The hell?Is that?
Something extremely fattening but oh so delicious. Aspic. Traditional Christmas food back home (Europe).
Poultry: Dark meat.
Bread: Soft. Homemade. Yeasty. More whole grain than not.
Rice: Depends on the application, although I'm not big on rice, overall.
Tea: For iced, Luzianne. For herbal, peppermint or jasmine. For cozies, Earl Grey (double bergamot if available), with milk and sugar.
Pizza: Cheese, all meat, or all veggie. The gourmet varieties are really good, in general. My fave is from a local place, and it's white sauce, provolone, feta, Monterey Jack, Romano and Swiss, with a sprinkle of rosemary. Often we add chicken and spinach. SO. GOOD. For a while, I was so sick of pizza, but I would love some now!
Wine: Malbec or, failing that, any robust red.
Coffee: Brewed strong, lots of white stuff, lightly sweet. Iced is also yummy.
Art: Hyperrealism, Post-Impressionism (<3 Van Gogh <3), Surrealism, or just whatever strikes my fancy. I like art that feels powerful, although that can mean different things and be felt in different ways. There was a French painter named William-Adolphe Bouguereau who painted exquisitely beautiful hands and feet (that is, he painted people, but the hands and feet were especially magnificent).
Actors: So many greats. TNTC.

What kind of rice do you prefer?
Brown rice but lately, I have been eating quinoa instead of rice. I like quinoa better than rice.
Do you like your bread crusty or soft?
I like crusty bread. The kind that when you bite into it, it doesn't want to tear loose.
Do you prefer dark meat or light with poultry meats?
Dark meat. I like roasted chicken thighs.

I prefer no meat. That's how I feel; it has no judgment whatsoever, except what apparently meat-eaters have placed there themselves.
All I have to do is mention I don't eat meat - no judgment there, it's a statement of fact - and I've had more meat-eaters than all the vegetarians in creation get angry with me. I've only had one vegetarian judge me for eating meat. I've had at least 25 people in the last month judge me for NOT doing so.
They don't think 'Well that's more for me to eat,' no. Apparently it's 'I have to be angry that you do this.' Well they're doing it to themselves because I've never done it.
In fact in one case, I even said aloud that "it's more meat for you." Didn't help.
Incidentally I'm not vegan. I eat eggs, drink milk and eat other milk products.
There's actually a reason for why I switched from eating meat to not consuming it, but it's way too personal and complicated to relate here what that health concern is.

Why people get all bent out of shape about the eating habits of others, something that is none of their business, I will never know. Anyway, I guess if you don't eat meat, the question would be: how firm do you like your tofu?
Iced coffee reminds me of this book I'm reading by R.L. Stine. His only book for adults, called 'Red Rain.' The character tastes his wife's coffee and says it needs more ice. She says "You know I don't like too much ice in it."
Something about it tickled me; anyway, this guy is hilarious. He can be talking about gruesome murders and all of a sudden put in a funny part right afterward.
I'm always really surprised when horror writers can be so hilarious.
Cream Cheese frosting on the fruitcake? Interesting.....
I remember Mr. King writing or saying (can't remember if it was in an article, foreword, or interview) something about horror and humor lying 'cheek and jowl' together. I guess he should know, because for as often as he's scared me, he's also made me laugh
Mz. Chef, what is a Chinese cut?

I like extra firm bc it has the most protein. It's also the most expensive. Anyway, I'd get tempeh if I could, bc it has more protein than all the tofus, but it's also so expensive you have to be a doctor to buy it.
Dang- I've only read the first page and there are way too many questions!
Rice and tea- allergic, so no favorites there
Coffee- can't stand the stuff
Pizza- my homemade with black olives and hamburger, occasionally some bacon to spice it up.
Soft bread unless I have soup or something to dip it in
I like white and dark meat

I'm not sure but I think in little triangles. Chinese Checkers are arranged in triangles. I'm just guessing.
The same cut you see in stir-fried vegetable. Slanted sorta instead of a virticle cut.
Poultry: White meat.
Bread: Soft. Unless crusty baguette No wheat , bleck.
Rice: Fluffy, unless it come with Chinese takeout, then it needs to be sticky for chopsticks.
Tea: Lipton hot or made into iced.
Pizza: White with veggies
Wine: Merlot, when I used to drink it.
Coffee: Whatever, cream and sugar.
Art: Rockwell, or Wyeth.
Actors: can't say, too many. Pacino in the first Godfather came first to mind.

Good gosh I meant verticle.
What is your favorite flavor Christmas jellies? Mine are the lime and next would be grapefruit. I love the ones shaped like citris fruits with rinds on them.
