Silvermoon Dragon has tagged me. For a...ahem...slightly naughty meme. I've always kept this blog on the 'clean' side, family-friendly.
Oh, what the heck. Here goes:
1. What food do you consider the best “date” food? In other words, what meal or food item do you think is sexiest to eat in the company of someone you would like to look sexy around?
For me, it's sushi. It's bite-sized, so you're not taking huge bites of something. Plus, there's that whole tactile-thing...
2. What well-known person would you like to share a meal with—with or without clothing. (saying whether or not clothes are involved is optional).
Uh...huh. Ok. I'm as straight as they come, but I think Nigella Lawson is about as sexy as sexy gets. Just the way she talks can be erotic. So, sure. I'd share a meal with her. Clothes on, though.
I suppose Kevin Conroy, too...he was the voice of Batman during the Bruce Timm years, and that voice? Oh, my.
3. What does your perfect breakfast-in-bed look like? (Food AND the details, please. Candles? Music? Flowers? Hot tub? Dancing girls?)
Breakfast in bed is, for me, a fantasy. I have to take a pill for my thyroid every day, and I take it first thing in the morning. After that...I have to wait at least an hour before I can eat!
But, for the meme's sake, I don't require much. Real, just-made croissants. Big mug of black tea. Maybe some fresh raspberries.
I guess I'm 'easy'. Get the dogs off the bed, maybe.
4. What do you consider the best application of whipped cream to be?
Uhhh...hot fudge sundaes?
5. Oh-God-No, Biff, the yacht is sinking! You are sent to the galley to retrieve the food. What luxury food items do you snatch first? The champagne? The caviar? Smoked Salmon? Truffles? Chocolate? Or something else?
The saffron and vanilla beans.
I'm so boring.

Our box of fresh produce was delivered today and in it was a real prize. Green garlic. Green garlic is a fresh, young, green onion-like vegetable. It is very mild and just epitomizes spring. It is only available for a short time, like many other spring...
- Tea, Take Two
This whole 'tea for dinner' thing is kind of taking off around here. Lots of lovely little bites, endless cups of tea. It's rather perfect, actually. Makes you sit and relax, whether you want to or not! Most recently, there were lots...
- Chocolate...all Chocolate
My Uncle Rick sent this to me, as an email quiz. After a quick look, I knew I had to share with you. I came out as #6. If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose? (Sorry, you can only pick one!) Pick your...

Just so happens, Jennifer set people straight on the whole crouton business the other day, so I don't have to. I love that post. Who other than a food blogger could get so heated about a crouton?? And I have to say, I wholeheartedly agree with her...
- Raspberry Jam
There was an abundance of raspberries at the market the (hmm, not sure you could call it a market, but it's the best I have!) the other day - naturally, I had to buy a lot and make jam! There's nothing better stirred into yoghurt or Tykmælk...
