supernutjapan1. What's a food you liked when you were younger but don't anymore?
White bread. I used to eat a lot of bread, but ever since my diet, my urge has gone. I am perfectly happy with a lettuce wrap or cauliflower crust.
2. What's a food you used to not like but now you do?
I used to not like to mix my food when I was younger but I don't mind it at all now. I can't really think of anything else.
3. What's a food you enjoy eating both warm and cold?
Thick soup and green curry.
4. Are there any foods you can't get anymore? Why not?
Mcvities Digestive biscuits. The company that used to sell them here stopped. A different (smaller) company is selling them now, but they are not available anywhere. I used to use them for our barbecue s'mores because graham crackers are even harder to come by, and am super bummed.
5. What's your favorite "breakfast for dinner" (or "dinner for breakfast") food?
Scrambled eggs and sunny-side-up eggs with sausage. I like sweet food for breakfast so I hardly ever eat eggs at breakfast, but I sometimes eat them for dinner. I never eat dinner for breakfast.
----------
The next questions were from December so I changed the tense.
1. What was the best thing that happened to you last year
I was able to read lots of books - 68 total.
I ate my favorite foods. This may be the most important. I pretty much lived for my snacks LOL
I enjoyed my classes.
Alex got his job.
I can't remember anything particularly special happening but it was peaceful mostly.
2. What are you looking forward to this year?
Doing the same as above. Also, Audrey will be entering High School, which will be exciting. I bought a drawing book to learn how to draw cute drawings and possibly draw my own illustrations for my books since I cannot get anyone to do it for me. We will see how that goes.
3. Did you do anything special to ring in the New Year?
The usual - we ate soba noodles on New Years Eve as is custom in Japan. That's about it. We were all tired from being sick and went to bed early. On New Years Day, we ate Osechi, the Japanese New Years food.
4. What would you like to see more of next year?
I'm ok. I'm a little worried about how much of a recluse I am becoming. Seriously, I have a hard time caring about anything outside of the house and it is a bit worrying - just want to stay home when I can, other than taking Hana for walks. I have become super lazy. I should find some ways to go out and meet people. Having to work from Monday to Saturday, then having choir on Sunday really doesn't help. I really want to quit after the April concert.
5. What was your best New Year’s Eve ever?
The best New Years Eve was when I watched Guardians of the Galaxy with my kids like 4 or 5 years ago. I was super into LJ too, and posting constantly about everything. It was super fun having all the wonderful friends there. It's really sad not having any of that excitement and fervor and just, energy in general now *facepalm*.
