I shared this on social media and thought it would be fun to post it here too.
I know some people did a meme (does this count as a meme?) recently around blogland, but if you feel like doing another... feel free to hop on for the ride.
----------------
1. Who was the last TV personality you thought was HOT?
Mae Martin on Feel Good. Her body-type is exactly what I look for when I'm in girl-mode. (Also, I thought it was a good series - I can definitely identify with having manic mental episodes. I just binge watched both seasons this weekend.)
2. How do you feel right now?
I'm gonna go the physical route - I feel soft and flabby. Need. Exercise. Soon.
AND ALSO - my upper body muscles are aching from balancing myself over Roger during yesterday's festivities... goes to show how deconditioned I am right now. 3. What have you discovered about yourself in the last year?
I've discovered I'm not a plant killer after all. I'm really happy about that.
4. What's your favourite soda?
I love Mountain Dew. If you had to have only one soda (yes yes I know, HFCS blah blah) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
5. What's a local food that you really enjoy?
Of all the kinds of breads I've tried, I really like the soft buns with stuff in them that comes from our local bakeries best. I wonder if they have these types of buns in the Western world.
They come in both sweet and savoury options, and the most common are BBQ pork, hot dog sausage, tuna mayo, egg mayo, chicken pie filling, curry potato/chicken, while sweet ones tend to be red bean paste, coffee or vanilla or custard cream, or sometimes they're topped with peaches or other fruit like a tart, except instead of a tart crust it's a soft fluffy bun. Another very popular one is pizza bread. Basically it's any combo of sausage, capsicum, pineapple, cheese and tomato sauce on top of bread instead of pizza dough, and often found with mayo drizzled over the top!
Oh, wait. I just realised. They're really all just tarts, pies, danishes, pizzas and croissants that have all been swapped out for buns. Soft, fluffy, slightly sugar-glazed, shiny buns. Yum.
6. The one snack you will die without is -
I really, REALLY love potato chips. Like really. But you already know this!

Interesting. It's short so I may do this one myself on my blog. Your #3 made me smile....kind of proudly actually. Welcome to the non-plant-killing side of humanity. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL Thank you. I'm glad to be over on *this* side of the garden fence :)
DeleteHi Fondles, loved reading your answers. No 2 made me giggle and No 5 made me hungry lol. I hadn't Feel Good. You're turning into a good plant mama yourself:)

Thank you thank you! I've gone a bit crazy. But it's hard not to get carried away when there are so many cheap cover pots and pretty nursery pots to be had for mere cents!
DeleteI'm sitting here giggling over the sore muscles from your balancing act - we are about to move from the TV room to the bedroom - after weeks and weeks of celibacy I am wondering if my muscles will ache tomorrow too (cheeky grin) I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteHURRAY! I hope you have sore muscles from the *right* sort of activities :D
DeleteMae Martin did an amazing radio comedy series, for BBC radio 4, a while back now. I had totally forgotten about it, until you mentioned her here. I might have to go and find it again
ReplyDeletePrefectdt
Ah, I hadn't seen her before this series. I might check out some of her other work.
DeleteYour "can't live without" soda is the one kind I absolutely can't stand. *laugh*
ReplyDeleteBut those stuffed bun treats sound delicious -- we have piroshki bakeries where I live, which may be similar -- and anything 'pizza' is always going to be good as far as I'm concerned. :)
Haha you would love our super cheap super accessible pizza breads then. About a dollar each, I would say.
DeleteAnd yes, I think piroshki bakeries are similar, except from what I read online they're mostly pies? More pastry than bread no?
My favorite soft drink is one you've never heard of - Sundrop! It very similar to Mt. Dew (but much better to me, not quite as sweet.) Sundrop and potato chips make for a fantastic afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIf it's anything like mt dew, then i am already sold on an afternoon of that plus chips! YUMS!
DeleteI'm intrigued by the buns. Some of them sound like our Tim Horton's filled doughnuts. Pizza buns? Give me a dozen!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Hermione
Oh we have filled donuts here too, YUM! These are less dough-y, and more like the japanese / korean "snack breads" that are filled with savoury delights. Think spam, bits of corned beef, stewed chicken. Like a meal in your pocket! Heck I've even seen a spinach and cheese melt bun!
DeleteI'm surprised by the Mountain Dew actually. I've heard that is the worse soda to drink (not that any soda is good for you to begin with). You didn't strike me as a serious sod drinker.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Enzo
LOL, i'm NOT a huge soda drinker. But if I had to pick one, this would be it. Cos I really really DO like it. I just choose NOT to have sodas in general cos it's so shitty for your body.
DeleteI do cave every now and then tho.
