LOOKING FOR THE LOVELY AND TALENTED GINGERFOXX !!

A few questions for you, my dear:

What colors do you have in your kitchen? What colors do you enjoy otherwise?
I have not repainted/upgraded the kitchen of my condo since I bought it last summer. There is a blue/grey glass tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, so I guess anything goes really.
What sort of scents do you enjoy? Candles? Bath products? Incense?
I love warm, earthy and spicy scents, like sandlewood, nag champa, cinnamon, vanilla, coconut, chai, cardamom. I don't use candles much due to my cats, but I do burn incense on occasion. As far as bath products, I like nice soaps
Do you enjoy snacks? Sweet? Salty? Savory? Spicy?
I enjoy all kinds of snacks. I am very adventurous in that regard.
Do you enjoy cooking? Trying new recipes and testing new spices? How do you feel about ethnic food?
I love all those things. As stated above, I am very adventurous, and I love new things and variety.
What is your favorite beverage to sip on to stay cool in the summer heat?
Iced tea or lemonade
Have you any fur babies? What kind of treats would they enjoy?
I have 3 cats. I don't really give them treats, but they love toys.
Is there a Mr. G. and if so, does he have a favorite snack or meal?
I have a fiance, who is also an adventurous eater who will try just about anything.
Are there any allergies I should know about? Is there anything you dislike, or something you would love to try?
Any special requests? Don't be shy-we aim to please.
No allergies. I am not a fan of cilantro. As far as I can think of now, anything goes. I am open to further questioning and suggestions.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Ready to start filling your box with lovely treats!

Let's kick it off with Swamp Dweller!

What are your favorite colors? This can include clothing colors and home decor, as well as just in general. I look best in jewel tones (dark hair, hazel/green eyes and olive skin-pale colors look terrible on me) and right now my house is in chaos as I have been working on a more coastal/beachy look since we moved from AZ where everything we had was Southwestern rustic. Getting ready to redo our kitchen, have samples spread out all over.

What are your favorite summer activities, indoor or outdoor? Well, it is summer year 'round here. I love being outdoors and active, kayaking, working out, playing with the fur kids and of course my favorite indoor activity is shopping!

What is your favorite summertime beverage? Iced tea (esp. with a tropical flavor), Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade mixed) and sometimes I am really bad and get sweet tea which puts me on a sugar rush then I crash.

What sort of snacks do you crave lately? Spicy crunchy is awesome!

Are there any vegan goodies you want to try, but can't find, or just haven't bothered to try yet? Vegan marshmallows!

What are your favorite movies/tv shows/books of all time, classic or recent? I enjoy reading autobiographies, am addicted to Bravo TV (shameless, mindless shows but can't help myself) and I love a lot of movies.


What do you like to cook in the Summer? Do you have a go-to meal? I hate cooking in general and try to keep it simple. Our favorite dish is Quinoa & Arugula Salad which I posted in the recipe section a couple months or so ago. The hubs and I both love it!

That's all for now. If you have any allergies/general dislikes, Please be sure to specify. I am mildly allergic to peanuts so don't eat them and have to watch other nuts because if I eat too many will have a reaction. I do like pistachios and almonds and as long as I limit the amount I eat will be fine. I am willing to try almost anything once but might run screaming if you sent peach or kiwi skin, the fuzz freaks me out!

Thanks Summer Exchange Fairy!

None .

Any foods you just plain dislike?
Not a fan of licorice or seaweed-y things. Otherwise it's all good.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry? Only my wedding ring and a amethyst bracelet occasionally

Top 3 sea creatures? Turtle, whale, dolphin ( though I love all creatures)

Do you walk on the spicy or mild side when it comes to food? MIDDLE of the road, I can go either way

Sweet or savory? Crunchy or chewy? SWEET and no preference with the crunchy/chewy

Anything from a far away land you would like but cannot get?This depends on which far away land. Not really....I am happy to be surprised

Scented items, yes or no? If yes, what scents do you prefer? Any you really dislike? I am an essential oil kind of girl. I like the musky types ( sandalwood etc) and the floral types

Any allergies I should make note of? None...thanks for asking

Anything that would make you say why did the summer exchange fairy send me this? Not really...I am excited for the surprise and the fun. Oh and you know this already but I am in Australia and it is NOT summer but will be one day

 

[Wolfie]

Hi there WOLFIE!!!!!

Curious minds want to know.....

What are your snacking preferences ( sweet, salt, savoury...chocolate?) All of the above. If I had to pick a favorite though, chocolate.

Do you have any animal friends living with you?4 dogs, 1 mean cat

Favourite colours?Purple is my favorite.

Favourite scents? I like beach scents and flower scents the most. I like to burn beachy candles in the winter and pretend I'm somewhere else.

Ideal vegan meal?One I don't have to cook! I like most vegan things but if I had to pick a favorite it would be lemongrass tofu from a local Vietnamese restaurant. A closed second is actually homemade, tofu and spinach stuffed pasta shells with marinara.

Do you read and if so what is your favourite genre? I read all kinds of stuff, from true crime to fiction. I never tire of reading about dog behavior and the way dogs think.

Are you a movie watcher? Favourite all time movie? Probably Silence of the Lambs, but don't be scared. I love Anthony Hopkins, think he's a great actor and I love the mind games in that movie. It's not the blood and gore that fascinates me.

Music? What is your favourite music? I am dating myself here, but I love 80s. I also love reggae. My favorite musician would have to be Sir Elton John. I actually can listen to about anything except country or classical.

Do you live in the city or country? City.

Any food allergies? No.

You are stranded on a dessert island what are the three essential items you want to have with you? A dog, chocolate and a TV with cable.

Big thanks and I look forward to connecting

What's your favorite summertime activity?

1. Mainly salty and sour, sweet but not overly sweet. Just a hint of spicy, not majorly spicy. I like nuts and fruits, crunchy stuff.

2. No allergies.

3. I don't like raspberries or raspberry flavoring. I don't like dark chocolate; I consider it too bitter. I don't care for such veggies as Brussels sprouts or lima beans.

4. My cats do love treats and toys!

5. Favorite colors are light blue, light green, light pink and lavender.

6. If you can find vegan chocolate that tastes like milk chocolate, I'd be a happy camper.

7. I prefer tea over coffee. I especially like mint tea.

8. Just being outside in the sun, as long as it's not too hot.
