Friday's Feast

Feast Eighty-Eight

Appetizer
Name a trait you share with your parents or your children.

We have a genetic inability to suffer fools gladly, or at least extensively. Not sure if Sparky picked it up; perhaps he got his dad's people skills.

Soup
List 3 qualities of a good leader, in your opinion.

1) Ability to shut mouth
2) Ability to open ears
3) Ability to fire useless people

Salad
Who is your favorite television chef?

I don't watch cooking on TV. Having said that, I enjoyed Iron Chef the one time I (was allowed to) watch it, mostly because it's so hilarious. And I think Julia Child was wonderfully amusing as well.

Main Course
Share a story about a gift you received from someone you love.

Beast brought me flowers when he picked me up from work on Saturday. He does that sometimes now. It's taken him awhile to understand that it's ok to get them at the grocery store and I don't require roses.

Dessert
How do you react under pressure?

Judging by today's unannounced tests of the fire alarm at work, I become very methodical. I paused Launchcast, lined up pencils and pens on my desk next to the books I was working on, grabbed my work-bag and popped out of my chair in about 4 seconds flat.

Generally, I say I rise to the occasion fairly well, especially if there are things to be done. I'm NOT good at standing around.
