1. I don't eat fish, because I don't like it. It would probably be easier to say that I'm allergic, but I'm not. I will, however, eat mussels.
2. I'd rather be outside in the fresh air than inside in the air-conditioning.
3. I much prefer wine to beer.
4. I like to bake, so I'll bring dessert.
No tags, you're it if you want to be.
I've got another book to give away: an old hardcover copy of P.G. Wodehouse's Spring Fever. Tell me in the comments; if more than one person wants it, I'll do a random giveaway.
Also, if you need more books and have too many, try Paperback Swap - you set up an account, list the books that you want to get rid of, mail them off when people request them, and ask for other's books that you're interested in. You pay the postage to ship yours out, but you pay nothing to receive a book. It's clever. Click the logo to join.
And, because I know you were wondering, the dog days of summer are over. The dog days are the weeks when Sirius (the dog star) rises in tandem with the sun. The ancients figured the two stars rising together caused the heat and torpor, hence the name.
one and three, me too. except the mussels.
ReplyDeletemmmmmm dessert
ReplyDeleteI would love to have it. I have long been a fan of his writing.
ReplyDeleteI will eat fish, but if the food item is missing a skeleton of has an exoskeleton I will not eat it.
No fish, really? I love fish, most of the time, unless it tastes like fish of course!
ReplyDelete1 and 3 for me, too. But I will eat shrimp, especially if battered in coconut.
ReplyDeleteActually allergic to some sorts of fish, but hate the others, so I blanketly tell you that I'm allergic. Period.
ReplyDeleteWow, we are different.
ReplyDeleteLike fish; prefer indoors; prefer beer over wine unless wine really complements a dish (such as fillet mignon or foie gras).
But I like to bake too so we can both make desserts, there are going to be enough people for two desserts anyway. There always are. :)
My husband would love the Wodehouse!
ReplyDeleteI'm a vegetarian.
I don't want to be there all night.
Ok, then...I'll supply the wine, if you bring dessert!
ReplyDeleteThink we can get Jeeves to serve?
I was hoping we hadn't hit the dog days yet...because, dude - what a disappointment this summer has been.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong - gorgeous! but still... not hot enough.
I think wine and dessert is sufficient. Entrees are overrated.
ReplyDeleteWodehouse rocks. I don't need the book, thank you, but it's a good fun one.
I'd rather bring the dessert, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm a HUGE Wodehouse fan! I don't think I've read that one and I'd love to.
ReplyDeleteI'm a vegetarian but have been known to eat seafood in the past though the only things I really like are shrimp and scallops. I don't particuarly trust the seafood industry so if you came to dinner you would not find any fish on the table. Dessert would be lovely, thank you. I also prefer the outdoors to a/c (I'm always cold) unless it's super hot. I prefer beer to wine because wine often triggers an allergic reaction. I like it, I just can't drink much of it. Also, I'll pass on the Wodehouse, you've already been too kind. Received the LBJ book yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteThis explains why it is RAINING here. In August. Feels very unfair.
ReplyDeleteI love my wine, and I love my seafood! And I love to read but have a hard time making the time. I'll definitely be trying the paperback swap - thanks!
