Her questions:
1. You have been given an all expense paid trip to anywhere in the world. Where do you choose to go and why?
2. How tall are you?
3. What is the best thing about being your friend?
4. You're having a dinner party tonight. Who do you invite, what do you serve, what music do you have playing?
5. With what do you struggle each day (if anything!)?
1. You have been given an all expense paid trip to anywhere in the world. Where do you choose to go and why?
India. I want to go there before I die, because I'm inexplicably attracted to the culture, to the people, the smells, the food...
2. How tall are you?
5' 8".
3. What is the best thing about being your friend?
I'm fiercely loyal, and I listen well.
4. You're having a dinner party tonight. Who do you invite, what do you serve, what music do you have playing?
The way I'm feeling right this moment, I'd invite only myself. I'd serve perfectly crisp chicken fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and biscuits. For dessert, I'd serve chocolate cake with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream on the side. In the five CD changer: Martin Sexton's live album (both CDs), Patty Larkin's "Perishable Fruit," anything by Sarah Vaughn, and Dar Williams' "The Green World."
5. With what do you struggle each day (if anything!)?
My body: my posture, my attitude about my body, people's reaction to my physical presence on the street and in the world. I sit at a desk all day, so I make the conscious effort to stand on the subway and walk whenever I can. Of all the parts of myself as a person, my body is the one I struggle with most.

Re:
Date: 2003-06-08 10:42 am (UTC)I enjoy cooking fish when I can because some of my kids won't eat it, and because H-B and I have a major disagreement on how well fish ought to be cooked -- he prefers it to be nearly undistinguishable from any other sort of animal flesh. But I'm always experimenting.
People have proposed marriage (or at least sexual favors) after having both my roast chicken and my salmon.
I used to bake more than I do, haven't baked anything more ambitious than chocolate chip cookies this year, but for Christmas 2001, I baked four dozen each of eight different kinds of cookies and distributed them to the police, firefighters and emergency workers in the neighborhood.
