From EllJay's Writer's Block:

What was your favorite childhood meal? Do you still love it? Does it taste as good as you remember it?

My standard favorite childhood meal would have been a basic hotdog with ketchup and relish, and frankly, no, hotdogs do not appeal to me anymore.

There were other meals I loved as well, but they tended to be specific: The barbecued chicken my father made and the meatloaf my mother made, and side dishes like the sweet pickles my grandmother made--but all those foods are lost to the world now and there is no way of knowing if they would still taste as good in reality as they do in my memory.

Which is your favorite Jimi Hendrix song, and why?

"Voodoo Child," but only when performed by Angelique Kidjo.

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? If so, how does your celebration vary from traditional holiday rituals?

This year, I seem to be celebrating a few days late. Tonight, I am thankful that the store had two pieces of pumpkin pie for a reasonable price. Mmmm... pumpkin.

My grandmother's spaghetti with meat sauce (homemade, and often including deer meat that my grandfather hunted)! And her biscuits, and her fried potatoes.

That reminds me that there are some recipes people were proud of that I was indifferent to, like my mother's spaghetti with meat sauce. I was glad when she made it, mind you, but mostly because it gave me a good excuse to use lots & lots of parmesan cheese.
