My Memey Easter

Ciao Bloggisti!!!
I was going to post something amazing tonight – pictures from Easter lunch at the in-laws. It was quite the spread and almost all seafood, from shrimp cocktail, to squid and potato salad, and those were just the antipasti! But silly me, I forgot my camera at their place. And I thought seafood was good for the brain. But if you’re hungry for some delicious pictures and recipes to boot, check out the round-up at Festa Italiana. Very impressive!
Anyhoo, to make up for my forgetfulness, I am going to let you feast your eyes on THIS…
A NEW MEME!!!
Ah, yes people. It’s that time again. Now, stop groaning! Since I’m still new to the blogosphere it’s a good way to get to know me, n’est-ce pas? And my pal at My Melange decided to tag wittle ole me. So, I am more than honoured to share this Q and A with youz.
What I was doing 10 years ago:
I was about to get married, naive little child-bride that I was ; )
Five things on my to-do list today:
-
Finish an important translation for work
-
Sort the mountains of clean laundry in my room
-
Get both kids fed, cleaned and in bed by 10
-
Devise a plan to convince my husband to let me go to the Nick Cave concert in May
-
Post this terribly exciting meme.
Snacks I enjoy:
Chips, cheesies, popcorn, cheese, chocolate, mac&cheese with white yogurt (sounds gross but it’s goooooood!)
Things I would do if I were a Billionaire:
Close Briatore’s Billionaire club in Sardinia
Invest in real estate – a house in Kerala, a villa in Tuscany, a penthouse in Manhattan, an apartment in Paris, a donut shop in Scarborough
Save money for my kids’ education (of course they’re going to McGill, just like Mommy!)
Buy original vinyls of all Beatles albums
Shopping spree for me and my mom!!!!
Three of my bad habits:
- I’m slow at everything (except driving)
- I’m a terrible procrastinator
- I love reading gossip blogs/magazines
Five places I have lived:
- Toronto
- Scarborough, Canada (and proud of it!!!)
- Montreal
- Paris
- Milan (well, not the city proper but sort of the Scarborough of Milan. No donut shops, though)
Five jobs I have had:
- My mom was an Avon lady for 2 weeks and I was her”assistant”. Loved those mini sample lipsticks
- Cashier at supermarket (for all of 2 weeks – I see a pattern….)
- Waitress
- English Teacher
- Translator
Last but not least, 5 people I’d like to get to know better, or in other words, 5 folks I’m tagging for this meme:
I’m afraid of tagging someone who’s already been tagged for this meme. But I’d love to find out more about
Marie at Proud Italian Cook
Jenn at The Leftover Queen because my husband always complains about the food I let rot in the fridge
Le Meg at Blagueur à Paris cause you gotta respect karaoke
Amanda at A Tuscan View from Umbria cause she thinks Jude Law is a pixie
and … can’t think of anyone else at this time. I’ve also got a hand cramp and sore shoulder so I’m going to bed now. G’night!

Beatriz – You’ve just got to try it! And just think of all the extra calcium you’re getting in one dish
