp vinegar from Lindera Farms. Daniel Liberson makes the best small batch vinegars and finishing salts....seriously, check out his page...
9. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous
breakdown? I’m voting for crack. If they had a nervous breakdown, they’d dissolve
into a puddle of egg goo.
10. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to
you? I don’t get whipped butter. What’s wrong with a perfectly good stick?
11. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever
noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters? I.just.can’t.
12. You hear: "Dumpling, my Dumpling, come
hither." The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is
pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing.....but wait, the
windows are open. Why did you close
them? The wind in New Mexico would blow
out the candles, spray fondue all over the room, cause the Godiva (ewww) to
turn to a Hershey bar, and make the scallions cold. Besides all the dust and sand that would blow
in. Better to close them.
13. Do you need a
recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef?
Always a recipe. I’m a
perfectionist with an OCD streak that keeps me terrified that I will make a
mistake. Better to just use a recipe.
14. Is your pot black?
Not a one.
15. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your
cabinet? What makes it so? Urfa Biber.
Just the sound of it.
