What’s your #1 comfort food?
My Mom's chili. It's delicious and I can never get enough of it.
If you were on a deserted island, what one food would you want to have with you?
Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake. It combines two loves; red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting.
What is/are your signature dishes? (What dishes are you ‘known’ for?)
Kidney beans and rice with shredded taco cheese sprinkled on top until it becomes a gooey mess.
It’s Friday night, you don’t know what to cook. You opt for…
Getting food at Panera or Quizno's. Anything fast that I don't have to bother with.
What’s your biggest weakness when it comes to food?
I have a lot of weaknesses when it comes to food. I absolutely love pies and ice cream and cakes. Anything and everything with chocolate. Sushi is a big weakness, but something I haven't indulged in in quite awhile. Sandwiches...I LOVE sandwiches.
What food can you absolutely not eat?
Brussels sprouts, but that's more a personal dislike. I literally can't drink soy milk or I get physically sick.
What’s the most decadent dish you’ve had?
I don't really go for "decadent" food, but probably the quail I had at a Vietnamese restaurant last year, along with the pork pot. My word was it good.
What’s your favorite type of food?
Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, American. In that order.
Favorite dish?
Depends on where I am and who's making it.
Favorite place is Mandarin House. And my favorite dishes include; General Tso's Chicken, Honey Sesame Beef, Chef's Spicy Crispy Shrimp or Beef, Pork Lo Mein or Fried Rice
If your partner could take you to any restaurant you wanted, which one would it be?
There's too many options, but right now, I'd really like to go back to Victoria Gastro Pub. I haven't been there in a long time, and want to get a shepherd's pie and a trifle.
Are you a soup or salad person?
It really depends on my mood and what is being offered. Caesar salad? I could eat them until I burst. Clam chowder, chicken noodle soup or chili? Holy God I wouldn't know where to start. Unless it's my Mom's chili. Then I will have that.
Buffet, take-out or sit-down restaurant?
Again, depends on my mood and where I'm at. Never eat at a sushi buffet, but I really love Pizza Hut's buffet area and anything from Old Country Buffet. Mama Mia's in my hometown has excellent take-out subs. If we're talking about Mandarin House, it doesn't matter because it's excellent anyway. Narita Sushi, I always sit down in, to get the full benefit of sushi. It's about the ambiance as much as the quality of the food.
What’s the most impressive dinner you’ve ever made?
I made steak and veggies by myself, and the steak was mind-blowingly delicious.
Do you consider yourself a good cook?
I do. I won't be cooking any elaborate courses or be nabbing a Michelin star anytime soon, but I've never heard any complaints about my food.
Do you know what vichyssoise is?
Some weird green French soup? I think I had some in New York and it was not pleasant.
Who’s your favorite TV cook?
Anthony Bourdain {does he count? We'll just say he does}
Can you name at least three TV cooking personalities?
Anthony Bourdain, Emeril and Rachel Ray {¬_¬}
Homemade or homemade from a box?
Homemade every time.
Name 3 or more other foodies you are going to tag
Anyone who stumbles upon this can do it.

Full Day's Food for May 11, 2010
Meal: Thomas' Multi-grain bagel with butter in the car, and then a plain bagel with cream cheese with a Tall hot chocolate at Starbucks for breakfast.
Rating:
Taste: multi-grain bagel- 9, plain bagel- 10, hot chocolate- 10
I picked up the multi-grain bagels for lack of a better choice on snowy night in February while at Weis, one of the other supermarkets around here. I was surprised to find, once I did finally eat it, that it tasted good, and that it was high in fiber, which I could always use more of in my diet.
I knew, though, that this one little bagel wouldn't be enough to sustain me until lunch {one of the reasons I go to Starbucks in the first place in the morning...aside from using it as a place to hang out before I have to go to work}, so I opted for a bigger bagel, this time with cream cheese to go with my tall hot chocolate.
The bagel complimented the cocoa perfectly, and had a small hint of sweetness I didn't expect. And the cocoa...try it if you haven't, because Starbucks has the best cocoa I've ever had.
Meal: last of the leftover Pizza Hut, an oats and chocolate Fiber One bar and a can of Coke for lunch.
Rating:
Taste: pizza- 8, Fiber one bar- 8, Coke- 10
I was surprised I wasn't sick of the pizza by now, as a lot of people would be having the same food three days in a row, but I guess that's a testament to Pizza Hut and the food they make. Also, I was afraid that not refrigerating it right away would negatively effect the taste, but it didn't, so that was good.
The bar was scrumptious as always. I used to eat about two of these every time I went to my friend Rebekah's house back two summers ago. I've started trying to eat at least four a week, which also helps with my fiber intake, something everyone should take into consideration when they pick food to eat.
The Coke was cold and crisp and not my original choice to have for lunch, since I left my water in the car when I was dropped off in the morning. Canned soda is my second favorite way to have soda, second only to soda from a fountain. Yuuum.
By the way, even though I had two bagels for breakfast in the morning, I was so hungry by the time 12:30 rolled around that I started to feel sick. It looks like I'll have to have something a little richer or more filled with protein to supplement it in the mornings or else this will become a problem.
Meal: Regular sized Chicken Carbonara sub from Quizno's and a large Coke from Jerry's for dinner.
Rating:
Taste: Chicken Carbonara- 7, Coke- 9
The Chicken Carbonara sub is the only one I ever get when I go to Quizno's. With ingredients like bacon, mushrooms, chicken, mozzarella cheese and "Creamy Bacon Alfredo Sauce", why would I ever want anything else? One time I deviated, not by choice, and got cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella. The sandwich was still tasty as ever, but I don't think I would ever deviate again. I normally would give this sandwich a 10, but because I left it in the microwave for about two hours to keep it warm, all of the heat turned into moisture which soaked part of the paper it was wrapped in. The sandwich was still good, but not as good as it usually is when it's fresh out of the oven.
The Coke was refreshing as usual. Fountain soda is the only proper way to drink soda, in my opinion. Followed by can soda {I can't describe why, but try it, and you'll see what I mean}, and then bottled soda, which makes the soda lose something.
It's definitely time for a gym visit tomorrow, I think.
