serene25 If you could receive a $1000 gift card from any store, which would you choose?
Zion market (pan-Asian, chiefly Korean, grocery store nearish me)
26 It’s Thank You Note Day/Boxing Day. Do you write hand-written thank-you notes or do you thank people for gifts in some other way?
I don't receive a lot of gifts (because people who know me know I don't require them), but I do love and appreciate receiving gifts, and aim to send handwritten thank-yous for them when I get them.
27 No matter what holidays you do (or do not) celebrate, do you have a good recipe for leftovers? Post it!
I have a couple:
The day after every "roast holiday" we have hash, but it's not a strict recipe. I dice onions and potatoes in a tiny dice, then fry them up with tiny dices of whatever meat was roasted, butter, salt, pepper. Cook on medium low stirring infrequently until it's crisp and mostly cohesive. I like mine with a fried egg and usually a bit of sriracha. James likes his with ketchup.
Leftover rice always gets turned into fried rice for breakfast, preferably kimchi fried rice, but if there's no kimchi (or no bacon), then just garlic fried rice. Again, I like this with a fried-in-sesame-oil egg and a squirt of sriracha.
28 Do you usually make a special effort to thank someone who does you a favor? How do you react when you aren't thanked for going out of your way for someone?
I might make a little too big of a deal out of thanking people when they are nice to me, because it is very hard for me to accept that without making a big deal of it. I don't worry too much about being thanked myself, but sometimes I do notice and wonder if I should say something; I rarely do. My mom always said "give without remembering and receive without forgetting" and I have some of that ingrained in me, modulo my terrible long-term memory.
29 Would you rather your life have a rewind button or a pause button?
Rewind.
30 If you could change one bad habit you have, what would it be?
Oh, geeze, only one? Hmm. Let's say I would be better at keeping in touch with people I care about.
1) How do you feel about snow?
2 If you were a toy, what would you be?
3 What’s your current weather situation, and how is it affecting your day?
4 What was the last live performance or concert you attended?
5 What is the most offensive thing a person could say to you?
6 Do you take compliments or praise well?
7 Who was your first teeny-bopper celebrity crush? Did you have posters on your wall? Did you ever see them in concert or meet them in person? (Pictures, please! Gotta have that pin-up poster on the wall.)
8 What is your morning routine like?
9 What is your evening routine like?
10 Of the four personality temperaments based on the ancient Greek humors—sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, and melancholic, which one best describes you?
11 If you could live in any TV show, which one would you choose?
12 What’s your favorite holiday cookie? (Post the recipe?)
13 What is something you’ve done that no one would expect of you?
14 If 2021 could see you moving to another city, where would you go?
15 What’s the best thing to do on a snowy day?
16 Are there any foods you are allergic to?
17 What was the biggest change in your life in 2020?
18 What is your favorite local restaurant where you live? What type of food, atmosphere, and prices does this place have?
19 Have you ever been told you look like someone famous?
20 What TV game show would you be really good at?
21 At the solstice, as the light begins to return, what would you like to see increase in your life over the next few months?
22 Are you a “peeker” about gifts, or do you prefer to be surprised?
23 Do you think you will be making any New Year’s resolutions in January?
24 Do you prefer to receive money/gift cards or an actual gift?
25 If you could receive a $1000 gift card from any store, which would you choose?
26 It’s Thank You Note Day/Boxing Day. Do you write hand-written thank-you notes or do you thank people for gifts in some other way?

Date: 2020-12-31 05:47 am (UTC)26. I sent my son a text to thank him for the package that arrived. He and I talk often. I emailed my step-dad to thank him for what he sent. And I plan to mail holiday cards to people who mailed them to me. About a dozen this year. That's it.
27. My little family has very individualized eating habits. I'm the only one who eats leftovers, and am content to eat them 'as is'.
28. I make sure that I acknowledge and express appreciation, but the degree of enthusiasm/intensity? it depends on the relationship
29. Rewind. I think. Maybe.
30. Spending so much time playing solitaire on a screen. I'd like to do more coloring, book reading, etc.
