Favorite thing to treat yourself to?
Oh goodness. That's hard. I don't think I could answer that without a lot of thought. We had a hard time coming up with names. My favorites aren't necessarily my H's favorites, and that's what's freshest in my mind. I'll come back to this one.
I always only wanted 2. But during this pregnancy, I started really thinking I would like one more. But I started later than I expected I would and getting pregnant doesn't come easily for me, so I guess this will be it.
No, I only blog about the ones I really love these days. I was post happy in the beginning and blogged meals that were good, but maybe not amazing. Now, I'm fussier and could love something and won't even blog if it's a horrid picture (not than any of my pictures are that wonderful, but they've definitely improved.) I don't blog my flops, but I will remake and improve a dish that somehow went wrong and then post it.

If you could pick one word you would most like to be described as, what would it be?
And since this is "ask me anything", I'll ask you something weird. Do you want to be buried, cremated, cryogenically frozen...?
I'm jealous. We didn't plan well this year. Since driving to Ft. Myers isn't a great idea at this point of my pregnancy, we should have went when they just played the Oriels here is Sarasota.
I am constantly inspired by the many blogs I read. Sometimes I find recipes (from blogs, cookbooks, cooking magazines) and I just have to make them. Other times, I prefer to make them up as I go, allowing whatever is in the pantry or fridge to be my guide. (I don't menu plan and don't buy for specific recipes all that often.)
Other times, I'm feeling lazy and want to use certain ingredients and try to just find a recipe to follow. In those cases, I usually have something too specific in my mind and I wind up just coming up with it on my own anyhow. But no matter what, I rarely stick with a recipe all the way.
If you had 24 complete hours to yourself, no Sage or Beckett or pregnancy/Maisy, but you had to stay in and around Sarasota, what would you do?
What's your favorite fruit?
Truly, how good was the banana milkshake yesterday?
Kim and I had a playdate yesterday, and we took the boys to lunch at Chik-fil-a. They had all these advertisments for banana milkshakes and it must've been a pregancy craving because I would never normally get a milkshake, but I had to have one. When I went to order it though right before we left, Beckett wanted vanilla instead, so I got vanilla. When I got in the car, I discovered they accidently gave me banana and it was every bit as wonderful as I'd hoped it would be.
Omg, I'll have to get one of those from my local Chik-fil-a. Sounds wonderful! I love banana flavored things.
