My third meme - and a note on my week...

I haven't cooked for a whole week. Apart from breakfast, and ramen noodles - and I don't think that counts... I've missed two deadline for events I wanted to participate in - and am even going to struggle to make a dish for Presto Pasta Night (although I am determined to get into the kitchen tonight...)

This hasn't been an easy week for me - Boyfriend and I have split up - it's such a horrible time... I think that is all I can say about that.

I wanted a blog entry - but had no dishes to discuss, so I decided to take this chance to do the meme I was tagged for last week by Val from More Than Burnt Toast. I only recently came across Val's blog (isn't it amazing the variety of blogs you can find, just by clicking through from one to the next!) and I'm very glad I did. She has an amazing variety of recipes - from pasta to moussaka, falafel to pikelets! And she loves cookery course - just like me!

What were you doing 10 years ago?1998?

I was in my 2nd year at university in Glasgow, studying English Literature and Social And Economic History I was looking after my then boyfriend, who was pretty sick. I was also preparing for the World Cup - it was the last time Scotland qualified. I don't even like football that much - but the atmosphere was amazing. We didn't survive the first round though...

What were you doing 1 year ago?

I was in the middle of negotiating to a new position with my company (which I am now in!) Still living in the same place. From looking back at my calendar, it looks like I was going to lots of parties too!

Five snacks you enjoy

Argh, this is a tough one - I love savoury snacks!!! I'm not a huge fan of chocolate - I like it well enough, but a whole bar is often too much for me...

1. salty, buttery popcorn... drool....
2. I don't know if these count as snacks, but I love sushi, tapas, Indian snacks (like these pakora), dolmades and other such finger food!
   
3. Dried mango slices
4. triscuits - though I can't get them in the UK... :( (and any other crunchy, salty snack - i.e. pretzels, baked bagel bites...)
5. Swizzels double lollies (apparently my mum used to be addicted to these when she was pregnant with me!)

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire

Oh, I love this game! (Though a multi-millionaire I hope!)

1. Quit my job and pay off my mortgage! (And/Or buy a house with a huge kitchen and garden!)
   
2. Help the people I love: pay off the mortgages of my parents and sister - and take us a on huge family holiday; sort my best friends out to make they're lives more comfortable - or to help them achieve their dreams.
3. Travel the world - trying all the food I could manage, attending any classes I came across, and learning lots of new things!
4. Throw a huge, lavish party for all my friends :)
5. Retrain in a career that I truly want to do (Almost definitely in the food industry)
   

Five bad habits

1. Blogging when I should be doing other things - or spending too much of the day deciding what I'm going to cook that night!
2. I'm rubbish at keeping in touch with old friends - I'm seem to get caught up in the moment - and all of a sudden weeks have gone by without contact :(
3. Messiness - my whole house is a state - it drives me mad, because I actually hate living like that... but can't seem to keep myself organised.
4. Pressing the snooze button on my alarm clock! I end up snoozing for 45 minutes - and it isn't even proper sleep!!
5. Putting off things that I don't want to do (i.e. getting up - or tidying the house!)
   

Five things you like doing

Cooking! Blogging about Cooking! Reading about cooking! You get the idea?
Ok then - other things ;)

1. Seeing my girlfriends - drinking wine, and having silly conversations. And they are always there when I need them :)
2. Shopping - especially for shoes!
3. Clubbing
4. Relaxing in my house with some rubbish on the TV, surfing the net, or reading!
5. Eating!
   

Five things you would never wear again

I would usually never say never.. but I would definitely never wear an Eightiesque shell suit again!

Five favorite toys

1. My mobile phone - it has a cute camera for taking silly pics when I don't want to use my 'proper' camera!
2. My camera
3. My pasta machine - I haven't used it that much - but I find pasta making is such a relaxing thing to do :)
4. My laptop
5. My GHD straighteners!
