Deb, here are some more questions..

Would you dress up to go see Pirates of the Caribean 3?

If yes, would Matt? Would he be a Johnny Depp or an Orlando Bloom?

Obviously you would go in as Keira Nightly since most people say that. Then again you could also go in as the Voodoo Woman if you want..

And Finally, think of a Random Word, right now.

 

[UKDEB]

Ok Deb........ I've heard so much about your chilli's............

so what's your recipe?

What time do you go to bed?

Does Matt snore?
(I need to place my tent very strategically so I don't hear any snoring)

Do you dye your hair?

* Recipe for chilli: Fry beef mince (or even better, chuck steak cut up small). I do this in a non-stick pan without any oil. At the same time, in a separate pan, cook some chopped onions (I like a lot, so I use two big ones) in half the olive oil from a jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Grind some cumin and add it to the onions with chilli powder and one or two finely chopped red chillies. Once the beef is nice and brown (I like to fry it until it's catching - takes a while, even on a high heat), add a good slug of red wine and reduce until it's almost gone (wine isn't essential and I doubt it's even part of a chilli recipe normally). Then combine the meat and the onion mixture. Whiz up half the sun-dried tomatoes in a blender and add to the pan with a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes and a tin of kidney beans (drained), plus 3-4 squares of dark chocolate. I used to use a cinnamon stick, but the chocolate gives the finished thing a nicer consistency. It's then just a case of leaving it to simmer slowly. The longer, the better, IMHO. We never eat it with rice - usually just some nice bread. If you're doing it for guests, you could dollop some guacamole and soured cream on top.

* I rarely go to bed late - usually between 10 and 11pm. Sometimes earlier! If we are with friends, I'll usually stay up until the early hours, but only once I've had a nap mid-evening.

* Does Matt snore? Does the day have a "Y" in it? I've tried earplugs, but I don't like the "lack of control" feeling in not being able to hear. He's tried those nasal strip things - they help, but they're not a cure. I've tried stabbing him repeatedly, but he just sleeps through.

* I don't dye my hair. My hairdresser, on the other hand, dyes it once every 5 weeks!

Do you prefer handbags or shoes?

Tricky one. On the basis that I have about 40 times more pairs of shoes than handbags, I guess the answer must be shoes.

 

[UKDEB]

Ok guys, come on and let's carry on with this. I have PM'd Deb but heard nothing from her yet, so unless I hear otherwise let's carry on but keep it above board from now on.

How many handbags do you have?

Do you wear a lot of jewellery?

What colour is your kitchen?

* Handbags that I actually use - 4. I have a small Louis Vuitton bucket bag which I use most days. I have a large Louis Vuitton beauty bag which I use as hand-luggage. I have a Tod's "Eight" bag, which I don't use much these days. And I have a black leather Burberry bag with a burgundy leather interior. I bought all of them in Orlando - the Louis Vuitton ones in Saks and the Tod's and Burberry ones at the Premium Outlets.

* A watch, my wedding and engagement rings, a contemporary eternity ring on my right hand (you wouldn't know it was an eternity ring, but it is engraved with the words "On and on" around its entire circumference). Other than that, I usually wear some sort of costume jewellery - usually matching necklace and earring to co-ordinate with whatever I'm wearing.

* Cupboards are white. Walls are Smalt.

Good Morning Deb

What's your fave perfume?

What's your fave eyeshadow?

Do you own a pair of crocs?

Would you ever?

What's your fave mall/outlet/store in Orlando?

Thanx Deb

* Don't have a favourite - I like to try new ones. Of my current collection, I probably like Marc Jacobs Blush best.

* Ditto. The one I use most at the moment is a Chanel one in a pretty non-descript shimmery beige.

* No.

* I don't mind them on other people, but they're not really "me".

* My favourite mall is the Mall at Millenia. My favourite store is probably Tommy Bahama and I can't wait to get to the new store and cafe at Pointe Orlando. My favourite outlet store is Tod's at Premium Outlets.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I see you've cracked it now! I did the same as you - tried every combination about a million times before discovering that the problem was with the site, not me.

Hi Deb

What was your favourite toy as a child?

What was your favourite TV programme as a child?

Who was your favourite member of the A-Team?

Did you ever write to Jim'll Fix It, and if so, what did you ask for?

What would you ask for now?

Laur's

* Well, I loved dolls and had loads of them. It wasn't a birthday or Christmas without a doll and I got one every year until my 13th birthday when my Dad put his foot down. I also loved my Baffle Ball. Wonder if you can still get them?

* As a very young child I loved Bizzy Lizzy. It was one of the "Watch with Mother" series. She was a little girl who had 3 wishes a day by rubbing the flower on the pocket of her pinafore. If she forgot and accidentally wished a fourth, everyone would return to how things were at the start of the day.

* Mr T.

* I'm sure I did on more than one occasion. I think I might have written and asked to meet Kenny.

* To stay in Walt's Apartment at DLC.

ETA - Here is a Baffle Ball. I always looked after my toys and kept it in its box. Unfortunately my Mum gave away everything my brother and I ever owned.

 

[UKDEB]

whats your earliest memory Deb

I've got several from the time I lived on a farm, but I don't know which would have been the first - I lived there for about 2 years from the age of 6 months. I remember walking to the shop in the village with my Gran and getting a pair of plastic sunglasses with a stick of liquorice attached to them with an elastic band.

Actually, it was more of a Country Manor than a farm. This was it. You can call me "Lady". Lady Muck.

* I will if you will.

* Matt would be more of a Davy Jones.

* You say the nicest things.

* Crease.

Deb, that sounds delicious! How many people would it serve and how much meat do you use?

I have seen one of those! Except the ones I see have the Spikes on the outside. It's less of a Game more of a toy..
