A Moulinex blender; everything from soups to smoothies.
How do you make coffee?
I just put my lips together and...grind? The honest answer is that if I make it with the pot in the right place, it's a surprise.
If you could win an Olympic medal in a sport, what would it be and why?
ambling, sauntering, strolling, or just lying down, probably; not really a believer in exercise! I'd like to do the equestrian events best.
If you were a garden, what would you be like, and why?
If I was a garden, I would be filled with plants and flowers that don't need too much sunlight to survive. The idea of laying there in the scorching sun all day doesn't seem so pleasant! Not too many flowers, either. I would think it would hurt to be picked!
If you were a major kitchen appliance, what would you be and what brand?
Don't think Hawaii would have these, but in England we have the Aga, which has cultural overtones. It's a large cooking range that many country lovers have, even in urban kitchens. It's upper-middle class, always warm and welcoming, keeping the (preferably large) kitchen a haven for the family, and comes in some wonderful colours like blue and scarlet and dark green as well as the classic cream. I'm not actually like that, but have always thought as a wife and mother I should be! Usually goes with labradors, gardening, wellington boots. Now you know more than you ever wanted to.
If you were a flower, which one would you choose?
I would be a tulip...I love tulips..not much smell but very pretty to look at...
If you could meet any celebrity who would it be and why?
If I could meet a celebrity it would have to be Julia Roberts. She seems like she'd have a really cool personality and fun to hang out with.
When you dial the wrong number, what do you do? Hang up, apologize, start speaking a foreign language....?
apologise, stutter and sound totally stupid
[Once, I answered a wrong number call and the man (who sounded nice) said 'I can't very well ask you out to dinner, can I?' so I said - 'No, but you could come to dinner with me and my housemate, we have a dinner party tonight and I'm on my own'. He turned out to be excellent company and would have taken it further if I hadn't been married!]
Which is your favourite place in the world?
I'm still looking for my favorite place in the world...so until then I'll say Las Vegas. The lights, the constant change of people coming and going, all that money!
Relating to foods, do you prefer sweet, sour or salty?
Salty (and spicy)
Would you like to visit/Have you ever visited India?
I'd love to visit India (I'd like to visit almost everywhere). I worked over the summer with some Indian nationals and they were very warm and friendly. Lots of interesting things to see there.
What was the most recent thing you did that could have gotten you arrested?
I parked on a no-parking area for a while - not very dastardly.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Yelling like a madman at someone for something I thought they did,then realizing they didnt..... How many neighbors do you know that you cant stand?
I don't have a neighbor that I can't stand. They are all reasonably decent.
What is the most important thing to you.
My 6-year old son.
If you could do something today that you've never done before,regardless of price or risk,what would you do?
Just for one day, I would purchase a beautiful piece of property that had many rolling green fields and woods and build a greenhouse so I could grow my own flowers.
If you could re-live a particular day in your life, which day would you pick?
The day I got my very first girlfriend. I was 29 and she was 72. (jk!! We were both 16) That was 24years ago and we've been married for the last 8.
Is your car the color you really want it to be?
Absolutely. I like green!
Did you sleep well last night?
very well, I had a disturbingly romantic dream about a doctor - nobody I know - who had very healing hands!
Do you like oysters?
No, not really. I tried them, but they're too slimy.
Did you go to college?
