What's your favorite thing about springtime?
Temps are finally coming up more often, birds singing (we have some making a lot of noise while building their nest in our tree), and flowers... whenever they come, haven't seen any of those yet.
What's your favorite ingredient to cook with?
Considering my favorite things to cook are dessert... cocoa powder and sugar are my favorite ingredients.
My husband is more of the meal chef. His favorite ingredient... garlic, fresh garlic.
Today is the first day of the Season of Lent. Are you giving anything up for the next 40 days?
Well, I'm giving Jeremy up for the next 7 days. He's flying out to the main Google offices in Mountain View, CA today and returning next Thursday. I'm going to miss him. :-(
As for lent, I've never participated in this part of it. Maybe some other year. I keep saying that I'll give up my chocolate or Dr Pepper during this time some year, but so far I haven't gone through with it.
Whom have you lost touch with that you wish were still in your life?
Oh, there are a few. They are all mostly from TN, from my freshman and sophomore years of high school, but also some from my freshman year in college.
Honking, tailgating, excessive lane changing... There are so many things that can drive you crazy when you're behind the wheel. So tell us: what's your driving pet peeve?
Parents driving with their small children not strapped in carseats.

Learning to play the violin. I hope to someday be able to finally do this.
What's the most complicated part of your life right now?
ME!
What does Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy mean to you? How do you celebrate his legacy in your own life?
I had the kids do an oral report on part of MLK Jr's life today. That was the only school they really had to do. They had to do the research and then talk about what they learned.
We "celebrate his legacy" in our church every week. It is a multi-cultural church. It is primarily African American, but Pastor Bill is white, his wife is Korean, we have some Hispanics and Latinos. They don't mind the kids singing, "Red, and yellow, black, and white, we are precious in His sight." because we have some of every one in our church. We all get along so well too. We have a food ministry, the Produce Mobile, every first Monday of the month and people of many different races come and congregate and talk together, some being served and some serving. I love my church. We are all free to join together and I think MLK Jr would be happy with this Chicago-land church.
In honor of Benjamin Franklin's birthday, tell us: When was the last time you flew a kite?
A year ago last fall... so Fall 2007. Jeremy's parents had helped take care of some of the kids while we looked for a house and had bought a kite for them. When we went down there to bring them all up to the house we found to rent, they got out the kite and we flew it... or at least tried to. I think it got up about twice for about 5 or 6 minutes, maybe once for about 10 minutes. I think something was slightly messed up on it. We had fun though and that is what matters.
What's the best thing between two slices of bread?
Submitted by Eric.
Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or leftover ham from Christmas... of course, that only works the few days after those holidays. The rest of the time, I put up with inferior sliced meats.
