Gas. I love wood but have never been especially adept, or comfortable, at handling fire.

Brick or flat (asphalt or concrete) driveway?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Neither. For Thanksgiving, turkey. For Christmas, handmade meat ravioli and beef tenderloin. All traditions passed down from my Italian great-grandparents.

Tree topper: Angel or star?

Paradise

Light of a new day; a passing rain shower; beauty of an Australian rainforest.

Star. They put up less fuss about being tied to a tree. 😨

String up the lights yourself or get a pre-lit artificial tree?

String up the lights myself.

Small or big lights to wrap around a Christmas tree?

Over the ear, really, but they aren't that practical when I need mobility so I have both.

Listen to music or podcast while exercising?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Exercise by running outside. Generally, 8 miles in 50-55 minutes through varied terrain.

At home (winter), outdoors (summer). No gym.

(Meagananne didn't give us a new this or that so I'm using Gil's)

Supermarket or farmer's market?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

For quality, Farmers Market but sadly, way too expensive for general shopping.

Home-cooked ham or packet, sliced ham?

Home-Cooked always, ever. Better tasting and healthier.

Home-made ice cream or home-made pies?

Homemade pies.

Fruit pie or meat pie?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Fruit. Strawberry-Rhubarb tops the list.

Beef, Chicken, or Pork for protein?

I can take either but Beef is the more flavourful and we don't eat it much, so maybe that.

Concert or Musical?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Concert, but honestly, not a fan of crowds.

Italian or Chinese food?

Omelette. Generally not fond of eggs, and still very, very not fond of scrambled, but I have developed a taste for omelettes.

Rice or potatoes?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Rice - with gravy, depending on the protein.

Beer or wine?

Wine. Never been fond of beer even if I hit the odd one I like.

Pop or juice?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Orange juice although I try a stay away from juices - loaded with sugars.

Waffles or pan cakes?

Love both. At home, it's bagels. On the road, it's muffins. Blueberry or chocolate chip are heavenly.

Chocolate or Strawberry milkshake?

Chocolate. Strawberry in a shake has never appealed to me.

Take transit or drive?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Transit. Take the Metro Train when going to DC. Besides saving the hassle of parking, saves the aggravation of the bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Europe or Asia for vacation?

Europe.

Explore a city or go skiing?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Skiing for sure. As a matter of fact, hoping to go Milano later this month and ski. But we'll be sure to some of the sights as well. The Milan Cathedral is actually the largest in Europe.

Explore with a tour and guide(s) or self explore on your own?

Never stayed in an Airbnb. That would be a new experience to try, especially for extended stays. But usually only a night or two, so usually a hotel or motel. But Airbnb for the experience.

Cruise ship or liner cruise (cargo ship that carries passengers, you can do the entire route of the ship if you prefer or only one segment)?
