OK, I have a couple of days to catch up on today...13. As a general rule I do the prep work and hubby does the cooking. I can do it myself, but it's my way of getting him involved in it. When it's baking rather than making dinner I do it all myself though.
14. On a lazy day we mostly have pizza, but that's not my preference. Personally I prefer Chinese, but hubby usually chooses so we end up with pizza.
15. My favourite place to eat out is a place called "The Love Cafe" which is a place near us that serves vegan and vegetarian meals made to order - as well as meat meals, in case you're wondering - using fresh ingredients. They're really friendly, happy to adapt meals to suit your preference, have decent portion sizes, and also are dog friendly, which is helpful for us since my dog suffers from seporation anxiety (meaning he can't be left home alone without becoming very stressed out; usually resulting in him getting in such a state he can't breathe). So we can go out for dinner without having to arrange a dog sitter, yet still avoid being forced to simply have take-away. We still don't go often though.
15. Do you have a favourite restaurant?A couple: The Tree Top, Joel's, Crocadillo's, Cactus Jacks, Luigi Malones, Eddie Rocket's Diner.
15. My favourite restaurant is Caffe Primo.
15. Do you have a favourite restaurantDon't really have a favourite anywhere that does decent food is good with me, I go to pubs a lot but guess that's not the same thing

Depends what fruit lol
18. Do you peel the skin off fruit before eating it? Ditto Tara :P
18. If the fruit has an inedible skin that requires peeling... I don't really have a taste for orange peel ;)
18. It really depends on the fruit... but I'll eat apples with the skin on.

I am not 18 yet, but I do like wine when my mum lets me have some :P :)
19. Wine or beer? (or another sort of alcohol?)I love Cider <3 :) :P :D
Sorry, got behind again. Anyway...16. I have a very sweet tooth. Thankfully though it's easily satisfied with fruit (like grapes and berries). Though I do admit I often reach for chocolate rather than fruit.
17. All of the above; I just like potatoes in general. My favourites are roasted or baked though.
18. I only remove the skin if it needs the skin removed, like banannas and that kind of thing.
19. I don't drink alcahol at all; haven't in a few years. When I did I used to prefer wine or baccardi breezers. Now when I go to a pub I drink Coca Cola or orange juice though (not that I go that often; it's not my thing).
17. How do you like your potatoes? Boiled, mashed, roasted, baked…?Roasted or mashed, never boiled or baked.
18. Do you peel the skin off fruit before eating it?
That depends on the fruit doesn't it? Apples no, bananas yes.
19. Wine or beer? (or another sort of alcohol?)
Beer. I gave up drinking wine years ago. Wine hangovers are the worst!
19. I don't drink alcohol. I just don't like the taste.

Most of the time I even make my own bread and such from scratch. Recently I've not been too well though, so I haven't done as much baking as normal. I love to bake though!
