1. Who is your Food Network hero?
I love Bobby Flay. I think I'd like his food most.

2. What is your favorite food to make, not eat, make?
I love to make desserts, like cakes, because it's fun to decorate and I love to lick the bowl!

3. What is your favorite food to eat?
I love burritos. You can put anything in a burrito and it's so good!

4. What food disgusts you?
Licorice. I cannot stand the smell or taste.

5. Do you choose foods based on color?
Sometimes. More color is usually healthier and more fun.

6. Do you prefer crunchy or smooth?
Crunchy

7. Crunchy or chewy?
Chewy

8. Do you like a lot of spice? Sour/tangy foods?
I can handle a little spice, but am not a fan of sour.

9. Who is the chef in your household?
Most definitely me. FI can do basic stuff, but that's about it and he doesn't enjoy it.

10. Would you rather have an expert US chef cook for you or travel to a foreign country and eat at a local diner?
Travel to a local diner somewhere in Italy. I think I'd enjoy a local dish there.

Bonus question: What's your secret ingredient that you add to everything?
Onions. I love them and they are good in everything. It used to be ranch though. That's also delicious on everything.

YAY FOOD!!!! Now you're talking my language here...

1. Who is your Food Network hero?
Alton Brown, the culinary nerd.

2. What is your favorite food to make, not eat, make?
I love to make vodka sauce because it's so easy.

3. What is your favorite food to eat?
Awww maaaan....too many favorites. Cesar salad, fish & chips, a good steak with a baked potato, lasagna. I'm not a size 16 for nothing.

4. What food disgusts you?
Mushrooms. Yuck.

5. Do you choose foods based on color?
Yeah, if the color's not right, I can't go near it.

6. Do you prefer crunchy or smooth?
Crunchy, especially if we're talking peanut butter!

7. Crunchy or chewy?
Crunchy.

8. Do you like a lot of spice? Sour/tangy foods?
Yes, yes and yes. I really love a good citrus pucker in my foods!

9. Who is the chef in your household?
That would be moi.

10. Would you rather have an expert US chef cook for you or travel to a foreign country and eat at a local diner?
Travel and eat at a local diner. In high school, I went on a trip to England. I would laugh whenever someone in my tour group would go to Burger King, Subway or Starbuck's. I would always try to find the little hole-in-the-wall places and I had some of the best food!

Bonus question: What's your secret ingredient that you add to everything?

Garlic. If something's missing, it's usually garlic.

elannis · February 2012

Yeah, Bobby Flay makes my kind of food most of the time. Paula is heavy on the butter, Giada is heavy on carbs and fancy food, Ina has expensive stuff, and I just can't stand Rachel Ray, lol. I forget the other ones right now.

I love Alton too! He is awesome!

1. Alton Brown! Alton Alton Alton! I would leave Nick for him.

2. I love baking. I don't hate the eating of baked goods, either.

3. Cupcakes!

4. Bananas. Green beans. Mushrooms.

5. Nope.

6. Depends. Both have their merits.

9. I am!

10. Travel.

Bonus: I put garlic in pretty much everything except desserts.

elannis · February 2012

Yaga: My mom can't stand Giada, lol. I think it has something to do with the fact that she makes all this cheesy, carby food and is like pencil thin though, lol.

I also do not like Ina because she does this weird sucking up spit thing all the time, lol.

RDR: I would never have thought to add the food that you marked as disgusting. I've never tried them or been offered, lol. I think I might agree with you though.

bsidebella · February 2012

I'm lovin' the love for Alton Brown and garlic

My favorite thing to do with garlic is take like a tablespoon or two of that jarred minced garlic and heat it on low in a skillet, then put baby spinach on top, cook until wilted and then squeeze lemon juice on it. MMMMMmmmm-mmm!!!!

jemmini6 · February 2012

I loathe Giada. Her head is too big for her body and I HATE how she over-annunciates Italian words. It sounds so fake and ridiculous when she is talking normal the entire time and then...'OMG, and Italian word, I have to overexaggerate rolling my Rs'. Ugh...can't stand her.

<div>I'll try anything once. We tried escargot when we took a cruise last year. It was on the menu & we were allowed to order as many apps as we wanted so we figured we'd give it a try. </div><div>
</div><div>As for the marrow... I was at one of my favorite restaurants in NYC with FI & 2 of my friends. The chef is British (April Bloomfield) & I don't know if that has to do with it but something that someone ordered had marrow on top & I agreed to taste it. I might not have hated it quite as much if I hadn't know what it was but It was all I could think about as I was eating it. </div>

<div>Rachael Ray does this too!!! I cannot stand her. I watched "Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook Off" and it pained me to have her on my TV screen. </div>

Omg, yes. This.

She had a few radio commercials for a certain wine. I don't remember what the brand was, but I couldn't stand listening to her saying the names of the wines.

Every time someone mentions Cadbury eggs, I find myself heading to the gas station. I almost got some last night too, but I noticed that it was a cashier that I don't care for so I got out of line and got in another and then couldn't find them, lol. I might have to make a special trip. I love them so much!!

Lol, I hope you ate something after this!
