Question Game

[Mabel Figworthy]

No, we just snuggle up

If a top chef were to cook dinner for you tonight, who would it be and what would be on the menu?

[Rose]

Well maybe not a top chef that you have heard of but to me.....My daughter and she make the best Cheese and Bacon Quiche. As a matter of fact she made this for me the last time she came home and it was delicious. She has the perfect touch on the crust. It comes out so flakey. mmmmmmmm Now I am hungry.



What does your other half do to help around the house? Cook? Clean? Stay out of the way?

[Mabel Figworthy]

He sets up the washing machine & dish washer in the evening, and will do the hoovering if I remind him. He'd be willing to do more if I asked him, but as he's working so hard on our business I don't think he has to!

What job would you most like to do if you could just walk into it?

[Rose]

Veterinarian Assistant...I have always wanted to work with animals. If only I had the money and time I would go back to school and get my education for this.



Who is your favorite artist?

[Mabel Figworthy]

I ought to say Vermeer but actually I really like Norman Rockwell, the American illustrator.

what is the best compliment anyone could give you?

[Rose]

"You have great kids." I actually hear that alot and I feel very proud. Not that I deserve all of the credit but I am very proud of them and it makes me burst when others say how great they are.


Who is your favorite movie maker?

[maggs]

Spielberg. I like most of his films.

On a cold winters night do you prefer to watch a musical or comedy film.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Musical, preferably an old one with Fred Astaire or Howard Keel!

what is your favourite hot drink?

[Cecilia]

A nice hot and strong cup of tea.

Other than cross stich, what is your next favourite hobby or passtime? (Mine is reading)

[Mabel Figworthy]

Reading too, I think, although calligraphy comes close but I hardly ever have the time for it now

[agi]

Question, Mabel?

[Rose]

Oops I think Mabel left before she checked back in.

[Mabel Figworthy]

I could have sworn I'd left a question! Sorry about that...

anyway, here it is

Favourite online stash shop?

[~threadbear~]

Well I like a few, so that's quite a hard question.
Sewandso. Because their delivery times are brilliant!


White or black? (tea or coffee, whichever you drink).

[Lessa54]

White for both. I can do black if desperate and run out of milk but it's not my first preference.

What's the best restaurant you've ever eaten in?

[maggs]

I like to go to Browns in Bath.

Do you prefer brown, white or the ones that have both in for bread?

[Tia]

I dislike white sandwich breads, the only 'white' breads I like are French and Italian breads served in restaurants. I only buy whole grain/multigrain breads that have little if any white flour in them. I love the heartiness of all the seeds, nuts and crunchy grains. Sometimes I bake my own bread or enjoy finding a hearty homemade bread at the local farmers market.

Do you have a bird feeder? And if so, what kinds of birds come to it?

[Rose]

I have a hummingbird feeder that at teh moment needs filled. Any other feeder was just a fast food resturant for my cats so I stopped filling it.


What is your favorite wild animal?????

[Mabel Figworthy]

red squirrel, they're so cute to watch!

if you could have any outfit you liked as a present, what would it be? (style, colour and so on) -- it doesn't have to be practical !

[maggs]

I would like a nice outfit, that has jacket, short and long, dress x 2, skirt, shirt x 3, jumpers and trousers. The dress skirt and trousers to be cut in the classic style that will never date. One dress to be light weight and a contrasting colour or a pattern for summer wear and a thicker richer colour dress for winter. Shirts are to be silk and cotton and jumpers must have a cashmear, a chunky wool and a normal wool one.

I would like all the above in four different colours.

That would set me up and then hubby would never have to hear i've got nothing to wear.


Would you rather have fruit cake or sponge cake.
