Tagged Again
I was tagged once before where I got to make up my own [10] topics. This has a preset (a - z) topic list, so okay, I'll go 'round one more time.
• accent: As soon as I open my mouth, I'm always asked, "Do you come from New York?" I still have a New Yawk accent despite having lived here for the past 34 years, and having lived there for only three. Actually, it's a New Joisey accent; they're very similar.
• booze: Pinot Noir, or if we're talking spirits, a bourbon manhattan (straight up, hold the cherry).
• chore I hate: Laundry (Oh why did you have to remind me.)
• dogs/cats: Severe allergy to pet dander -- can only tolerate them for short periods. However, I identify with cats, the large jungle variety.
• essential electronics: Any electronic "toy" eventually becomes essential. The non-essential ones are those whose purchase I've not yet been able to justify.
• favorite perfume: Subtlety is the key. A little goes a very long way.
• gold/silver: Keep it simple. I pity the fool who thinks an abundance of jewelry is an attractive look.
• hometown: Philadelphia > Atlantic City > New York > San Francisco -- (San Francisco IS my hometown).
• insomnia: Never been a problem. I can sleep anytime, anywhere. Naps have become my new favorite pastime.
• job title: Jack of all trades, master of none ...but pretty good at several.
• kids: Love the concept, not very interested in the physical model until they're over 30.
• living arrangements: Okay, we're finished cuddling, now move over and let me sleep.
• most admired trait: My humor ...but only by those who "get me".
• number of sexual partners: It's not about quantity, (he says with a blush), it's about quality.
• overnight hospital stays: Two! One (in 1981) too embarrassing to talk about, and the second (in 2000), a collision with a blood clot.
• phobia: Acrophobia (fear of high places), or more accurately Catapedaphobia (fear of falling or jumping from high places).
• quote: "Use what you can and let the rest go by."
• religion: I understand its importance to many, but it, (the organized variety), does nothing for me. However there is my sense of spirituality which is, uhh, undefinable.
• siblings: Biological: none. My adopted family: three. (Don't ask, it'd take much to long to explain.)
• time I usually wake up: When the sunlight hits my face. If it's still dark, fuh-getta-bout-it.
• unusual talent: Ability to teach myself what I need to know to do what I want to do.
• vegetable I refuse to eat: Okra and asparagus.
• worst habit: Always making it "about me" ...but making great strides, if not at breaking the habit, at keeping it under control.
• exotic x-rays: MRI of my brain. They say that the brain is a "biggest" sex organ. Oh, that's, e"x"otic
• yummy foods I make: Broccoli and potato quiche; plum and white wine soup; zucchini muffins; carob and applesauce brownies; tomato and apple chutney.
• zodiac sign: Virgo - Born at 4:30:45 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) on September 16th, 1947 at Philadelphia General Hospital, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, in the fourth floor maternity wing on a rainy summer afternoon, after a lengthy labor of 36 hours during which...
Lee's already been tagged, Lillie tagged me, so that leaves Gloria-jean -- You're It! I won't tag Rodney 'cuz he's on hiatus. Besides, I tagged him before. I also tagged schaumi and meander the last time, so I won't tag them again ....unless they want to play. C'mon, why not? :)

oh my goodness...did you tag me? how does one do this? do i just fill in my own answers to the headings?
That's all there is to it ...and then you pass on the tag :-)
I'm salivating. You can cook for me any time, please!!
Plum & White Wine Soup! You have me intrigued! Is it sweet or savoury?
I think that for someone who is serious about cooking, living in San Francisco would be awesome. I'm sure there must be an awesome variety of fresh food available.
I lived in San Francisco one summer when I was in my twenties and I must say that I have lots of fond memories. It was a great city then, and I imagine it still is.
Lillie:
....when I cook. I like to, but don't always find the time. If I had the kitchen staff to clean up after me, I'd do it much more often :)
Lee:
It's a nice soup ...I like it lightly chilled. It's sweet, but with enough of a savory element to differentiate it from a dessert.
Gary:
Yes, the availability of fresh foods is really great. Having come from the East Coast where I'd never heard of romaine lettuce, I really enjoy the assortment. I'm not that "serious" about cooking, I just like to from time to time.
I miss the west coast and the incredible produce they have !!
Great blog babe!.
"gold/silver: Keep it simple. I pity the fool who thinks an abundance of jewelry is an attractive look."
nice mr. t reference! hahahahahahaha!
love your clever answers... i was the one who tagged lillie... both of you are too creative not to be tagged!
eeeee,
36 hour labor?
Sounds like your mama told you that story a whole lot :)
ps: i might play.....
Of course, I will ask: tell us about your adopted family?
Snow: Ahh, someone who gets me :)
Schaumi: "Told?" More like "casually mentioned" it ...whenever I was being less than cooperative.
Lillie:
It's not that big a deal, but a bit too detailed to include in this response. Tell you what, it'll be the subject of my next mid week jibe.
