Friday Feast

Feast One Hundred Thirty Four Appetizer What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different? I usually manage to get into bed between 11p and midnight. I'd probably like to stay up later, but the baby refuses to sleep in until noon, so I guess I can't either. Soup When it comes to advice, do you give more or receive more? I probably give more. People often use me as a sounding board, and I have to say that I am fairly good at seeing what's around the corner, if I'm not too emotionally invested. Salad Describe a memorable meal you've had. We went on a cruise a couple years ago and the final night in the formal dining room two of the entree options were prime rib or giant lobster. I had both! Kumar, our waiter, also wanted me to have two desserts, but even I couldn't pack all that away. It was sooo good. And I miss Kumar. Main Course Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something. The Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony introduced me to the idea of things like death or time as offices filled by people, a fun concept to rattle around in your head. Dessert What is your favorite type of fruit juice? That changes with my mood. I'm very fond of regular grape juice, cran-grape, orange and pink grapefruit cocktail, not the straight juice.
