Why thanks! I will take that as a compliment.
Is Gail me? Or is Cynthia? C'mon, Sal-pal, we need to know!
do you all get together and pleasure each other in person as much as you do in here?

Okay then!
1. For the next two weeks my favourite colour is Green and Gold. You can't separate them and there are no other colours worth watching.
2. I am a gooie caramel or honey with nuts ice cream sort of girl. I only recently developed a taste for ice cream. Now I can't get enough!
3. I have to have a cone. It has to be fresh though. I don't like my cone soft and soggie. Blah!

Do you ever notice that your water (so they say) goes counter-clockwise down the drain?
When you go out for breakfast, would you prefer to have toast or pankakes?
Do you call them pancakes in Australia?
What do you put on your pancakes?
Do you like alcohol?

WAKE UP EMILY!
I'm awake!No, I've never met Evie in real life. My only 'know in real life' GR friend is Kerry.
I've never noticed which-wise way the water goes down the drain, but I'll investigate this further for you ;)
I would have toast with poached eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach. I rarely have pancakes (& yes we call them pancakes) since I don't eat sweets.
I particularly like wine, usually red. I don't drink brown spirits (bad teenage experience).
Huh, what do you know - the water does go anti-clockwise down the drain in Oz.
Mod
I like poached eggs too. Do you ever order them basted instead?
So you don't like sweets. That was going to be my next question. So...you like savory instead of sweet? What about cake? pie? pudding?
Would you rather have sharp cheddar or blue cheese?
Do you like salad? How about asparagus? does it make your pee stinky?
Do you have kids? Or are you a kid? Who do you live with?
Do you like to check the mail? Or do you prefer that someone else sorts out all the rifraff for you?
I call it Oz, some people call it Down Under or Aussie (usually followed by Oi! Oi! Oi!).I get poached eggs when I go out for breakfast because I'm useless at poaching them myself. At home I scramble or fry.
Definitely savory over sweet, I might have a piece of cake once every 6 months or so.
I love all cheeses so I'm going to have to go with my mood. This morning it would be sharp cheddar. Enjoy salads and asparagus, and I've never noticed it make any difference to my pee.
I have no kids, I live with my husband and three fish. We're planning on getting dogs later this year.
Mr Em brings in the mail (he's home from work earlier than me) and then I deal with it.
Phew!
*Hands Emily a nice cold glass of wine.* Cheers, you newbie!
*hands Emily another glass of wine*

And pudding. This is important. Butterscotch, vanilla, or chocolate?
Do you like jello? What about when stuff floats in it?
Ok. Now.
So how easily do you cry? Do you cry more for emotional or for physical reasons? That is, do you cry at sad commercials, or only when your femur is poking through the flesh of your thigh?
Did you enjoy school? What kind of grades did you get?
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
And finally, when you wake up in the morning do you like to drink coffee, tea, or brush your teeth and drink water?
Oh, and how many texts do you send on an average day?
*starts on second glass of wine and prepares for Q&A time*
I'm partial to a good spinach and ricotta pie (add some feta = even better). And on the sweet side I'm good with apple pie or apricot or blueberry, all of which I would prefer as a crumble.Pudding - only ever at xmas time when mum makes one and then it would be a very small piece, hopefully with a thrupence hiding inside.
Jello - no.
I cry more easily with a few wines in me ;) I'm more likely to cry for emotional reasons, physical pain is more inclined to make me swear. Sad commercials unlikely to make me teary but a good movie (or book) will take me there.
I strongly disliked school. I got really good marks (and promptly forgot most things once the tests were over). I went to three primary schools and three high schools. Once was because of a move, the rest were because I wanted to change and convinced my parents that was the best idea.
I wanted to be a primatologist. Then I wanted to be an anthropologist.
When I wake up I shower and brush my teeth. I like sleep ins more than breakfast so I'm usually out the door before I drink anything.
I text Mr Em more than anyone else combined. I also sometimes need to text for work. Average weekday - 10 texts. Average weekend day - 0.5 texts.

Threepence? We only ever had sixpence or shillings. Threepence would have been swallowed, they were so tiny.

I'm not entirely sure of the exact denominations but I know mum has a collection of very old (very sterilised) coins which come out for the xmas pud. And they are definitely from the pence and shillings era...
They had to be the silver ones. My grandmother used to do the same. We would have to swap them for 10 cent and 5 cent pieces afterwards, so the silver coins could be reused for next year.
I do remember silver, and they were always returned for next year (the prize being good luck).
We always had a sixpence in our pudding.
Some of the Americans are thinking of nasty pudding (like they give you in the hospital) while the Aussies are talking Bread Pudding here.

Emily-do you paint your toenails? Do you file your finger nails? Do you get warts ever?
Have I asked you about swimming in the ocean?
What are you afraid of? Has it always been the same?
Do you have vivid dreams?
So, it is winter there. Do you wear long underwear? Homemade sweaters? Knee-high boots?
If given a three week all expenses paid vacation where would you like to go?
It's tradition to have coins in the xmas pudding, at least when the pudding is home made. There's no duty when you find one, just good luck and in the old days a coin to keep.I don't paint my toe nails. I periodically cut and file my finger nails when they get long and annoy me. Never had warts.
I love the ocean but I'm more of a floater than a swimmer, so I usually look for relatively passive waters. Mr Em is the swimmer and general water baby in our family.
I'm afraid of living with regret, I think I've always had that. When I was a kid I used to be afraid of people breaking in the house, I'd get up in the middle of the night and check all the doors and windows were locked.
I have pretty vivid dreams and a lot of recurrent dreams, or dreams that take place in the same dream places.
It is winter, and I'm down south so it's fairly cold. Although it's also Melbourne so the weather tries on a few different seasons most days. I don't have long underwear or homemade sweaters, but I do have knee high boots and big scarves.
Possibly Vanuatu or maybe Tuscany. Somewhere warm, beautiful and relaxed with lots of good food and atmosphere.
I'd say, when people get together and cook a dish or two each and taste the finished food.
Cigar to Evie! Love a good cook off :)
People do that? I mean, I've WATCHED it on Iron Chef, but I've never actually DONE it.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Come out for our chili cook off. Note that booze costs more than the chili. http://events.sanluisobispo.com/crest...
Bit of a hike for me, Cheri. :)
The guy who operates the coffee stand at the train station I use to commute to work, chats to me while he makes my brew. He told me that he loves food and cooking it.
Once a month he and a male friend have a cook off. They go to the farmers market and stock up on fresh produce of their choice, then they then go to their own homes and cook up a dish or two.
The next day they get together for lunch with their families and eat what they have cooked. .
Well, our cook offs are a lot more relaxed than the iron chef. They generally involve lots of tastings, nice wine, good music and plenty of laughs :)
Love a good farmers market! Sounds perfect.
Good morning Emily. How's the weather down there in Melbourne today?
A little on the grey side this morning, but I'm all good with that because the weekend should be beautiful :)
Give it a couple of hours and see what happens. It's raining here.
Clearly you're familiar with Melbourne's weather habits ;)
