If your Vox Neighborhood had a potluck dinner tonight, what dish, drink or dessert would you bring?
I wouldn't go... I'd make my favorite corn, bean and mango salad and stay home!
For a full sit-down dinner with several guests, would you rather be the one cooking or do you prefer to just show up and eat?
I don't like full sit-down dinners, ever! I don't even like "parties" so I have to say this question doesn't apply. But I wonder how many people are as "group averse" as I am?
What did you do as a child that you feel guilty about even to this day?
My brother had taken a small toy of mine -- a paper doll and hidden it in his toybox. When I found it by accident, looking for a truck or something, I took it back. He was sad and upset. I didn't realize then that he also needed pretty things. I have thought about it for years. If I had it to do over, I would like to think I would give him permission to play with my toys whenever he asked... so that he could play with them, and I wouldn't think I had lost them.
What is your favorite dish on the Thanksgiving table?
Submitted by Kadeeae.
bread stuffing. definitely. with oysters or chestnuts as part of the blend; celery for a bit of crunch...
mmmm.
What's been your worst experience at a restaurant?
My favorite "chinese" restaurant put beef in their eggrolls last February instead of pork. Even though I didn't swallow and took a large dose of antihistamine immediately, within five minutes my tongue and mouth were swollen and after twenty minutes (and we were already headed out the door as soon as I realized what had happened) my feet didn't fit in my shoes.
I have had gross things (hair in food) and disappointing things (waiting nearly half an hour after being setated to even have the server take our order) -- but that eggroll incident was about the worst I can imagine.
Allergies stink.
Which person from your past, who you've lost touch with, do you wonder about the most?
Submitted by ancora impara.
I often wonder about a man who was a year behind me in high school. We were good friends, and worked on a "pan-dimensional" theory together. I still have the notes somewhere. We met up again a few years later when I returned to college after a brief hiatus. Now, he was a year ahead of me in school, but we picked up our friendship like we had not been apart. We lost track when he went off to teach English in Japan... He was a fun, smart, creative person. I hope he is living his dreams still.
