1. When is the last time you went out to a meal with someone special? Tell us about it.  I went out a few times last weekend with our son and daughter-in-law, and one of the nights we went with blogging friend, Sparky and her hubby! We all had a yummy meal at a steak and seafood restaurant.

2. Show us a picture of your favorite cuisine.  It all depends on what sounds good at the time!! I love Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese, Chinese, Cuban, and good old American diner comfort foods.  How can I  pick just one?  Here's a picture...

3. What is the funniest thing a man/woman has said to you lately?  I don't know that anyone has said anything really funny lately.  Joe could always make me laugh, though!  

4. What makes a gentleman a gentleman in today’s dating world? Are there any left?  I haven't been in the dating world since 1983.  I can't imagine that being a gentleman has changed that much. Holding the door for you, being respectful... I sure would hope there are gentlemen left in this world.

5. Is there anything you won’t tolerate when out to dinner with your significant other?  That is not something I was ever concerned about with Joe. He had excellent manners at the table.

6. What type of ambiance do you enjoy in an eating establishment?  Casual. 

7. Tell us about the worst public dining experience you ever had, whether it be a date or with your family.  Joe and I were having lunch in a Mexican restaurant with my former boss and his wife.  My boss picked up his soup bowl and slurped from it. He wasn't just trying to be funny.  He also "allowed" us to pay for their meals (after inviting us out and choosing the restaurant). We just laughed about it afterwards.

8. What is the lamest or rudest thing a man/woman has said to you lately?  I can't think of a thing.

9. Are you a good tipper?  Yes. I always tip 20-25% and sometimes more if the server was really good.

10. Do you ask for doggie bags when you leave food on your plate at a restaurant? Sometimes but it depends on whether it is something that will be good warmed over.

11. What is your pet peeve about restaurants and dining out in general?  I will not wait longer than 20 minutes for a table.  I haven't found a restaurant yet that is worth waiting longer than that.  It's that problem I have with patience. 

12. Do you prefer to order yourself or do you ever let your significant other order for you?  I usually order for myself but there have been times when Joe ordered for me after discussing what I preferred.

13. Describe your most intimate romantic dinner ever. (fantasy or real).  I wrote about that a few days ago... the white truffle pasta in Orvieto, Italy, with Joe.

14. Do you enjoy piano bars?  Many, many years ago I was dating a man who loved to sing and we did go to a piano bar a couple of times a month where singing was encouraged.  There was a core group there and we were even invited to a party at the home of one of the people where there was more singing.  It was fun. I do not sing but enjoyed the fun.

15. If you could go anywhere in the world for dinner, where would it be and who would you be with?  Back to Orvieto with Joe.  Yes, indeed.

Peace & hugs!  Jesus loves us!
