Box meme part II
Oct. 29th, 2005 06:53 pmFinished my errands. Made some chocolate covered coconut macaroons. Bought the macaroons from a bakery, then mixed chocolate chips with half-half crème and heated, makes a nice chocolate dipping sauce – amount of milk added determines thickness. Used it on small bowl of Breyer’s vanilla ice cream and raspberries. For dinner last night concocted an interesting dish – due to the fact that I’d forgotten some ingredients. Bought coconut milk but forgot green curry past and no time to get it, also had cold rice pasta, chicken, Portobello mushrooms and snow peas to do something with. Decided to use cayenne pepper instead of green curry paste, and soy sauce (found some gluten free made by Tamaric). Mixed a pinch of cayenne pepper, a pinch of soy, some lemon grass, a little parsley seasoning with coconut milk – coated chicken, put it in skillet. Then added more coconut milk, which I watered down, added snow peas and scallions and Portobello mushrooms, let simmer for a little while, took off when the snow peas were done, then poured over thin rice noodles. Quite tasty. I like to cook but am weird about cooking for other people. I fear their reactions. People are so critical. If I could cook or fix something for them but not tell them I did it, until after the fact – maybe which would work? I told this to Wales who was surprised – “that’s so ironic”. Why? I asked. “Because you’re such a great cook, I’d think you’d be fine doing it for others.”
Day still gloomy, with the sun forcing itself through the black gray clouds intermittently, reminding me, hey I’m here – you can’t block me out for long!
Have decided to do the rest of my box meme, for good or ill.
The box meme part II.
( “listening )
( “food” )
( “Liberal )
14. Religious belief (not to be confused with heritage: ie. Are you practicing a religion and do you believe in God?)
( “god” )
15. Sexual Orientation
( “sexual )
16. Sports/Athletic Pursuits (what you watch, what you play, how much time you put into watching, do you bet on them)
( sports )
17. Married or single – Single. Importance? 0, except of course if I'm physically attracted to you, than a 10, nothing turns me off quicker than someone who is married. Rule - will not ever date a married man or a man who is romantically attached to someone else. Too painful and masochistic.
18. Do you drink (alcohol)? Socially? Extensively? Alone? Not at all? – Occasionally and mainly socially. Like the taste of alcohol and enjoy it. But rarely drink much any more since most wines, beers, and mixed drinks give me wicked heartburn.
19. Smoke or don’t smoke? Don’t. But don’t care if others do too much. Am allergic but not painfully so. Also, one of my closest friends smokes and I’d rather put up with her filthy habit than not see her at all. I get how she’s addicted and how hard it is to stop. She’s tried, since I’ve known her, 30 times, and literally tried everything under the sun. Nicotine ain’t an easy thing to go off. Importance? 8, Since allergic. But am tolerant.
20. Fashion or Favorite Clothes (do you pay attention to fashion? Are you a shopper?)
Not a shopper. Like clothes, but not into fashion. Like clothes that are simple, tailored, comfortable and not too flashy. Hate to stand out. Like color. Splashes of it. Am somewhat artistic about clothing. Do not like accessories – get in my way. When it comes to shoes and clothing – I’d describe myself as pragmatic and conservative. Also hate spending tons of money, but would rather spend money on something nice, tailored, comfortable than buy something at a thrift store that I need to get tailored or cleaned or is fits oddly. So am picky. Very picky. Also very sensitive skin, can’t stand wool for instance. Importance? 1.
21. Current Abode – home you live in (apartment, house, boat, trailer) and where
One bedroom apartment, 3rd floor of a brownstone in Brooklyn, NY. Right now electricity is doing wonky things, TV keeps flipping on and off, lights flip on and off, refrigerator roars then quiets. Must speak to landlord. The folks renovating the downstairs apartment have either done something wonky with the wiring or there’s a ghost. Importance? 7. I care where I live. But don’t really care where you live, if that makes sense.
22. What state or country or territory do you currently live in? What village, city, suburb?
Brooklyn, NY. City. Part of NYC. Biggest borough of the five boroughs. Street residential and tree lined, walking distance to everything more or less. Importance?8, see above. Oh and it does make a difference, since I’m not a huge traveler. Love being at the destination, not overly fond of the ordeal of getting there and back. Logistics man, they are killer.
23. Children ? (Do you have them, how many, do you plan on having them, how do you feel about them? )
( “kids” )
24. Occupation Currently Have and Occupation Currently Dream of. (Can be one and the same)
( “occupation” )
25. What do you fear?
( “fear” )
