I don't eat bacon much anymore. But when I do eat it l like the thick bacon with a piece of buttered toast. That's my favorite way to eat it.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

I love bacon. I prefer regular bacon, not too crispy.

I once made bacon chocolate chip cookies.

 

[mommytotwo]

I like bacon, and prefer bacon that is not to thick.

My kids could eat bacon all the time.

Kogo Shuko, how did your cookies taste?

Do you enjoy riding on ferris wheels? There are so many really big ones these days in London, Las Vegas, .... I bet the view is amazing.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

I like going on the Ferris Wheel, but rarely have anyone who wants to go with me.

 

[pkelly6]

I'm not a big fan of the fair type ferris wheel. I know I can't fall out, but there's a little part of me going "or could you?" I go when kids drag me and I hold them and the rail tightly; they usually ask someone else to go with them after that experience.

Going to Vegas next year with a couple younguns who are turning 21 and planning to ride that ferris wheel. Thinking since I will be enclosed I will be okay. Or will I?

 

[Kirby]

Not fond of ferris wheels. It's not the height but the dropping feeling when it goes around that I don't like.

 

[mommytotwo]

I don't ride rides, and not fond of heights.

 

[blueiis99]

Love thrill rides. Although we did not do the Ferris wheel in Las Vegas. It is actually a room that you can drink and party in for hrs. We had dd 15 with us and it's not really our scene to party like we are in our twenties either.

What are your favorite types of berries-(huckleberry, strawberry, raspberry, ....) Do you like to eat them as is, in pies, ...... do you grow any type of berries?

 

[blueiis99]

Blueberries and raspberries. I eat them every night plain as a snack

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Raspberries are my favourite, but I also love strawberries and blueberries.

I used to grow strawberry plants, but in my current apartment building, any time I try to grow them, they get infested by spider mites (my neighbours below me have a VERY huge plant collection, judging by what's on their balcony and in their windows, so I suspect it comes from them).

I love eating raspberries just as they are, but I LOVE blueberry pie and strawberry rhubarb pie.

 

[mommytotwo]

There are no real berries around here, so I get to eat what we have at the stores here which are the basics. Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. I wish we could plant a few different berry bushes in our yard.

 

[Kirby]

I haven't met a berry that I didn't like. Like them plain or in pies, sometimes in salads. I like to mix blueberries with cottage cheese.

If you currently live with family members, but were to be given a month to just live by yourself, and you were to only prepare meals for yourself, what would you eat? Would you cook? Would you eat at a restaurant or order out?

And if you now live alone, how do you figure out what to cook? How often do you eat out? Do you cook larger portions, and freeze meals? If you were to get 2-3 more members to prepare meals for daily, how do you think it would change from your current ways?

 

[Kogo Shuko]

I'm currently in an in between state at the moment.

I live by myself, but am in a serious relationship, so half the time I'm with him.

If I'm by myself for the week, and don't have plans to eat with others, I tend to make a large portion dinner that I really enjoy and eat it all week. The same goes for lunches, although usually they're sandwiches. I don't mind eating the same meal all week, so long as my weekends are different.

If I lived with someone, say my BF and his son, I suspect I'd have a lot more variety, at least that's my experience from eating at their place often. We also tend to eat out more often than I would on a regular basis on my own.

 

[mommytotwo]
