1. What’s your favourite hot beverage? How do you make it?
I struggle to think of one other than coffee, which I of course drink every single day. I use a standard drip coffee machine to make Seattle's Best Coffee, currently Post Alley blend but previously Portside. I didn't even really notice the change when my subscribe-and-save order changed, probably because of Portside not being available at the time. They're pretty similar after the most important part gets added, Lucerne salted caramel creamer. There was a supply chain issue and salted caramel wasn't available for a while, and I learned that I only like a few flavors of Lucerne, and I don't like other brands of creamer at all. If Lucerne salted caramel were ever discontinued, I'd probably switch to syrup and half and half. Sometimes I toy with the idea of quitting coffee altogether.
2. When was the last time you saw an original hand-painted painting?
I see several constantly because I own them!
3. Is there a book you’ve seen made into a film and been disappointed with the result?
No. In fact, I was very impressed when I saw Where'd You Go, Bernadette? because when I read the book, I figured it'd be hard to put her creative works on the big screen and the setting, too. But they did an excellent job! I don't read a lot so the situation doesn't arise a lot.
4. How old is the oldest book you own?
No clue.
5. It’s the 60th anniversary of the game ‘Twister’ – have you ever played it?
Yup! I can't imagine doing it now. Sounds like a good way to get a cramp in my thigh.
