Two Choices #4

It's that "time of year." These days, holiday movies are so easy to watch. Back in the day, we used to have to scan the TV Guide to see when our favorites were going to air and schedule the time to be there when it did. So my question for you this week is:

Rudolph or Frosty?

Two Choices #3

We recently pigged out at our favorite sushi restaurant, Love Sushi. I ate so much, my stomach hurt. I don't eat the raw stuff, but they have a shrimp tempura roll that's delish!

However, I am Chinese and love Chinese food. Our favorite local place for Chinese is the Mandarin Wong. They have fantastic chow fun. Their walnut shrimp isn't too bad either.

So what's your choice? Chinese or Japanese?

Flan or Creme brulee?

Last night my son and I made flan for the first time. He's taking Spanish this year in high school and the assignment was to create a menu, all in Spanish, cook one of the dishes, and bring it in to share with the class. We discovered that both flan (creme caramel) and creme brulee are from France. The only real difference is that in flan, the sugar top is gooey and on creme brulee, it's crunchy.

So which do you prefer? I like creme brulee better. I the burnt sugar flavor is more intense.

Two Choices #1




Gone with the Wind or Sound of Music?

Tough choice for me. GWTW has the great costumes and Clark Gable. I was in love with Mr. Gable in my teen years. I read many biographies and thrilled that I lived only a mile away from where he used to live in the San Fernando Valley. But I didn't like the way the movie (or the book) ended. No one was happy. What a downer.

On the other hand, Sound of Music has that wonderful music. I so wanted to be Liesl when I was younger. She was beautiful, could sing, and lived on a beautiful estate. Too bad she had crappy taste in men.

Untimately, I have to choose The Sound of Music. What's your choice?
