While I work on reading this new book, Ms. C over at Coffee Tale Reviews has pulled me into a game of blog tag and I kind of have the mentality of a small child so I love games! So you're supposed to answer the questions below and then tag some of your favorite bloggers. And as Ms. C said, if you don't want to play, no worries. Just know that I'm a big fan of your blog.
- Milk or dark chocolate? Dark. I really don't like milk chocolate unless there's a fair amount of other flavors to temper it. I'm not a fan of milk in general so I guess this makes sense.
- What's your favorite color? Currently green in all sorts of shades, especially bright ones. I used to have a lime green phone that I may have selected mostly based on the color. I'm easily impressed like that.
- Do you have any creative hobbies? It's sad how little creative work I do now. I used to do a lot of photography and drawing but I haven't done either in awhile. I did just recently buy a DSLR camera in the hopes of getting back into photography. I figure if I don't have darkroom access (because I'm too lazy to find some) I can still play with some nice digital photos. And I suppose this blog can count as a creative hobby since I started it in an attempt to get back into writing.
- What was your favorite subject in school? English, but I suppose that isn't a surprise considering a) I got my degree in English and b) I write this book blog thing. I also enjoyed the photography classes I've taken but I gave math a lot of leeway to do it's own thing.
- What is your favorite season? Why? I used to always consider winter my favorite season because I loved how it looked and I was an avid snowboarder. I now haven't been snowboarding in roughly the last 6 years and I have to walk a portion of my way to work which means I kind of hate winter now. That's probably too strong of a word, but I'm sure once winter comes to Boston again I won't think so. For now it's fall. I like when it's not too hot (I'm too pale for the sun) but it's not freezing either. And fall has Halloween and Thanksgiving and since I'm a big fan of food, these are 2 of my favorite holidays.
- Who inspires you to sing like crazy when nobody is around? Pretty much any song I know at least a portion of the lyrics to inspires me to sing like crazy and people can be around. I have no problem belting out songs with close friends or Boyfriend nearby, looking at me like I'm nuts. We've had the Broadway version of American Idiot in the car that I love singing along to and we recently added an 80s CD (new wave & hair bands) so I've been going to town on that one too. What's more fun than belting out "You Give Love a Bad Name?"
- What's your favorite dessert? Can you make it? I don't really have one favorite, go-to dessert. I really like panna cotta and bread pudding, neither of which I've ever tried to make so who knows how it would go. This question is making me think about desserts I can make and I just realized I have a recipe for key-lime raspberry bars with a coconut shortbread crust that I want to make again. So I didn't answer the question but I did think of something to do this weekend. Assuming I can find where I put that recipe.
- How did you learn to cook? Cook by watching my dad and grandma, bake by watching my mom and other grandma. A couple of my friends are amazing cooks as well but I don't know if I really learn from them so much as sit in wonder while they buzz around the kitchen. I used to look through my friend's books when he was in cooking school and I thought they were very interesting if way over my head. I'll let him do all the heavy culinary lifting
