Quick Quiz Time!

I might have mentioned that GPOM is a foodie.  If I haven't, then clearly I need some sort of professional help, because not even one day goes by without some conversation about food he's had, is having, or is about to make.  And thank Christmas, because learning how to make a burrito in the oven rather than the microwave is stretching my culinary brains to places that involve...a whole lot of use of the trash can.

So is it any surprise that I asked him if he wanted to try out for Top Chef?  We talked of it briefly over the weekend, and I just remembered rightnow (thanks, Facebook!) so I looked up the application.  It's about ten pages of questions and fifteen of legalese, so clearly I felt comfortable.  But there were, let's say, Quickfire Questions, ones that I wrote down to ask him, but can't seem to stop myself from answering for myself here.

Ready?  Let's go!

1.  Create a culinary interpretation of the lyric of "Five Golden Rings" from the song "Twelve Days of Christmas".
     I'm thinking of something served on one of those paper plates that separates the foods so that incredibly picky eaters like myself can play with the grownups too.

2.  Create a dish inspired by the color blue.
     Yeah yeah seafood yeah yeah.  How about some Jell-O?  Everyone loves Jell-O!  Maybe some Knox Blox even?

3.  Recreate meatloaf into a gourmet dish.
     You should know that I initially typed "meatloaf" as "meatload".  I believe that question has been answered.

4.  Describe yourself in one word.
     Moody.

5.  How would someone else describe you in one word?
     Moody.

6.  What would someone close to you describe as your best and worst traits?
     Loyalty and neediness.

7.  Describe your most embarrassing moment.
     This question requires that I rank my many and varying humiliations, and I decline to do so.  I did have a tough day with a lady problem in junior high.  I think you know what I mean.

8.  Odd fact or talent?
     My ability to tell the internet my life story?  Sheesh, I don't know.  I can write in mirror writing; how's that?

9.  Favorite TV shows, movies, magazines, and books?
     TV show: The entire Bravo network family of programming.
     Movies:  Boring question.  I did like Quills.
     Magazines:  I currently subscribe to O and Glamour, so I guess they count.
     Books:  I read incessantly.  I read crap and literature and short stories and trade magazines when they're all I've got.  It's hard to pick favorites.

There you go!  A little more about your favorite _____________________.
