Questions About Food

I found this question and answer thing on The Jewish Vegan’sblog. It is very interesting to find out things about each other. So here are my answers. Feel free to cut and paste and tell us a little about you.

1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
Rice Dream Rice Milk, organic unsweetened.

2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook?
Cranberry Sauce from Vegan Yum Yum, Roasted Vegetables and Vegan Mashed Potatoes with vegan gravy. Stuff for Thanksgiving Dinner

3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
Garlic Powder

4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
Several years ago I was trying to make teriyaki chicken wings. There must have been too much salt added to the teriyaki sauce because the wings were so salty no one could eat them. I hadn’t salted them either. We had company coming and had to throw out the chicken. Should have been a “Dah” moment for me because we just had baked acorn squash, salad and whole grain rolls and everyone loved it! The “Dah” moment was that the vegetables were so delicious, we didn’t need the chicken!

5. Favorite pickled item?
Purple cabbage

6. How do you organize your recipes?
On my computer under recipe, then under different headings, appetizer, breads, breakfast, etc.

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?
My dad worked the 2nd shift and it was just my mom and me for several years. Every night she would ask me what I wanted for dinner. I would always say “Potato Soup”, and she would make it. I still love potato soup the way she makes it.
