What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?

My family has a giant cinnamon bun tradition on Christmas morning, if that's the kind of holiday you mean. I'm also partial to "banana split waffles" on vacation. They actually don't have ice cream. But they do have a lot of whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

A Case for Ice Cream in Winter

I don't know. I'm Canadian, and it does get cold in winter. I stop wanting ice cream. The idea of eating ice cream with hot chocolate sounds painful. The contrast in temperatures would hurt, I think.

T & T Supermarket Chain

I like going to T&T in Edmonton. Where are you thinking of going? It's really big and clean. What Norlinda says seems true to me.

What was the one meal your mother made when you were little that you absolutely hated?

I used to hate stir fry on rice. Now I love rice and stir fry and make it for myself all the time. So easy and tasty.

If you could only have one knife...

An 8 inch chef's knife. Works for almost everything, except slicing cheese, ripe tomatoes and bread.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite appetizer to prepare for company/potlucks?

I like to make roasted bell peppers, marinate them in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper then serve them with slices of feta and baguette. Then put the cheese on the bread and a pepper on top. It's really tasty.

Question of the Day: What weird things did you like as a child?

We grew parsley in the yard. I just ate bits of it, plain.

Question of the Day: What weird things did you like as a child?

I really liked marshmallows. I nuked them with rice crispies for a snack. . . and lots of other marshmallow creations. I still like s'mores though.

Do you leave your butter sit out at room temp?

At my parents' house there is usually some room temperature butter... just on a plate. It gets used quickly. I don't use much on my own, so it's in the fridge.

Question of the Day: Best Meal You've Had When Dining Solo

I pretty much never dine out alone. But, one morning last semester I took myself out for breakfast. I had cheddar and apple crepes in an organic market cafe. It was delicious.
