Sunday Stealing: What's your favourite?

 I have a head cold and I'm not happy about this. I hate colds, though I'm not travelling for another weeks, so this should all be over by next Sunday. Still, I'm already sick of the snot and I need to get more tissues tomorrow as I'm running out. The sudafed isn't touching this. 

Ah well. 

Questions, as always come from Bev at Sunday Stealing. 

1. What's your favorite animal? 

My cat Lucifer is my favourite animal. I love most animals, but he is my little mate. 

2. What's your favorite book? 

Do I have to pin it down to one book? Really. 

Take your pick from one of the following: 

• Richard Flanagan's The Narrow Road to the Deep North
• Jeffrey Eugenides Middlesex
• Louis de Bernieres' Captain Corelli's Mandolin
• Sarah Winman's Still Life
• Hanya Yanigahara's A Little Life
• J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series. (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkban is my favourite)
• Ian McEwan's Atonement
• Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet

3. What's your favorite color? 

One of the following: 

• Pillarbox Red
• Jade Green
• Peacock Blue

4. What's your favorite dessert? 

Pretty much anything with vanilla or lemon. So, give me galaktoboureko, or vanilla slice, or any sort of vanilla ice cream, or a lemon meringue pie and I'm happy. 

5. What's your favorite drink? 

Non-Alcoholic - Coffee

Alcoholic - Gin and tonic

6. What's your favorite food? 

Mum's roast lamb. Nothing comes close (though Jonella and Stav made me an awesome dinner of roast lamb last week, though nothing like Mum's it was fantastic). 

7. What's your favorite hobby? 

I have lots of hobbies, from knitting to reading to taking photos. I love them all the same. 

8. What's your favorite movie? 

Again, just one? Pick from one of these: 

• Three Colours: Blue
• Casablanca
• The Breakfast Club
• Lost in Translation
• Pulp Fiction
• Best in Show
• Their Finest
• The Grand Budapest Hotel
• Branagh's Henry V

9. What's your favorite restaurant? 

My favourite restaurant, a little French bistro closed down a few months ago, so I'm looking for a new favourite. In Melbourne, one of my favourites is Cumulus Inc. Then again, for cheap and cheerful, I keep going back to the Vinh Ky for Vietnamese/Chinese food. I love Mejico for Mexican food and Hector's Deli for sandwiches. 

10. What's your favorite sandwich? 

Hector's Deli's Mushie Melt or the Ruebens they do at Cafe D'Lish in Caulfield. 

11. What's your favorite season? 

Autumn - or Fall to the Americans. I love the changing of the colours. 

12. What's your favorite series? 

Favourite series? At the moment I'm loving Bridgerton. It's the perfect mindless escapist television. From days before Six Feet Under, The West Wing, Lucifer and Suits come to mind. 

13. What's your favorite snack? 

Potato chips. Particularly salt and vinegar or cheese and onion chips. Never chicken or barbeque. 

14. What's your favorite sport to watch? 

Do I have to watch sport? If I am watching sport, it's only in snippets and it's either a quarter of Australian Rules Football, a couple of overs of cricket or a few minutes of Rugby Union (not league).

15. What's your favorite thing to have for breakfast? 

Eggs - preferably poached on toast, or Eggs Atlantic - which is Eggs Benedict which swaps out the ham or bacon for smoked salmon.
