Once again:

Today, I’ll also answer all of the food related questions that you guys asked me on my Questions Post!
(You can still leave me questions on that post. I’m going to answer them slowly in a series of posts, so you still have time.)

• Secret Agent Mama asked me, “What would you cook for me if I came to dinner?“

Mishi, you seem like a girl that would love to sit down and eat good lasagna with a friend, and honey, I make a killer one. It’s a big favorite for John and me.

Beloved Lasagna Recipe

Note: we LOVE garlic.  Anyone who doesn’t will need to cut down on it when you use the recipe. But for the record, if you do that, I so do not get you. Hehe.

SAM also asked me, “How do you take your coffee?”

I used to drink it with creamer only.  Nowadays I actually like it with a little Splenda, a load of creamer, and a dash of skim milk or half ‘n half.  Yes.  I’m weird.

And finally, from Secret Agent Mama, “What’s your favorite nut?”

This is tough, because I love nuts.  The kinds I buy most often, though, are Almonds and Walnuts, because they are better for you than others.  And between those two, the Almonds are the favorite.  And you, of course, Mishi.  You’re definitely a favorite nut of mine.

• Dawn asked me, “If you had to choose only one cheese to eat for a whole year, what would it be?” 

OH CRAP. That’s a really hard question for me, because I LOVE cheese! Ok. My two very favorites would have to be Brie and Havarti. Mmmm, creamy.  *cheese daydreaming*  I feel all warm and happy when I think of cheese.  We don’t get either of them very often because they are a bit more expensive than your run-of-the-mill cheeses.  I think I’d choose the Havarti.  No, no… the Brie! Wait… ARGH.  *brain melting down*

• Kat asked me, “What’s your favorite popsicle flavor?”

Dryers makes these popsicles called Fruit Bars.  I have never had one of them that I didn’t like (try them, man), but my favorite (and favorite popsicle) is Grape.

I know, Grape, it sounds so boring.  But Holy Shiznit-O-Bitty-Bang, people.  These things are GOOD.

• Kerrianne asked me, “Fried or poached?”

I’m not really sure why, but poached eggs = yuck.  So, mostly definitely, fried.  And you know, I don’t have them very often, but I actually really love soft-boiled eggs. 

But you know what the best thing about eating eggs is?  Stinky farts.

• Katie Anne asked, “What is your favorite meal to cook?”

While the lasagna above is my favorite meal that I make to eat, my favorite meal to cook is my very own chili.  Why?  Because it’s all in my head.  No recipe to follow.  I just throw all the stuff in as I go.  Maybe one of these days I’ll attempt to figure it out and write it down so I can pass it on to my kids.  Or just so I can force them to make it for me while I sit on my rump and make John rub my crusty feet.  Yeah, that sounds like the ticket.

• Marye~ asked me, “What’s your favorite food?”

This is another really tough question for me, as I am an avid facehole-filler.  I love food!  There is actually not very much I don’t enjoy eating.  How about…

• River asked, “When you eat a box of chocolates do you eat your favourite flavours first so that someone else doesn’t get the strawberry cream you were saving? what is your favourite flavour?”

I actually tend to save my favorites for last if I’m eating a box of varied types of chocolates.  See, no one is stupid enough to eat MY CANDY.  It’s like, death by cop.  Only the suicidal would do that.  As for favorites, in a variety box, I absolutely love the toffee and the coconut filled chocolates.  But my latest chocolate obsession is this.  *drool*

• ImpostorMom asked me, “What is your favorite meal right now?”

Right now, I’ve fallen in love with my own personal twist on the Green Bean Casserole recipe that’s on the side of the French’s Fried Onions can.  Everyone knows about the Green Been Casserole, right?  Okay, I make a huge version in a great, big casserole dish, but add more milk than usual.  Then Nuke some chicken breasts until they’re partway cooked, and cut up into bite size cubes.  Boil potatoes until they are a bit soft, but NOT MUSHY OR VERY SOFT.  Add chicken and potatoes to the rest of the goop in the casserole dish and bake for like, 45 minutes at 350.  At the end, instead of being a wuss and just adding a little bit more onions to the top, add a whole nother can.  What?  It’s good.  Bake for 5 more minutes.  Voila.  It’s easy, and all 3 Carrolls think it’s yum.

• GHD asked, “What’s your favorite Easter candy?”

Ohhhhhhhhh, baby.  Hands down, it’s the Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs.  I buy a bag every year, and John and I delight in devouring them together.  Mmmm.

• MommyTime asked me, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?”

Dude, I have NO freakin’ idea.  Just like the owl, I chew the shit outta that mofo’er.

She also asked, “Also, what is the food you just can’t stop eating, even when you’re not hungry any more, as long as there’s more in the pot or on your plate or in the carton or whatever?”

This may seem like a lazy answer, but:  All.  It’s just the truth.  I’m a freakin’ glutton to the MAX.  Have you SEEN my ass lately?  Yeah, it’s that huge thing blocking your view.

Wow, that is all of the food questions.  That was fun!

Now I need to go eat some chocolate.
