    Of course I like wine! But I can't have any for another several months. :( Pinot noir is generally my go-to red. Cab sauv is a close second. Sauv blanc is my go-to white, or pinot grigio. Whatever, just give me all the wine.

    2. Name something you love about your fiancee/significant other/husband/wife.

    1. Do you like wine? If yes, then what is your favorite?
    yuuup. Pinot Grigio in the early evening and red wine (not picky) later on. I'm also a true believer in white meat = white wine and red meat = red wine regarding going out to eat.

    bison burger when I went to Yellowstone. I saw the bisons all day long and thought they were so cute, so I felt pretty bad and weird eating their meat later on. But the burger was really, really awesome. (PS -- OP your story is crazy!)

    5. What did you do for Memorial Day weekend?
    Housewarming BBQ for some friends where they also announced they're expecting their first baby, yay! Beach all day Sunday and grad party on Monday. Excellent long weekend with a lot of friends, sun, and drinks.

    Yeah, I totally want to eat something smelling of sulphur and ammonia. Or not. 

    Actually, if I could amend my post, I also ate durian fruit. Another bizarre food that Andrew Zimmern is not a fan of. Smells like gasoline. I had it in a bubble tea. The waiter took our order and said, "....You're sure?"
