FIVE QUESTIONS
FIVE QUESTIONS from 
princess_design:
1. Jacques Pepin is coming to the restaurant on your day off (and ONLY that day)...and you have tickets @ the Borgata...for Depeche Mode...front row...and backstage passes. What do you do?
Well, this is a difficult choice, but I would have to say I'd be going to see Depeche Mode at The Borgata. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Pepin several times while I was at the FCI. And although he is a lovely man I would love to serve dessert to, a Depeche Mode show is hours of dance party fun. Plus you throw in those backstage passes and the slot machines at the Borgata and it's an alllll night afair. Yep, I'm gonna have to chose Depeche Mode! May I forever burn in culinary hell.
2. Besides pastry, what is your favorite thing to make (food or otherwise)?
I'm pretty crafty. I got the gift from my Moms. I haven't made anything in a while though. The last thing I made was a greeting card for Vin. I'm trying to become a fabulous iced tea brewer, as I've written about here on LJ. My last batch wasn't so hot. I think I put too much Mango green tea into it. Or maybe that particular green tea isn't good iced? I also love to garden, so I like making flowers and vegetables grow.
3. What is your favorite Long Island restaurant? (Yes, I am doing research!)
There's an Italian restaurant in Valley Stream called Napoli Antica that we like a lot. It's not really anything special. We like the bread. They give everyone a slice of toasted bread (I can't think of what kind at the moment) with a tomato salad on it. Nice touch. And the meals are always very tasty, not too pricey. For sushi it's OSAKA in Lynbrook. Again, nothing fancy. But we go there a lot, know the owners, get hooked up with free Kani salad each time and sushi is always fresh and the rice is always perfectly cooked in rice vinegar. We haven't been to any fancier places on LI, really. Most of them are on the North Shore, too far for us to drive to. It's actually closer for us to drive into the city so that's what we do.
4. You're forever being shipped off to a deserted island with V and Chica (and a cellie to call sis and dad...and me!), you are allowed to pack 1 cd, 1 book, 1 dvd and 1 frivoulous item. What would you pack?
The CD would be a mixed MP3 cd of all different songs. The book would be a book on how to survive on a dessert island. The DVD would be Goodfellas and the frivoulous item would be Pollo, my bird.
5. What do you think is your best, physical feature? (Yeah, lame - answer it!LOL!)
This IS lame! HAHA! I got ok legs from my Mom so I guess I'll go with that.
