How do you like your eggs?: fluffy scrambled

How do you take your coffee/tea: no coffee, generally but if I get tempted:  a really milky latte (and yes, I realise it is redundant)/ tea- with milk, but not with the fruity teas

Peanut butter: sweet and creamy - Ozzie peanut butter is NOT as sweet yick

What kind of dressing on your salad?: citrusy vinaigrettes

Coke or Pepsi?: Arghh I stopped drinking soda regularly when I was in college but have picked up the habit again here --no thanks to those damn 24-pack boxes grr

You're feeling lazy. What do you make?: sandwich or cereal hehe

You're feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?: Haven't ordered pizza here yet because we make our own, plus fish and chips is always easy to get 

You feel like cooking. What do you make?:  Depends on what I have in the pantry.  Tonight, it was chicken kiev.

Do any foods bring back good memories?: A lot --my family loves to putter around in the kitchen and we do most of our bonding preparing or enjoying a good meal.  Most of my friends are foodies, too.

Do any foods remind you of someone?: One of my most favorite memories of my maternal grandmother is watching her (as a very young child) make chorizo in her kitchen.  Freshly made piaya or roasted corn sa uma (at the farm).  My first sushi experience at 12 which I hated.  Smoked, grilled fish at the beach, Ling Nam noodles with my brother and sister, Dulcinea lattes on lazy sundays with my dad, my mom's paella dinners, my sister's homemade pizza, fresh oysters with my brother on our impulsive let's-go-to-the-beach brunches, violet crumble with AL, Tricia's cookies and Tita Au's chocolate cake (which brings joy --and pleas for the recipe-- to EVERYONE who eats it)

Is there a food you refuse to eat?: i'm sure there is, i just can't think of it

What was your favorite food as a child? roasted chicken, roasted eggplant, a lot of veggies, usually in soups or grilled/roasted

Is there a food that you hated as a child but now love? ampalaya (bittergourd) my mom used to cook it with beef or egg and sometimes she would put it on the table and not place anything else just so we would eat it.
