So I was interviewed by the very fun and witty Lemmonex and seeing as how I love a good quiz game I figured others might as well.  Rules are as follows:      

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions. Be sure you link back to the original post.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Question!

1. Your blog is pretty new.  What prompted you to start writing?

I’ve been writing for some time, but not anything in blog form.  I was losing the spark and I missed having fun writing.  My S.O. (significant other) thought I was nuts not to blog about the things I love talking about most: food, the shows I watch about food while eating food and all the bits in between.  I got started and I am really happy with how fun it’s been and getting to know other blog writers through their sites.

2. What is the worst kitchen disaster you have ever had?

Ugh.  I suppose the worst disaster didn’t actually ruin the food.  I was visiting a friend and got really drunk one night.  As we stumbled back to the house I realised that I wanted pancakes in the biggest way.  So pancakes I would have!!  I was too incoherent to remember if I had turned the burner on, so I tested how hot it was with my hand.  I am not so smart when there has been too much whiskey.  The next morning I was belching up maple syrup and wondering why I had a huge burn mark in the shape of a spiral on my palm.  I don’t think the pancakes were worth it seeing as how I don’t remember if they were good and that burn took two months to heal.

3. What is your favorite ingredient?

Hmmm.  I would love to say garlic since I put it in quite a lot of my food, but I don’t think it’s my favorite.  My favorite would have to be brown sugar.  Dark brown to be exact.  I use it in glazes, tomato sauces, oatmeal, tea, anywhere I can get away with it I suppose.  I was never into sugar until I started cooking and learned to use it in foods other then baked goods.

4. Name a hobby besides cooking, please.

Easy, karaoke.  I used to take voice lessons for years, but that is way too serious for something that is neither my career or something I am totally awesome at.  But I love the idea of singing for fun.  I don’t care if people are bad or great, there are some interesting characters at karaoke.  I sing a lot of country.  I relate to the depression and drinking.  And usually I tend to not suck it as bad singing country music. 

5. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I suppose I wish I could be really great at just one thing.  Like so many people I know, many of us are pretty good at a bunch of things.  I’m good at spelling, washing the dishes (seriously, I am efficient), playing the clarinet, sudoku, making chicken parmigiana.  But I wish I was great at just one thing, I mean REALLY great.  It doesn’t even matter what it is.  I guess it is just knowing that I am not just a hodge podge of all this “potential” and knowing where my true talent lies.  And if that talent happens to be duck calling then fucking rock and roll!!!  I would want to be the best duck caller I could be.
