Friday's Feast

Feast One Hundred & Thirteen

Appetizer
What is your favorite herb or spice?

Tikka. It's the only Indian spice I know how to use.

Soup
Name a song you like but haven't heard in a long time.

"Hallelujah Chorus" (Handel). Also "Silent Night," especially the version Stevie Nicks did.

Salad
If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be?

Depends on how picky I wanted to get. Is "need" the same as "should"? I could probably make it into the 30s pretty handily, especially today.

Main Course
Tell something interesting about one of your family members (nothing scandalous, please, just something unique).

When I was dating Beast (read: when I was thin, Before Child), his thigh circumference was the same as my waist, give or take an inch. Fortunately for him, that's no longer true!

Dessert
What's the latest you've ever stayed awake?

In college, we had a trivia contest once a year at the campus radio station which ran from 6 p.m. Friday straight through 6 p.m. Sunday. I usually took an early Saturday morning shift--3 to 6 a.m., or 1 to 7 a.m. in one case. So that meant all night, ending just in time for breakfast and then a three-hour nap before starting on homework.

There were also a couple of travel days in Russia when we crossed so many time zones in just a couple of days that I never really knew what time it was, so I just slept when I could.
