Well, it's Saturday now, but here's a Friday Five anyway :) as ordered by Crys and Mimmy
1. How often do you (a) eat out, (b) cook for yourself or (c) otherwise forage for food?
a) usually once or twice a week, depends how lazy we feel and how soon after payday it is :) some of the places we eat at though, a decent meal costs less than the ingredients to cook at home - other places, can cost as much as a week's worth of food shopping.
b) Whenever wifey nags at me to cook, or I feel like cooking ;) in summer, less often, as it's often too hot to stand cooking for ages so we just forage (see c), in other seasons probably 2-4 times a week.
c) In summer we tend to have a lot of "futon picnics", often while watching a DVD, or else we munch snacks at keyboard while mudding. During the recent heatwave we were futon-picnicking almost every night, was just too damn hot to cook in our kitchen!
2. What's your favourite restaurant and why?That's easy - place called Yamas, our local Greek-Cypriot restaurant. Had our wedding reception there, and they did us proud, and charged about half of what we expected. We go every few weeks (though we went through a phase of going almost every week!) - they know us well there :)
3. What's your favourite food to prepare for yourself?Usually anything with pasta. Cooked a pasta concoction last night which consisted of fresh penne, bacon, two kinds of sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, red/yellow/orange peppers, chunky tomato sauce, garlic and herbs - one of wifey's favourites too. Sometimes do an alternate version without the tomato sauce and herbs but adding apple, brown sugar and honey, works really well. Can do a lot with baked macaroni too.
4. What one food gives you the strongest emotional reaction? Why?Probably chocolate, all the endorphins in that stuff :)
5. If you were stuck on a desert island for the rest of your life, what would you do with the coconuts?Gather enough of them to make into a raft (coconuts float, yes?) and escape!Not too sure what I'd use to hold them together...hrm...maybe palm leaves?
