This'll be weird, since I can't eat gluten and I don't eat dairy products.
1. How do you like your eggs?
Over easy or scrambled with bacon. It depends on many things, like the weather, the time of year, and what I am wearing.
2. How do you take your coffee/tea?
Coffee: decaf, black or with a splash of soy milk. I drink Typhoo decaf tea with some soy milk.
3. Favorite breakfast food?
Gluten-free waffles or pancakes with bacon. But, mostly I eat rice cakes with various toppings, like jam, honey, nut butters (not peanut), etc.
4. Peanut butter - smooth or crunchy?
I don't eat it, but when I did, it had to be crunchy. I prefer cashew or almond butter.
5. What kind of dressing on your salad?
Balsamic vinaigrette.
6. Coke or Pepsi?
Neither. In fact, no pop at all, except for maybe one glass of ginger ale every year or two. Well, I might have a rum and coke once a year, or so.
7. You’re feeling lazy, what do you make?
Rice pasta with sauce from a jar.
8. You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?
Sadly, I cannot eat pizza. When I did, it was always bacon & pineapple. So, the equivalent would be to order in Thai or Indian food, but I can no longer order from the usual Thai food place, because I found out that it is not gluten-free after years of them telling me it was.
9. You feel like cooking. What do you make?
Recently, I've been hopping on the web to try new recipes, rather than reverting to the old standards. I recently made some very hot golden chicken curry and some strange chicken dish with tamari (gluten-free) and almonds.
10. Do any foods bring back good memories?
Roast chicken (or roast beef or roast pork).
11. Do any foods bring back bad memories?
I think I can no longer eat any of the foods that would have brought back the bad memories. But, I would say anything cooked by my mother or the pizza from my home town.
12. Do any foods remind you of someone?
Yes.
13. Is there a food you refuse to eat?
I refuse to eat dairy products (milk, cheese, cream, etc). I am forced to avoid gluten as I have Celiac Disease, which I have mentioned before on this blog. Beyond that, I would refuse internal organs (liver, kidneys, tripe, brains, etc.). I am not a fan of lobster. To me, it just tastes like rubber.
14. What was your favorite food as a child?
Ice cream, creamed corn, cereal - but not at the same time.
15. Is there a food that you hated as a child but now like?
Sweet potatoes.
16. Is there a food that you liked as a child but now hate?
Well, milk. It is a vile and disgusting substance.
17. Favorite fruit and vegetable:
Can't choose just one...
Fruit: mangos, bananas, raspberries. Vegetables: sweet potatoes, butternut squash.
18. Favorite junk food:
Lays Lightly Salted!
19. Favorite between meal snack:
Fruit.
20. Do you have any weird food habits?
I like bananas on rice cakes with almond or cashew butter.
21. You’re on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on?
I have never been on a diet. I have pretty much weighed the same my entire adult life. I have never felt the need to fill up on anything, and I wouldn't even know what is a good thing to fill up on. I suppose I would say a banana.
22. You’re off your diet. Now what would you like?
Sorbet or dark chocolate.
23. How spicy do you order Indian/Thai?
Medium to hot.
24. Can I get you a drink?
Red wine please. Oh, you mean non-alcoholic? Well, water or apple cider.
25. Red wine or white?
See #24, but I like white too.
26. Favorite dessert?
Lemon sorbet from this cool place in T-Dot. Also, I like Haagen Daz Mango sorbet.

My Mom's friend has Celiac's disease. Does that mean you're Irish? Only people of Irish descent are supposed to get it, right?
That was interesting. No cheese has to be tough.
Jen: recent research has killed that theory and proven that the disease afflicts about 1 in 100 to 1 in 120 people, mostly those of European decent. It used to be thought that the prevalence was 1 in 10,000 in NA. Doctors in North America are generally ignorant of the condition, and that is why rates of diagnosis are well below the level of prevalence and why people in Ireland and Italy are far more likely to be diagnosed. I could go on and on, but I won't, not right now anyway.
Never heard of the disease but thanks for sharing the article. It was interesting. It must be tough not being able to have dairy products sometimes or it was right after being diagnosed with this disease?? I love cheese and pizza and such. It would be hard.
Tweetey: I've always known that dairy products are bad for me, but it took some time to wean myself from them. I think they are addictive.
Ha, that would explain why rice pasta is readily available and is advertised on national television in Italy.
My naturopath wants me to go the no dairy, no sugar, no wheat route in the new year. Wheat I think will be the easiest, but dairy has me quaking. I think you're right, it must be addictive, because I get the shakes thinking about going without cheese.
Naturopaths always recommend that course of action, and sometimes add no yeast too. It's worth a try, just to see what happens.
