Quote from a Movie: I don’t watch movies.  I read blogs. Right or left handed: right Roasted Cinnamon & Sugar Chickpea “Peanuts” Siblings: 1 younger sister Special K Bars Time You Wake Up: about 5 hours after I go to bed.  This varies greatly. Tofu – Pumpkin Honey Underwear: commando Vegetable You Dislike: onions Vanilla Softserve What Makes You Run Late: too much to do, too little time to do it.  And having a child compounds this, greatly.

Yummy Food You Make: Any of these Desserts Zoo, Favorite Animal: Big Cats Zucchini Pasta with Mixed Vegetables & Peanut Sauce From my last post on Algae and Trying Anything Once, it was fun to read what you’ve tried once.  What you’d be willing to try once.  And the things you’re not willing to try, or to try ever again. And thanks for your thoughts on supplements.  Most of you said you feel similarly to me, that food over supplements any day, but there are situations and needs in which supplements can be helpful. Questions: 1.  Pick a letter and tell me your answer. Letters I’d be more curious about…T through Z.   But I’m not picky. Or pick a few and fill me in. 2. What’s going on for you this weekend? I’m working, working out, cooking, cleaning, errand-running, parenting.  Oh wait, I do this every day.  The weekend isn’t “special” but that’s ok.  Being busy is a good thing, right?
