fridayfiver: Sam I Am.
1. What do you normally eat for breakfast?
I cannot bring myself to get up before 4:45 in the morning, which means I don't have time to eat breakfast before I leave for work. I keep a bunch of stuff in the office that is easy to carry on the bus and not likely to go bad before I get around to eating it. Most of the time I have a bagel (lately with the most fantabulous blackcurrant preserves), oatmeal, or grits. I get a lot of good-natured teasing from the North Polers about the grits.
Today breakfast was a bowl of grits with far more butter than I probably should have had, but oh dear god, the butter is important. I'm also having coffee, which evidently only I am allowed to make. It has been decreed that Coworker S is not permitted to touch the coffee maker ever again for the rest of forever. I have no idea what he does that I don't, but the difference is noticeable. Oh, and dessert (because breakfast needs dessert) is a sugar cookie. Yum.
2. Are you more likely to drink coffee or tea?
Depends on my mood, really. I enjoy both. I like really good coffee for its flavor, and I like coffee in general for the caffeine. Tea falls into the comfort food-type things category. I like flavored teas and herbal teas and blah blah, but really, my favorite is just plain old cup of tea with sugar and milk. My aunt and uncle come over from England every year to visit, and they always bring tons of tea bags with them. Regular old grocery store brand, most of the time. They're my favorite. They're stronger than the stuff here, and the flavor is different. Some of that could be in my head, but either way, it works for me.
3. Would you consider yourself a good cook?
Better than I thought I could be. I've only recently learned how to put ingredients together and apply heat to produce a food thing.
4. What is your favorite meal?
This is another that depends on my mood. I like comfort foods like mince, roast, fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken pot pie, and beans on toast.
5. Green eggs and ham: would you eat it?
Yep.
