Friday Party Buffet

Appetizer
Name 3 people whom you admire for their intelligence.
-I really respect and admire my junior/senior year high school english teacher. The passion this man has for the written word is infectious.
-I also admire my former anchor in Lexington. The man is brilliant, sensitive, and perhaps the best living sound machine/impersonator I've ever met.
-Finally, I admire Jessica Simpson for her intelligence. Seriously, that chick has made a boatload of money playing dumb. Yeah, she's dumb, dumb like a fox.

Soup
What's the last food you tried that you really didn't care for.
That's tough because I pretty much like everything. I recently tried some tabouleh at Kroger that I didn't care for. I typically like tabouleh though, so it just must be their recipe.

Salad
If you could rename the street that you live on, what would you want it to be called?
I guess I would rename it Island Avenue as an homage to the street my home's on in Connecticut. Oh how I do miss the Shoreline.

Main Course
When was the last time you were genuinely surprised?
When my lights got shut off Wednesday. I was surprised because my bill isn't horribly late and I hadn't received a disconnect notice. I was thrilled when the juice started flowing again five minutes later. Can you tell I've had my own personal power outage parties before?

Dessert
Share a household tip.
Baking soda is a miracle. I use it to take stains out, to freshen garbage cans, to clean pipes (pour down your drains).
