1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?<\/b>
\nI used to drink tap water, until I realized how crappy it was, at least in the Big City. Actually it was my younger brother who first showed me the benefits of the Brita Jug<\/a>. But then at the time he was living in Lindsay on the banks of the Scugog River, known locally as the “Scumbog River”! I now have a drinking water tap installed in my kitchen, so I don’t have to use the jug anymore.<\/p>\n

2. What are your favourite flavors of chips?<\/b>
\nTostitos® Restaurant Style with Hint of Lime<\/i> Tortilla Chips. These are so good that I called the Frito-Lay<\/a>Consumer Response Centre at 1-800-376-2257 to say how much I liked them… and they sent me $3 worth of coupons!<\/p>\n

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?<\/b>
\nThat’s a tough one because I’m such a great cook! 8-)<\/code> But the one dish I usually “make to impress a new woman in my life” is my Chicken a l’Orange<\/i>.<\/p>\n

4. How do you have your eggs?<\/b>
\nI rarely eat eggs these days, so it’s hard to say how I have them. The last eggs I ate were soft-boiled.<\/p>\n

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?<\/b>
\n“My New Friend.” She made a vegetarian creole\/gumbo\/perloo, a recipe she was trying for the first time. She made such a production of it, worrying about the measurements and ingredients and so on, that it was fun watching her cook! I helped, too. And it turned out quite good.<\/p>\n

(As for “My New Friend”, we have an All-Day Date tomorrow: driving all over the countryside hunting for plants for my garden, checking out the yard, maybe doing some clean up, some dinner, and dancing later… I might even take her to “a goth club”! I’ll let you know how it goes, and will introduce you to her if it seems like it might be going somewhere!)<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
