Friday Feast No. 129

Appetizer
What was one of the fashion fads when you were a teenager?

    Oh, there were so many! The French-rolled jeans and the giant, cockatoo bangs; the flannel shirts and the Docs …

Soup
Name one thing you think people assume about you when they first meet you.

    I have no clue.

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how hard do you work?

    I think I could do a much better job. No, I know I could do a much better job. The part of my job that I enjoy — caring for and playing with Poppy — I don’t really count as “work.” The parts that I don’t care for so much — the cleaning of the house — I would probably get a 2 in.

Main Course
If you were given a free 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl to sell anything you currently own, what would you advertise?

    It would be great if we could get someone to take over the lease on our apartment. I’d like to move closer to town.

Dessert
Fill in the blank:

    I love to stay inside when it is cold out.

Friday Feast No. 127

Appetizer
Which television shows do you just refuse to miss?

    I won’t go so far as to say that I “refuse” to miss them, but I really enjoy “Gilmore Girls,” “My Name Is Earl” and “The Office.” I started watching “30 Rock” recently, too, and it’s been consistently funny. I’m looking forward to the return of “Lost,” even though I’m not holding out much hope that it’s going to get better.

Soup
Who did you last speak to on the telephone?

    My mother-in-law, Genia. She called last night to tell me that Pictsweet had responded to a letter we wrote about the declining quality of the tiny green peas. (My father-in-law is very serious about his tiny green peas.) Pictsweet sent them four coupons for free vegetables! In my eyes, they’ve redeemed themselves.

Salad
How many pillows do you keep on your bed?

    Four. Two for me, two for Rockford.

Main Course
Name one addition to your computer (software, hardware, etc.) that you’d love to have.

    I’d love to have a printer that consistently works.

Dessert
What is your favorite foreign food?

    I had some fantastic crab wontons last night. And Kung Pao Scallops. And tomorrow night we’re having bean nachoes, which is another of my favorites.
