It’s last week’s Friday Five<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?<\/b> We’ve got a purifier on the fridge which we use. Our tap water quality has gone down since we tied into Denver’s water system — but even that’s head-and-shoulders above tap water in SoCal.<\/p>\n

(I remember when I first arrived in Denver, going to a home show and being accosted by a guy selling bottled water. “The water straight out of the tap here is so much better than what I’m used to,” I told him, “it would be a waste of money.”)<\/p>\n

2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?<\/b> Wavy Lay’s Au Gratin, a\/k\/a the Death Chip (since they can drive you into hypertension just by looking at the bag). I eat a bag of them about once a year. At one sitting.<\/p>\n

That’s potato chips. In the corn chips, just natural Gold ‘n’ Salt styles are my fave, though occasionally some Nacho Cheese Doritos force their orange way down my throat.<\/p>\n

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?<\/b> I make pretty damned good chili, if I do say so myself. If we extend it to food prep in general, I’d have to make it a toss-up between my pecan pie and my chocolate pecan strata.<\/p>\n

4. How do you have your eggs?<\/b> Scrambled or omelette. Or, on a skillet dish, basted. Never hard- or soft-boiled.<\/p>\n

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?<\/b> Heh. Margie, natch. And faboo, natch.<\/p>\n
