16. Do you own your own washing machine in your home, or do you use a laundry service/laundry room in the building or a launderette?
We have our own washer and dryer. Two of each, actually! The original set is in the garage and Garrett hated using it, so when we gave the main bathroom upstairs its desperately-needed remodel, we took out the tub and put a washer and dryer in its place. It's great having two sets. I do my laundry in the garage since I spend most of my time downstairs. It's hard to tell in the photo, but we took our next Christmas card photo in front of the new washer and dryer.
17. Chinese New Year begins today, and festivities continue until March 3rd – the year of the Fire Horse. What animal are you born under in Chinese astrology?
I'm a tiger who doesn't believe in astrology.
18. What is your favourite shellfish dish (if you have one)?
Well, my favorite dish of all is banh hoi, especially banh hoi dac biet, which is the restaurant's house special version. Many restaurants include shrimp paste baked onto sticks of sugar cane and that's a fantastic addition. And some also include grilled whole shrimp. And I eat the tails.
However, my favorite shellfish-centric is scallops if they're prepared well. And I love oysters. Too bad the fried oysters I had last night weren't very good.
19. Have you ever worn false eyelashes or had eyelash extensions?
I wouldn't want to anyway, but even if I cared about eyelashes, mine are quite full and long. So much so that those and my eyebrows used to make my glasses filthy within minutes of cleaning them. Getting LASIK was such a relief.
20. Are you a fan of mayonnaise in a sandwich (either egg-based or vegan)?
Absolutely, especially Kewpie, the famous Japanese mayo.
