This or That - REVEALED!

1. Stick shift - Driving's so much more fun when you have something to do with your left foot.
2. Books - I'm really indifferent to movies; sitting in one place for two hours seems like such a waste of time and I love losing myself in a book.
3. Broccoli - I'll eat squash, if I have to, but I'd much rather eat a cruciferous vegetable.
4. Butter - like it's a question?
5. Cast iron - neither of them can go in the dishwasher, but cast iron is cheap and lasts forever and is enormously versatile.
6. Cats - dogs smell when they get wet, and they jump on you and stick their noses in your crotch, and they have to be walked.
7. Eau D'hadrien - hello, citrus!
8. Cheez Doodles - preferably in a blue bowl.
9. Lemon - I will always choose the fruit dessert over the chocolate one, and lemon trumps 'em all.
10. Danny Meyer - I haven't read the Twilight books but I've eaten in Danny Meyer's restaurants and my favorite recipe for Brussels sprouts is from the Union Square Cafe cookbook.
11. Elvis Costello, a/k/a Declan Patrick Aloysius Macmanus - again, was it really a question?
12. Spring - it's so full of hope.
13. Salt water - I grew up swimming in the ocean, and in a salt water pool, and to this day I think fresh water is weird.
14. Gin - why drink something with no taste?
15. Miracles of modern technology - a) I'm an atheist, b) IVF brought me my daughter
16. Shell steak - grilled over charcoal, with a tomato salad and corn on the cob. Lobster does nothing for me.
17. Mets - National League. End of story.
18. The Four Temperaments - just a perfect ballet to a fabulous piece of music.
