Feast One Hundred and Thirty Four
Appetizer

What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different?

I usually get into bed about 10:30 or 11pm. I wish it was much earlier than that. That way I could get a good 9 hours of sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and not so freakin tired every single day.

Soup

When it comes to advice, do you give more or receive more?

I would say that it would be about equal with possibly a little more receiving these days. In all matters of life and love I seek advice from the all knowing Boo. But I also dish out my share of advice to her. I rely (way too much) on my sister and my bong fong fong Jessica for parenting advice, but J-Dub does come to me sometimes. But lately I have been relying on all you fine people for advice so I guess that moves me over to the receiving end.

Salad

Describe a memorable meal you've had.

I spent a summer in Mexico while in community college. We stayed with a host family and ours was a little old lady, her son, grandson, and 14 year old maid. The old lady would feed us breakfast every morning and I can vividly remember the small kitchen, the table with the plastic tablecloth, and the greasy eggs drenched with freshly made salsa. Out of everything we did that summer, that is still one of my most vivid memories.

Main Course

Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something.

Hmm. I have read a lot of books but I would have to say Rain of Gold by Victor Villasenor really left a lasting impression on me. I made me feel even more pride in my family and the journey that we have taken together.

Dessert

What is your favorite type of fruit juice?

I have a love for the cranberry juice. Nice, cold, tart and taste great mixed with vodka!
