Love it Mandy, will do it over the weekend. (We also have early weekday dinners.)
Yay, so pleased you are going to be doing it. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Oh this definitely sounds like fun. I’ve answered most of these questions already but I think I have a way I can twist it on Saturday. Great post.
That’s great Kay, I look forward to what you put together. Have a happy weekend. ๐
thanks for this – my post will go up on Sunday ๐ I also love crab, but we don’t get it here! Have a great weekend
Yay, so pleased you will also be doing this – I look forward to seeing your answers. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Good to know more about you – but how to pick just ONE favourite food ๐ฆ Had to smile – dinner here in Spain is about 10.30pm. Took me a while to get used to it!
Maybe you could pick one group of food ๐ I remember you mentioning about the late eating – guess we would get used to it if we had to. When we were invited out on the island by the French, we used to have a snack before going because they also eat extremely late – when you go for dinner you arrive at 20h30 for 21h00 and then the first course would usually be served around 10pm and dessert just before midnight. Pete and I are ready for bed before the first course. hee hee. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Hi Mandy – how fun! I’m still on vacation so I’m checking this via iPhone and I can’t join this fun event, but I loved reading more about you!!
Hi Nami, I appreciate you taking the time out while you are away to leave a comment, thank you. I am looking forward to hearing about your fun time with your Mom. Have a happy weekend. ๐
How fun, definitely with you on No. 7 and no tripe here either.
Savoury will always win over sweet. Glad you enjoyed the read. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Hi Mandy, I’m also travelling at the moment but will do my best to join in over the weekend.Have a great one! x
Hi Yvette, enjoy the rest of your travels – look forward to hearing all about it as well as reading your answers too. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Mandy,
Loved getting to know you better.
The herbs are my fave, too ๐ xxxxxxx
Thanks Kim – I should posts like this more often – need to think up a few more questions first. ๐ Have a happy weekend. ๐ xo
Mandy, this is so great. I will do it on Sunday night because we are going to the beach this weekend ๐ Have a beautiful weekend!
So glad you going to do it Tes, it is great fun. I am looking forward to seeing your answers. Have a happy weekend. ๐
Fun idea. Sorry to hear that you are swearing off of rhubarb though. Strawberry with rhubarb is one of my favorite combos on the planet.
Hmm, I wonder if adding strawberries into the mix might make me change my mind? Do you make it into a pie? Have a happy weekend. ๐
It’s funny before Miss A was born I would have said savoury all the way. Since she was born…I have a sweet tooth like I never had before. ๐
That’s incredible Kristy – tell you what, going forward, I will enjoy savoury for you. ๐
Hey Mandy; hope things have settled in well at home. Have missed seeing you around! ๐ This is a fun idea and I enjoyed getting to know more about you.
Hi MamaSteph, nice of you to stop by and thanks for your concern – things are mostly in place and back up and running now – just waiting on a new oven that is on order. Glad you enjoyed the read. It’s always fun doing these kinds of posts. Have a happy day. ๐
Great to know more about you through those fun questions.
Have a great weekend!
Angie
Thanks Angie – glad you enjoyed the read – think I should do another one of these soon. Have a happy day. ๐

You love crabs! I love them as well but for me any seafood is nearly on the top of my list.
I must admit Raymund all seafood is also top of my list. Have a happy Sunday. ๐
I love it, Mandy! I absolutely want to do it! Don’t you really like rhubarb?!?! I love it. I’ve just published a rhubarb post, but I’m afraid you won’t appreciate it… ๐
Hi Rita, I am thrilled that you are going to do it, thank you! Hmm, the rhubarb thing is a mystery as everybody in my family loves it as does Pete. Maybe I will brave up and give it another try when it’s in store again. Have a happy day. ๐
