Sunday/Monday Fives

Well, as asisaid.com readers know, I don't normally do Friday Fives, but occassionally I get in a weird mood and decide to do one. Tonight, I'm going to do the last two.

This past week's:

1. What brand of toothpaste do you use? Arm & Hammer.

2. What brand of toilet paper do you prefer? I like Scott's — you know, the stuff with 1,000 sheets. It lasts a long time, which is nice.

3. What brand(s) of shoes do you wear? Well, most of the time you'll find me in sandals, and for the most part those will be Birkenstocks. I also have a Easy Spirit sandal and my well worn Easy Spirit sneakers for when it gets cold. The brand of my dress shoes escapes me at the moment.

4. What brand of soda do you drink? Coca-Cola and, for variety, Dr. Pepper. Occassionally I'll go for a Vess soda, preferably Cherry Cola, but not very often. At any rate, Kevin got me started on drinking less soda, and I'm happy to say I've dramatically reduced my cola consumption (probably down 50% from my high of six liters [that is, three bottles] a week). I prefer water.

5. What brand of gum do you chew? I don't like gum.

Last week's Friday Five…

1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
I like bottled water, in particular Aquafina, but Coca-Cola's brand (name escapes me at midnight) is good too. Tap is alright, although I never realized how “bad” it was until I got a water purifier on my sink. Now I only drink that from the tap.

2. What are your favorite flavor of chips? Probably “Original,” although I like BBQ as well. I consistently prefer just a good old salted chip though, and a freshly cooked chip is even better.

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most? Probably my barbecued burgers.

4. How do you have your eggs? As I see it, there are two ways to eat eggs: fried or as an omelet. I prefer an omelet, especially one with ham, cheese, green pepper, onion, and possibly jalapeno.

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out? Well, being a holiday, my mother made a very good meal I enjoyed today. Nothing fancy, but she always makes a nice dinner on Memorial Day Sunday that I enjoyed. BBQ'ed sausage, cheese and broccoli rice, stir fried vegetables, apple sauce and brownies with Eddy's vanilla bean ice cream.
