What's the last new restaurant you tried that you didn't like? Drawing a blank on this...ETA: Okay this was awhile ago, but Stanford Grill in Columbia. The food was fine, but it was way overpriced and we were seated next to the band and it was so loud we couldn't talk to each other. I realize that makes me sound old, but this wasn't a bar-type place where you expect it to be loud.

misscastle · February 2012

- What's the last new restaurant you tried that you didn't like? We went to Cantler's in Annapolis for our anniversary in January because we had a gift card. It was OK, but not too impressive. I bet we'd like it better in the summer when we can sit on the deck, drink beer, and pick crabs.
- What's your go-to dish to bring to a party/pot luck? I mix it up. But typically its either buffalo chicken dip or crab dip.

- Do you take public transportation to work or drive or walk? I drive. I wish I could walk!
- If you could have a vacation home anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? Does it have to be one location? I'd love to spend a couple weeks visiting several European countries. So I suppose a Mediterranean cruise would be up my alley.
- Have you ever taken an RV trip? No...and no desire to. I hate road trips.

LoveLossHopeRepeat · February 2012

What's the last new restaurant you tried that you didn't like? Sushi Hana in Towson. It wasn't bad, exactly, but it had nothing on our local favorite Fuji Sushi.

What's your go-to dish to bring to a party/pot luck? I don't particularly have one, since I like to use events as an excuse to make something new. Spinach and artichoke dip and shrimp pasta salad are dishes that I've made far more than once, though.

What was your favorite book as an adolescent/teen? I didn't have a single one - I read voraciously and had countless "favorites".

What's your favorite candy? Generally, Caramel Twix. Right now I'm not eating candy - sweets just don't appeal.

Do you take public transportation to work or drive or walk? N/A

If you could have a vacation home anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? Edinburgh, Scotland, absolutely!

Have you ever taken an RV trip? No, but I'd love to do it at some point! My sister owns an RV and their family has a ball going various places. I don't envision owning one, but I can imagine a week-or-two-week-long trip with my husband, kid(s) and Mom, and having an incredible time.

I felt that way when DH and I checked out Tsunami in Annapolis a couple of years ago. There wasn't a band, but the place definitely had a club feel. We were seated directly across from each other and could barely hold a conversation. I left feeling old and decidedly un-hip, but that's okay - I like what I like, and that kind of environment just wasn't it for me.

blynn11 · February 2012

Hmm..Chazz's in Harbor East. THe atmosphere was nice, but the food was just ehh. Could be because I experienced some of the worst heartburn ever after eating there.

What's your go-to dish to bring to a party/pot luck?
I usually offer to bring a salad or homemade mac & cheese.

What was your favorite book as an adolescent/teen?
I was a big fan of the Babysitter's Club book series

gummy candies, york peppermint patties, 3 musketeers...I love candy!

I drive to the office daily, but walk to a lot of the local community meetings I attend in the evenings for work.

tspring82 · February 2012

What's the last new restaurant you tried that you didn't like? The Mallet in Fallston. The bar scene (in the bottom back) was great when we were there for HH, but the food is eh. That poor place has been so many things. It's like the corner of death.

What's your go-to dish to bring to a party/pot luck? My current fav is Mac-n-Cheese with a protein because I have a microwave recipe for it that people swear is on par with fancy restaurants. It's only 2 steps and it crazy good.

What was your favorite book as an adolescent/teen? I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books!

What's your favorite candy? Peanut Butter M&M's

Do you take public transportation to work or drive or walk? a combo of all of the above...DH and I carpool to work. If we're on time, then depending on the shoes I'm in I'll either walk over to my office from the Stadium, hop on the Light Rail if it's there or hop on a bus. If we're running late, I go to DH's office in Pigtown and take a bus over to my office. And in the event DH doesn't come to work, I take an Express Bus from White Marsh. Parking downtown is too $$. Before I worked for MTA, I had never stepped foot on public transit.

If you could have a vacation home anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? In Stone Harbor...it's where we grew up going and is really the only beach I've gone to that I have loved and just holds the best family memories for me. I'd love to be able to have a place available and be able to share it with my family.

Have you ever taken an RV trip? No, but I'd love to take 3 months off and drive cross country

What's the last new restaurant you tried that you didn't like? I can't think of one, but the last place I went that I didn't like what I got was The Dogwood. I love it there normally, but I got short ribs, and didn't realize how fatty they were, YUCK.
