fête à fête

Brought to you by my dear friend Stevie, the fashionista behind the fab blog LA-Story. Stella from Well Above Average (another fabulous blog BTW, so go read it!!) got us hooked into this game - she challenged us with the Ten Questions Game, and as a result I got tagged in the process.

“write a blog with ten weird, random things, little known facts or habits about yourself. At the end choose at least 5 people to be tagged, list their names and why you picked them. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you’ve been tagged’ and tell them to read your latest blog.”

So...here goes!

1. I can be a food freak. I've backpacked in Europe in search of some obscure brand of condiments...I've also convinced a friend to drive 2 hours each way to a fancy orchard to pick heirloom-variety pluots and nectarines. Yeah, I'm a bit of a zealot.

2. I like chicken feet and fish heads. Yum. I also like expensive gourmet chocolates.

3. I own more bottles of beauty potions and makeup (I have 20+ pairs of fake lashes!) than any normal gal in her right mind should have.

4. While most girls swoon over labels like Malandrino, Dior, or Chanel, I prefer the delicate macarons from the famed patisserie Dalloyau or the loveliest ice cream from Berthillon in Paris.

5. Most of my tiny kitchen space is dedicated to precious baking supplies and equipment. You can never have too many cake pans, flavored syrups, colored gels, cookie molds, flours, extracts, or cookbooks.

6. I check out the dessert menu and make my selection before ordering my entree.

7. I own 8 pairs of Camper shoes. They're so comfy and CUTE - can you blame me?

8. I usually tear up when I watch a particular scene from "In the Mood for Love" by Wong Kar Wai. It's such a beautifully made film, from the music to the cinematography to the clothes.

9. I'm a dancing fiend. Salsa, swing, Argentine tango, cha-cha, waltz, polka, you name it, I'll try it.

10. I've been to 16 countries and 116 cities.

My 5 friends to tag:
