Marvelous Mandy – from The Complete Cookbook had this cool idea for bloggers to get to know one another better. It was fun answering these Foodie Questions. Make sure you check out Mandy’s blog! And follow this same format if you’re so inclined, biaaatches.
Thank You, Mandy!
1. What 5 items are always in your fridge?
Milk, eggs, hummus, ( I eat so much hummus, I have it coming out of my ears ) diet coke, & real whip cream.
I buy Sabra.
2. What 5 items are always in your pantry ?
oooooooOh, I wish I had a pantry! But if I did, I’d have brown sugar, chocolate chips, white sugar, flour, & fiber bars in there.
3. Do you write a grocery list or do you shop off the cuff?
Yes. Always. But I forget it at home! Always. I’m a dork like that.
4. What is the most used item/s in your kitchen?
My coffee pot & microwave.
5. What do you have in your kitchen that may seem strange to other people?
Photos of my family all over the side of my microwave….Lots of photos of my sister, Kay.
6. If you were to enter a Come Dine With Me challenge, what would you cook?
Starter: Caesar salad w/ big garlic croutons ( I looove Caesar Salad!) can I put raw eggs in, Mandy?
Mains: It would definitely have to be something Italiano. Spaghetti with my daddy’s homemade sauce & sweet Italian sausage. Thickly cut garlic bread. Mozzarella for topping.
Dessert: I make a mean, naughty, sexy Crème Brulee. No, seriously. Stop laughing.
7. If you could invite any 4 living celebrities to dinner, who would they be?
Sooo many, but these people are on the top of my brain: Maya Angelou, Lady Gaga, Bono, & Anderson Cooper.
– I loooove Gaga.
8. What is your favorite breakfast out?
I order the same thing every. single. time at this little gem of a restaurant (which by the way, Guy Fieri featured on his show) called The Duluth Grill. I order the Mediterranean Omelet. And it is Out of this Planet– Good.
9. What one condiment could you not be without?
Hellman’s Mayonnaise w/ olive oil
10. Some people seemed to have a problem eating leftovers or reheated food, do you?
My family goes Craaazy. For example: I make a whole chicken on Sunday. On Monday, I make chicken sandwiches. On Tuesday, I make chicken soup. On Wednesday, I toss the chicken bones under our pine tree for our skunks & raccoons, which they probably choke on. Get the picture? Put it this way; my fam woud have survived during the Great Depression.
Watch This Classic Anderson Cooper Clip. I’m telling you, He is soooooooo sexy!
Dear, Reader–What 5 items must you have in your fridge at ALL TIMES? Which 4 stars would you invite to dinner?
What a great list! Being a foodie, I love that you make a mean, sexy creme brulee! It’s one of my favorites…I make a black and white creme brulee with chocolate ganache on the bottom…
—Ann,
what is a black and white brulee? OMG. Show me how! xx
“On Wednesday, I toss the chicken bones under our pine tree for our skunks & raccoons, which they probably choke on.”
LMAO!!!
Gag’s a piece of work! Gluing pearls on the face…..ooooooooooooooooooooook. Love her music though!
I’m like you with the shopping list….make one out, forget the damn thing! So then it’s shopping off the cuff!
Irene,
I know. And then I buy everything that I am HUNGRY for at the moment.
& I always forget my coupons, as well. Dumb Ass. Xx
What a fun meme!!
I always have in my fridge: milk, butter, eggs, ice cream and cheese. Yup, we are dairy freaks here.
4 stars I’d invite for dinner: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Hugh Jackman. Yes, I like my dinner guests handsome.
Oh, Yeah, Baby!
I had George on my list and then I put Anderson Cooper in his place. You have very good taste mama. xxx That would be some dinner.
—Vidya,
And you are Bloggable 2!!!!!!!
Yes, I am coming to India to have you make dinner for me. What will you make? I looooooove Indian food Xxxx
You name it. You got it.
In my fridge–Sabra Hummus, too! My entire family loves the stuff. Also, organic fat-free milk, Tropicana Calcium OJ (no pulp); and lemon yogurt.
Who’d I invite for dinner? Do they have to be alive? If not, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Colin Firth (because a girl can dream, can’t she?) and Linda Scottoline, whose book, “Why My Third Husband will be a Dog,” is a hoot!
—-Monica,
Your list sounds VERY interesting. Steve Martin. I just look at him and laugh. And after The King’s Speech….I am madly in love with Colin ! WOWWWW! xx
I am stopping in from The Lady Bloggers! I like the style of the layout here, very refreshing! And the interview is fun, what do I have? Egg whites, mushrooms, peppers, chicken. And I doubt I would invite anyone as no one wants to eat my damn diet food! ha ha ha
—-Kristy,
I looked at your site.
Unbelievable! I’ve never known a body builder…but I sooooooo respect you gals.
So much hard work. And look what you get! Great Abs & Madonna Arms! I love it. x
Ooo…I’d love to try your creme brulee. And your Daddy’s homemade sauce with spaghetti…and your Caesar’s salad too! All of which could be included in my last meal list.
Seriously I have only tasted hummus once and wouldn’t know how to eat it if I ever buy it. Do you use it as a spread?
—Mom2kiddos,
well, don’t just sit there….
come on over for spaghetti & some sexy creme brulee!
I dip chips or cracker in the hummus & drink red wine with it! MMMMMMMMMMMM xx
I love reading your lists Kim because we are so,so similar! #10 made me chuckle !xxx
—Lorraine,
I’d loooooooooooooove to know what you would make for your dinner quests….also, who would you have over? Dexter? True Blood Characters?
Can I come? xxxx
Just love how you stretchhhhhhh that chicken
Unfortunatelly I dont have time right now to read more than a few posts, but will come back and read some more later, as I like the energy here.
Of to cook for some American guests thats coming over for lunch today.
Stone Maiden,
I get it.
I’ve subscribed to so many blogs that I’ts hard to read all of them,
….but I have my faves.
Have fun with your Americans !! xx
Hmmm …. I’m not much of a cook but let’s see. There is always Coca~Cola in my fridge, there is always butter in my fridge, there is always Miracle Whip in my fridge, there is always American Cheese singles in my fridge and there is always Sicilia lemon juice in my fridge.
My dinner guests would include a good mix of pop culture folks and political peeps. I think I’d invite Keith Olbermann, Trace Adkins, Bill Maher, Jon Bon Jovi, Joe Biden and Perez Hilton. *laughs* That’s 6, I know but you never know when someone’s gonna cancel at the last minute.
—Carol Anne,
Bill Maher?…..Oh, you want some controversy, huh? Jon Bon Jovi…Oh My Heart.
And I hear Perez is nice these days. Sounds like a FUN dinner…..and of course, with wine!
..xx
Kim, thank you for playing along – I loved reading all of your answers; it’s always fun learning more about each other.
Mandy xo
Oh, yes, you can use raw eggs – try and use organic if you can though.
The Anderson Cooper video clip is too funny!
Have a happy Sunday friend, and thank you for the link back.
—-Mandy,
thanks for the fun idea!
Anderson….Don’t you just love him? Such a beautiful man. xxxx Kiss for you.
Love that Anderson Cooper clip (and yes, I love him too!) – gotta love a guy that laughs at his own potty humor. I would invite Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Ewan McGregor, and Antonio Banderas and watch them all fight over me. (Hey… it could happen!)
Great list Kim. Oh, and I loooove Sabra hummus – the best!
——–Charlene,
I love your list. All HOT dudes that would be fighting over you…but who would you pick if you had to pick only ONE?
You are a very naughty girl. And I love ya for your craziness.
from your other crazy hummus loving friend. xxxxx
Kim, what a fun list! I too go through the trouble of making a grocery list only to leave it at home. Add my name to the dork list! By the way, you had me at “naughty, sexy Crème Brulee”! So glad you didn’t include this at the beginning of the post, since I don’t know if I would’ve been able to continue reading! hee hee! One question: How different does the Hellman’s mayo with olive taste in comparison to the regular Hellman’s?
—Bella,
I actually think it’s the same, but the consumer assumes it’s better when they see “Made with Olive Oil” On the jar. HAAAAAAAAA. At least I do.
Well, Who would you have over for dinner? xxxxxxxxx
Fridge – fresh raw milk, raw milk cheese, sweet peppers, hot peppers (habanero & jalapeno), and… and… well poop. Let me go look at what is in there. Fiji water. No no, heavy whipping cream – can’t live without that!
Pantry: Millstone Bed & Breakfast coffee beans, cocoa powder, raw & organic sugar, raw alfalfa honey (yum), all my herbs and spices!
Grocery list or I buy much no-no stuff! Most item used: French press and oven. It would probably what is NOT in my kitchen – no microwave. Come Dine Challenge: tossed salad with toasted pecans and mandarin oranges and honey lemon vinegar dressing, stuffed manacotti with crusty sourdough French bread smothered in garlic butter. After a heavy dinner, a small bowl of sugared strawberries with a dallop of fresh whipped whipping cream.
As for living celebrities: Bruce Willis because I think he’d keep us laughing; ditto Slyvester Stallone; Helen Mirren just because she’s so down-to-earth and seems to have a dry humor; Angelina Jolie (sly humor) and I guess she could bring her boyfriend, old what’s his name (but he doesn’t count as a guest ’cause they’re a couple); hmmm – right now I can’t think of a fifth celebrity who’s humor I like – but I wanna rock the house with laughter. Oh oh – The Rock, Dwayne Johnson – he’s very funny too. You will notice that the men are stuffed full of toss-tost-ter-rone!!!
Oooo – I saw that episode with the Duluth Grill!! My fave breakfast out is biscuits and gravy! Condiment: agree -Hellman’s mayo! I have no problemo with leftovers (they’re usually better the next day) but Alpha Hubby? Not so much – whines a lot. This was fun – now I’m hungry!
Sorry it was sooooo long!
Toss-tost-ter-rone!!!
Well, I expected nothing less from you, Nan.
Bruce, The Rock, Stallone. Now those are MEN. Alpha MEN.
And I agree about Jolie & Pitt. They are one. Bradalinna, or something like that.
And then add a bit of Helen Mirren. Gosh, I love her.
Your meal sounds amazing. Damn, I want to come over so I can
watch you cook in that gorgeous kitchen. I love the way your pans hang down from the ceiling.
I have an idea: DO A vlog like that! You can cook that meal in your “home and garden” Kitchen.
Yes, I’ll be waiting, Chickie. xxxxxxxxx
Welllll, maybe. That might be fun. It’s been so long since I made manicoti that it might be one of those food-tossing shows instead (i.e., grrr, augh, forget it, moan, groan, why do these things keep ripping….). I shoulda said test-toss-ter-own – I was just overwhelmed by all of that manly man-ness!!
I like the idea of a virtual dinner party.. Instead of a blog hop, a dinner party with each of us contributing to the mean. I enjoy cooking, it’s relaxing to me to combine and invent. If I am stressed, the family knows they will be eating gourmet (my version not professional and television quality). I an never without sweet paprika, fresh basil, lemons, and cilantro. Everything else is the fridge and cupboard is anybody’s guess. Creme Brulee–nothing better. I love it. I also like pie, but no one in my house likes pie so I never make. I can’t even remember the last time I had pie (my waistline and the size of my bum are relieved I never eat pie.)
–Dear, B.
if we lived near one another … we would so have pie together w/ Red Wine “) xx
LMAO about the reheating food. You should have mentioned that you take EVERYTHING home from the restaurant, NOTHING goes to waste in your house. Andrew and I left a pizza out overnight and Andrew had to go out to the garbage can to toss it becaus he was scared you’d save it to feed to Dave and he’d get sick! so funny Kim!
Oh, Don’t tell people that, A. !!
xxx Miss you.
They may assume I’m crazier than I am!!
PS. put it this way, I despise waste…and that goes for POOP, as well.
Hi Kimmy.
In bed drinking my coffee,reading your blog & watching
The Bachelor & the Bobby Soxer- Cary Grant yumm
So to tell you I miss your home made Caesar salad,
fetticine & chocolate cake u did for my birthday!!!! You
also make the best creme brûlée !!!! Please post the poem
you write about creme brûlée. You are the most creative fun host
You would put martha Stewart to shame.
I still have my name card from one of your luncheons with
The beautiful dragon fly & ” kind ” word on it. Fun memories.
You are always so fun!!!! Love you XOXO. K
Dear, Kimmy 2,
LUV You.
—–you are sooooooooo sweet.
I love that you are drinking coffee in bed, watching Cary Grant, & reading my
blog. My, what a multi-tasker you are!
Yes, those luncheans were fun…mostly, because you were there.
Kim- I usually go shopping on the cuff. In the fridge, peppers of all kinds, skim milk, miracle whip, eggs, &
all kinds of veggies. Most item used in the kitchen, (coffee pot) (To have dinner with)- Jack, Graham,The New York Yankees & Chuck Norris. I would like to have Angelia too, but I couldn’t stop looking at her.
The dessert i would like would love to have , your (CREAM BRULEE).
Love You More Than cream brulee
Daddy
———–Daddy,
Cream Brulee is the BOMB
I shall make you some! xxx
Love you more that that
So much fun! Love the real whip cream. Oh and your proposed dinner sounds divine… Yum to Caesar salad and double yum to creme brulee!! I think I would fit in well with your guest list – me and Gaga smiling at Bono and learning from Angelou
Dear, Kelly,
Superb Idea.
I shall sit you next to Bono & Gaga ….
& Angelou can recite “Phenomenal Women,” to all of us. Oh, Heaven ! xx
PS. Oh, what about Anderson??
I love your celebrity dinner party guests! What a crazy assortment!
—-Emily,
!
I know. I think they’d all be a gas to be with
Ummm, are we the same person. Hummus. Morning, noon and night. I can’t pass by the fridge without grabbing me some hummus.
In my opinion, a caesar salad is not a proper one without a raw egg and some anchovies.
And hellman’s mayo with olive oil is a stock up item in my house.
And then there’s, of course, Bono. When you have this dinner party, will you invite me? And pay no mind if Bono and I slip out quietly. I’ll blog about it later.
—Um, Joann,
as I recall,
didn’t you do a blog about Bono?
….Or was that some other chick that wanted to go home (to bed) w/ him.
Not only is the guy HOT -but he’s a humanitarian.
Did I say he’s HOT as hell?
xx
Your hilarious! I definitely would like to attend your celebrity dinner party. Why can men have gray hair and be so handsome and women cannot! And your creme brulee sound so good! Best wishes to your skunks and racoons.
—–Grumpy,
I shall invite you when I have my dinner party.
I am just waiting for Bono to confirm; he’s on tour right now.
Thanks for stopping over. Love your blog. Xx
I LOVE Lady Gaga, but you had me at Creme Brulee, girlie! That is one sexy, decadent dessert. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I’m gonna answer a couple of those foodie Q’s here, if that’s ok.
1. 5 foods in my frig? Diet Pepsi, cheap red wine, strawberry cream cheese, yogurt and eggs.
4. Most used items? Coffee pot and blender (margaritas–one of the 4 food groups)
8. Fave breakfast out? Belgian waffles…oh lordy.
9. Must have condiment? Baileys irish cream
J/K! Ketchup
HUGZZZZZZ
–Dear, sweet, underwear to the floor, Terri,
I shall make you creme brulee on day and you will piss your pant more
than you do now! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Love your list. Cheap wine, Huh?
Hugzzzzzzzzzzz Kiss
I want to come to your dinner party! That guest list would make a fun night. Especially if we got Andy giggling. ( I call him Andy, we’re tight like that)
—-Bridget,
Andy? I didn’t know you guys were tight. Love it.
I think he is soooooooo damn sexy. Especially when he giggles like that. HOT.
xx
thanks for sharing
Tandy—-Anytime.
Now I’m hungry.
I always have chocolate chips in my house. They are a necessity for pancakes.
————ohhhhhhhhhh, Jessica,
Chocolalate Chip Pancakes. What a delicacy!
Yum! I love creme brulee – and coffee – and chocolate!
—Lady, Fi,
Oh, yeah, Baaaby! Xx
LOL – you are too funny. I had a salivary gland squirt when I saw your Dad’s homemade sauce. And you make creme brulee? Ummm wait, didn’t you just post about your prowess with beans on toast?
And Sabra’s Greek Olive hummus is the BEST EVER!!
I’m going to answer your questions on my blog.
—Linda,
Do you make Creme Brulee?
If so, I bet is is one mean sexy dessert!
Yes, do this on your blog. I’d like to get to know you a little better
I’ve never made it, but I’m equipped. I just HAD to have a creme brulee set, complete with torch – 2 years sitting in the drawer.
I just pulled it out of the drawer, thanks to you, and might get up the courage to do it.
I’m gonna need that recipe for the creme brulee.
I will put it up for you (FL) !! xxx
I LOVED THIS KIM!!! I just I HAD to take you up on this and post to my Skirt blog so everyone could know ME better…
