The Awesome Food Award // Answer Roundup

Sooo.....I got this really fun and great idea from Naomi during her Jane Austen Week. Basically, she went through all the tags that people had done (in this case, it's going to be all the lovely people I nominated :) and then put up her favourite answers to the questions. So yeah, that's what I'm going to do right now ;)

First of all, here are all the people who did the tag either on their blog or in the comments box*:

Victoria N. *

Faith P. // Realization // The Awesome Food Award

Tiffany C. *

Shai Ireland // The Awesome Food Award

Olivia N. // The Awesome Food Award

Emily McConnell // The Most Excellent Food Award

Tiger Lily*

If you've done the post and you don't see your name up here, just let me know and I'll pop it on ;) But let me just say, thank you to everyone who did do it! I had a lot of fun reading your answers, and lots of laughs involved here! 

1. Chocolate or vanilla?

Okay, so here, it was kinda hard because the answer is either chocolate or vanilla. So I'll just tell you the ratio between chocolate and vanilla. 

Chocolate

Faith P.

Tiffany C.

Tiger Lily (possibly, her answer is somewhat vague... :P)

Vanilla

Olivia N. 

Emily McConnell

Shai Ireland

Victoria N. 

Soooo...the ratio here is 4:3, with the vanilla's one point ahead of the chocolate! (to be honest, I thought the chocolate was going to win! :) 

2. Favourite dessert? 

I had this really amazing cake this year… It was a lemon cake with ice cream(vanilla I think) and raspberry sauce on top. It was sooo delicious. (Olivia N.)

 Cheesecake! Chocolate cheesecake if that's a possibility, but cherry is great too. :) I also believe  boiled cookies are to die for. (That's what we call them. I think there real name is no-bake cookies or something.) (Faith P.)

3. Imagine that it's freezing cold, there's lots of snow, and you just came in from playing outside. Would you prefer to drink hot chocolate or coffee?

This is kind of like the first question, but I'll put the ratio and a couple of answers here :) 

Ratio. . . 1:6!!! Aww...Faith, looks like we're the only coffee lovers here right now! ;) Oh well, actually, Shai did say that she likes coffee too.... :) 

Hot chocolate! Although I do like drinking coffee to wake me up, you just can't beat coco and tons of marshmallows! (Shai Ireland)

Hot chocolate, because coffee makes me sleepy. ;) (Emily McConnell)

4. Favourite pie/cake?

Pecan Pie. Yumm!!! (Victoria N.)

For pie, I would say apple, for cake, I think I would pick chocolate of some kind. (Tiger Lily)

5. What is a dessert that you love making/is the easiest thing you can make?

Cookies are easiest. (Tiffany C.)

Jello! It is sooo easy to make and comes in so many different colors!!!! (Shai Ireland)

6. What is a meal that you love making/is the easiest thing you can make?

My famous Yak Burger Quiche! Sooo good. It’s very simple to make, too. The quiche I make doesn’t take very long. I use several different types of meat- from pork to ham to chicken to bacon- but I like using yak the most. :) (Emily McConnell)

 Spagetti, salad, and garlic toast is the simplest thing I can think of and I love it! :) (Faith P. )

7. Is there a food that you hope that you'll never have to eat in your life time?

I'm going to put all of your answers here because honestly I can not choose which ones are my absolute favourite. They are all soooo funny!! :) 

Raw fish, raw meat or an undercooked egg... I think you all can see a theme here :). (Shai Ireland)

Don’t ever make me eat sushi, please! ;) (Emily McConnell)

Yes It's Lentil Dull. Gross! (Victoria N. )

Last Saturday I had blue cheese crumbles for the first time in my life and found it to be disgusting in my opinion. If anyone likes these, I'm not saying anything against you. But, in my opinion, that stuff is terrible. I want to gag thinking about it... I guess that's more like something I hope I'll never have to eat again, but that's all I can think of. ;) (Faith P.)

Probably bugs, especially spiders. *shudders* (Tiger Lily)

Can't think of anything!! (Tiffany C.)

I’m not sure, probably grasshoppers or something like that. :( (Olivia N. )

8. The strangest dish you've ever eaten?

There's nothing really strange, maybe some thing my sisters made. (Tiffany C.)

Well, I've eaten alligator but I'm not sure you'd call that strange. (Faith P.)

A Swedish dish of squash soup and Swedish hardtack. It was actually really good. That’s the only thing I can think up right now. ;) Oh, wait! My friend and I back when we were very little put cheese and popcorn on chocolate cookies. That was strange but kinda good. ;) (Emily McConnell)

9. Favourite mealtime? Why?
All of them! Because I am a Hobbit at heart :). (Shai Ireland)

Breakfast, maybe? I just love it… plus you can eat really good food for breakfast. (Olivia N.)

Dinner! Because everyone’s there! (That seems to be a common answer..) (Tiger Lily)

10. How do you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? :) 

By putting peanut butter on both sides of the bread and skipping the jelly. ;) I can’t stand jelly and peanut butter touching each other. Yuck. ;) (Emily McConnell)

Haha! I get a piece of bread, put peanut butter  on and then the jelly on top. (Olivia N. )

You take 2 slices of bread, spread jelly on one side, peanut butter on the other, squish them together and eat it:D Unless you’re making it for someone else, because they might be upset if you eat their sandwich:P (Tiger Lily)

Do I need to come to your house and teach you, Blessing? (I'm kidding.) ;) 

You take two pieces of bread and lay them on your plate. Then you spread peanut butter on one and jelly on the other. Smack 'me together and eat! :) Well, I don't because I don't like PB&Js. :) (Faith P.)

spread peanut butter on one piece of bread and spread jelly one the other. then put them together.
actually, I don't think I've made one before, but that's how I would make it. I would rather have bread with butter!:) (Tiffany C.)

Thanks again for doing the tag, girls! :) 

Sisterhood Award!

I was tagged yet again! A thousand thanks to Emily McConnell from The Imaginary World of Emily McConnell! All of your questions are a ton of fun to answer....and sooo extremely random! :P :D XD

So, now for the rules:

-Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site.

-Put the award logo on your blog.

-Answer the ten questions sent to you

-Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer.

-Nominate ten blogs.

Here are my answers to Emily's hilarious questions! ;) 

You discover that someone you’ve known your whole life is in fact- not real. Reaction?

What???? That can't happen! That . is . not . allowed . to . be!!

Favorite old TV show? (has to be earlier than the eighties)

Little House on the Prairie. (the one with Michael Landon, the two Melissas, Karen Grassle, and all those other great people! Oh, and don't forget about Alison Arngrim!)

You open your door to discover the dandelions in your yard have actually turned into real lions. How are you going to take care of this problem?

Whoa, really? Well, if that's possible.....then I guess these particular lions are also dandy lions? :P Let's just flood the yard and fill it with mud. It'll be too dirty for them to stand, right? (Wow, this is a really weird question, not to mention a really weird answer! I don't think I'm thinking straight right now, I'm very tired.... :D)

Guinea pigs or chinchillas?

Oh, I like both! Guinea pigs especially because of Bugsy in the movie Bedtime Stories. And chinchillas because of their ears and because it's fun to say chinchilla! :P 

(and some of my family is watching me while I'm typing and now they're all saying "Chinchilla, chinchilla, chinchilla.....)

Anyone wondering why his name is Bugsy? :P

Those EARS!!!

Do you follow world/national news much?

Not too much. Anyway, not as much as I should!

What’s your favorite verse in Revelation?

Oh, I love the entire book of Revelation! It's such a beautiful book, I can't choose just one verse!

Which Nordic (Scandinavian) country do you want to visit? Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Denmark or Norway?

Sweden!!! I don't know why, but I just really, really, really, like anything Swedish! Maybe it's because I read the Adventures of the Northwoods by Lois Walfrid Johnson. ;)

Do you know what the Baltics are?

Um......no. Who are they?

If one of your fictional characters (or a character from your favorite TV show or movie or book) was to be your mentor, who would you choose and why?

Well, the first person to come to mind is Lucy Winchester. She is a character that I really admire because of her patience, courage, gentleness, calmness; all traits that I need to work on!

And finally- would you rather be bucked off a horse and break your arm and a rib, stepped on by an elephant and break your leg or nearly drown in a river? (Okay, that’s just a weird question… ignore my random ponderings, this is how my mind works.) ;)

Just wondering, is it possible to get stepped on by an elephant and only get away with a broken leg? This would probably be one of the questions where I would go "Um....neither?" but if I really have to answer I think I would say nearly drown in a river. I think falling off a horse and getting stepped on by an elephant is scarier. :P

Now for the nominees!! But this time, instead of just bloggers, I'm going to name a few people that don't have blogs too. It's nice to find new blogs, but it's even more fun to hear people's answers! And so I want people to have a chance to answer the questions, even if you don't have a blog! :D
I'm only putting 10 names, but if I didn't put your name down and you want to answer the questions, feel free to do so! I love hearing everyone's answers :)

This is going to be so much fun!!! :)

Sooo, the nominees are: 

Tiffany C.

Gloria Lemon

Tiger Lily

Olivia from Like Mother Like Daughter

Amy from Living in Faith and Fun

Naomi from Wonderland Creek

Abigail from Cacciacarro Clan

Rebekah from Rebekah's Reading Room

Lydia Dyslin from Through the Wardrobe

Emily McConnell The Imaginary World of Emily McConnell

Alrighty, here are my questions! 

1. Do you know who the Willis Clan is? If you do, who told you or where did you find them?

2. Would you prefer to take care of a herd of 100 chickens, a herd of 20 wild horses, or a herd of 10 baby elephants?

3. If someone gave you a bow and a quiver of arrows and told you to shoot three arrows into one tight cluster on a board, do you think you would be able to do it? 

4. Have you ever dropped a watermelon? 
5. How many siblings do you have? Are you the oldest, the youngest, or right smack in the middle?
6. What is one tradition that you do (or try to do) during family birthdays? 
7. Say it was your birthday. Would you prefer to wake up and find 1. a new horse standing above you (yeah, I know, a horse in your room?!?), 2. a huge bouquet of your favourite flowers,  or 3. a stack of books that you've wanted to read for a loooong time? 
8. What is your favourite movie of the year?
9. Do you have a book or a series of books that you wish was made into a movie? If so, what is the name of the book(s)?
10. What is the craziest thing that you've done recently?

And then just because, I'm going to do two more questions ;) You can answer both, or just do one! 

How and when did you get involved with blogging? 

Do you think of actors by their real name or by their movie name? (e.g. Do you say Laura Ingalls or Melissa Gilbert from the movie Little House on the Prairie?) 

Have fun with the questions, and I can't wait to see your answers! :D

Just a random picture of Toblerone eating a granola bar ;)
