Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 611 comments 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.

Depends what fruit lol


message 168: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 45 comments 18. Do you peel the skin off fruit before eating it?

Ditto Tara :P


message 169: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) 18. If the fruit has an inedible skin that requires peeling... I don't really have a taste for orange peel ;)


message 170: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (clarinetto14) | 35 comments 18. It really depends on the fruit... but I'll eat apples with the skin on.

19. Wine or beer? (or another sort of alcohol?)


I am not 18 yet, but I do like wine when my mum lets me have some :P :)


message 172: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 45 comments 19. Wine or beer? (or another sort of alcohol?)

I love Cider <3 :) :P :D


message 173: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 611 comments 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).


message 174: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (clarinetto14) | 35 comments 19. I don't drink alcohol


message 175: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) 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!


message 176: by Amber (new)

Amber (elfkingdom) | 74 comments 19. I don't drink alcohol. I just don't like the taste.

message 180: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 611 comments 20. The weirdest thing I've ever eaten would have to be finger biscuits (the kind you sometimes have in the jelly of a trifle) dipped in a combination of tomato sauce and squirty cream.

message 183: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 45 comments 21. What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever eaten?

Can't really remember, most recently I had an energy drink mixed with fanta which wasn't at all nice, then even more recently i again had fanta and it tasted like disinfectant would taste :/

23. Do you still have candles on your birthday cake?

I think i do :P


message 193: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) 23. Do you still have candles on your birthday cake?

No, I've never been a big fan of candles, even as a kids. I hate the way they melt all over the icing.


message 194: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 45 comments 23. Do you still have candles on your birthday cake?

Well, my last birthday, last monday, I didn't even get a cake I had to buy one myself and so no candles :(


message 195: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 611 comments 21. The most disgusting thing I've ever eaten would be crabs legs. Even before becoming a vegetarian I wasn't a big fan of seafood, but the one and only time I tried crabs legs I ouldn't even manage to choke them down.

22. Yes, I bake quite often. 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!

23. Yes, I still have candles on my birthday cake; it's not a proper birthday cake without them!


message 196: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (clarinetto14) | 35 comments 23. Of course I still have candles on my cake! :)
