friday's feast

feast one hundred & sixty-three

Appetizer On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you look forward to your birthday? I'ma say about a two, unless it is a milestone birthday. At this stage, I know I'm not going to get a pony (and that's not something I want, so forgetaboutit)

Salad Do you wear sunglasses when you’re outside? If so, what does your current pair look like? *sigh* I don't but I should. I just got an updated glasses prescription and really ought to invest in a good pair of funky shades.

Main Course If you were to write a book, to whom would you dedicate it? a memoir would definitely be dedicated to the loved ones who keep me sane; a fiction book would be to the writers who make me lose myself in a book and my reading group friends without whom there are many books I would never have picked up and loved; a non-fiction book would be dedicated to the historical figure or all the anonymous lives that are honored and remembered; a book of poetry would be dedicated to the whispering muse who plays with words in my head...

Dessert Name a beverage that you enjoy. coffee--there is nothing like a really good cup of coffee made from fresh beans; clear water with no taste or aftertaste; a cuppa tea on a snowy or rainy afternoon; hot cocoa to wind down at the end of the day; Bailey's Irish Cream to get jiggy; and last, but never least, tequila (I suspect it would be the death of me now).
