Thanks for asking! I never used to snack much pre-pandemic but I think staying at home/working remotely has not been good for me in that sense lol
Top 5 snack foods: 1. chocolate covered raisins (the Costco ones are my weakness) 2. roasted cashews 3. cuties/mandarin oranges (the small ones) 4. crackers and brie 5. cookies - I especially love chocolate chip
1. Owls (I just love owls) 2. Peacocks (they're so pretty) 3. Penguins (i like the small ones and when they're fluffy babies) 4. Flamingos (I like their color) 5. Hummingbirds (idk why)
Top 5 episodes of Smallville (though actually impossible to narrow it down and I change my mind constantly): 1. 10.04 "Homecoming"- it had everything for me 2. 4.01 "Crusade"- introduced my fave and Clark flew 3. 8.07 "Identity"- I really like episodes where Clark grapples with his dual role 4. 6.11 "Justice"- I like superheroes and the hints of a new team to come 5. 9.11/9.12 "Absolute Justice"- again, a really cool hint at the future
My granddad kept peacocks and they are pretty, but wow do they scream!
I wish I would have kept up with Smallville when it aired, because I definitely watched the first several seasons and enjoyed but at some point I stopped and I don't think I could watch it now.
Oh, wow! That's cool - not about the screaming though. I've heard they can be pretty aggressive too.
It seems a lot of people watched the first few seasons and then stopped, which I get. And yeah, makes sense. As much as I love it, I'm always reluctant to even recommend it because of all the episodes and also the quality goes wildly inconsistent after s3.
Top 5 movies (mix of Hollywood and Bollywood): 1. A Few Good Men (it used to be my fave for a long time) 2. Aladdin (my fave as a kid) 3. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Bollywood movie that I loved- the two leads have excellent chemistry) 4. Dil to Pagal Hai (another Bollywood movie that I watched all the time when I was younger) 5. The Proposal (I love romcoms)
Thanks for asking! This is a fun one! How can I narrow it down to 5? I can't even pick 5 for just the NFL lol
Top 5 sports moments (in no particular order):
1. The Butler int in SB49! I still remember my sister and I had the Brady reaction, where we jumped up and started screaming together. That Kearse catch was horrifying so to have it end on a good note was such a relief. I was really worried 2. The Brady-Edelman-Amendola double pass in the Ravens divisional round game- down by 14 twice? Insane. But when they had that double pass, I was like "they need to win this game" 3. Tracy Porter's intercepting Peyton in the Saints/Colts SB. As someone who was cheering for the Saints, that was really exciting 4. The Ray Allen shot in the Spurs/Miami game 6 of the 2013 finals. Everything that led to up to it- the LeBron miss, the Bosh rebound, Tim Duncan somehow not being on the floor, and the casual way Ray Allen knew exactly where to stop and shoot it- iconic 5. Kobe scoring 60 (!!!) in his last game. The titles were all awesome of course but that was so unexpected and it was clear to see how exhausted he was at the end. The season was terrible but he went out like he came in- shooting :D
Thank you for asking! You really know where my heart lies ... which I probably make pretty obvious XD
Top 5 Desserts:
1. chocolate cake (my forever weakness- fudge cake is even better) 2. tiramisu (i only tried it in my twenties and I was like "what have I been missing out on") 3. brownies (can you tell I just like chocolate?) 4. cheesecake- my favorites are coffee (The Cheesecake Factory tragically removed this Kahlua one from their menu and I'm still sad) or milk chocolate 5. ice cream sundae - i love a vanilla ice cream topped with hot fudge and whipped cream, hold the cherry lol
Mmm, those are all excellent choices. I'm not generally big on brownies, but an extra chewy one might just convince me, especially if it has nuts. For a couple of years, I lived a block from a fairly fancy grocery store that sold (vegan) tiramisu-flavored cheesecake. It was absolutely fucking perfect and I miss it every day that I don't have it.
I see! I'm not big on nuts in brownies but I made a batch of espresso ones the other day that even my mom, who is not a big chocolate/brownie fan, enjoyed. They were pretty soft. :D
Interesting! I've had tiramisu cheesecake before but not vegan. The downside about moving is when you can't get ahold of some of the fave foods you really liked.
