Sunday Stealing: 2x4

 I'm doing the Sunday Stealing Questions early this week, not that I have much on, but there is a lot to do.

Question, as always, have been provided by Sunday Stealing


TWO foods you can't stand

1. Bananas

2. Party pies. Party pies are a big thing here - and I steadfastly don't eat them. I'll have a pie if it's on the menu at a pub or restaurant, or maybe from and artisanal bakery, but I don't eat footy pies. Ever. Full of horse. 

FOUR foods you love

1. Ice cream

2. Fish and Chips

3. Pasties from South Australian bakeries

4. Marks and Spencers Prawn Cocktail sandwiches. Can't wait to have them when I get to England in a few weeks. 

TWO places you never want to see again 

1. The inside of a certain supermarket chain's head office. I've vowed I'd never work for them again - there are lots of other places to work. 

2. Kuta in Bali. I know you have to go through it to get to other places in Bali 

FOUR places you'd like to revisit

1. All of Spain, and more of Spain. 

2. All of Italy and more of Italy. 

3. Scotland - but I need a few months to see everything I want to see. 

4. New York, but again, with a lot of time and money so I can do it properly. 

TWO musical artists who make you want to change the station 

1. Meatloaf

2.  Adele

I've had both overplayed to me and I don't need to hear them again. 

FOUR musical artists you love to listen to

1. David Byrne and Talking Heads

2. The Pixies

3. Simon and Garfunkel - love them.

4.  Mumford and Sons - just for something different. 

TWO moments you'd like to erase

1. Scott Morrison winning that unwinnable election in 2019. We'd had enough of the Liberal party by that stage. 

2. The overturning of Roe vs Wade in the USA. Such a retrograde act. 

FOUR moments you'd like to relive

1.  I'd love to see for the first time our room in Sommieres in the South of France.

2. Wandering around Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey, preferably alone. I love that place.

3. An individual sound healing session with Shervin Boolorian - the man is an earthbound angel. 

4. It would be nice to fall in love again. That is a nice, but scary feeling.

Here in Chicago we don't have Marks & Spencer. I've heard that their baked goods are to die for.

Fish and Chips.. now you've made me crave them!

Hi Pand,

Bananas - I love them but bizarrely I hate anything that is banana flavoured. Fish and Chips - wonderful!

I love Spain and I need to go back. Next year hopefully to somewhere new.

I'm with you on Adele but Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell is an iconic album for me.

:o)

Cheers

PM

I don't care for bananas, either. I keep thinking I should try one again because they're so good for you.

I didn't think of Mumford and Sons - good one! My sister doesn't like bananas either. I love them but I want them fully yellow - no brown. We do slice and freeze the brown ones and make "ice cream" in the food processor with them. Are you talking about dessert pies or meat pies? I'm assuming meat pies?? We have Chicken pot pie here in Alabama and we sometimes make shepherd's pie (not really a pie). We also have all sorts of fruit and sweet pies - apple, cherry, lemon ice box, key lime, chocolate peanut butter.
