most favorite cheap eat
This really cheap Chinese place down the street that delivers, and has huge portions. It tastes pretty much the same as your average Chinese delivery/carry-out, but they manage to have about 80% of the prices of other places, and 120% of the portions, so we eat it for 3 or 4 days for $35.
Your favorite year of college.
Senior, when I graduated with highest honors in zoology.
Fave college class?
“Deaf Culture in America,” taught by my favorite college professor, Dr. Barbara Kannapell.
Your favorite professor.
English 101 Professor McKelvin - he was a true southern gentleman who could make you look 2 inches tall with a snide comment, but could provoke you to do your best. His very first day he said “Drop/Add is just down the hall.” He had a pretty twisted sense of humor. When we studied Hamlet, he said upon finding out her father was killed by the title character, Ophelia felt the same as when a young child is told by their mother “Come touch the hot stove, dearie!” I credit him for making me become a heavy reader.
Most favorite name of a sports team
William Peacock, taught Inuktitut at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Most of my favorite professors taught foreign languages.
Ninja. Favorite sports team name, Vermilion Flycatchers, a baseball team in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. Vermilion flycatcher is the name of a bird species.
Favorite bird you have seen in your yard.
Black Phoebe. A cute lil’ bird that likes to taunt my cats.
Fav hot sauce
Valentina. At about a dollar a liter, I can use all I want.
Favorite doughnut counter choice.
A cruller and coffee. They go well together.
Favorite Dustin Hoffman movie?
Is there one where he dies? Oh, wait-- All the President’s Men managed to be great despite the presence of Hoffman-- or maybe because Bernstein was in real life a disgusting lech (disgusting people can still do great things), and it bubbles just under the surface of Hoffman’s portrayal.
Favorite hotdog composition (ie, pork, beef, turkey, soy, etc., or some combination)
The best composition is generally the kind where I don’t really know
Favorite item grown fresh in the garden
Tomato.
Favorite child you know personally (who is a child right now).
