The fall. I love the leaves turning colors.

Teal

Sherlock ... and Doctor Who

Mint Oreo

1. I'd say like -18C with windchill and I'm not going to out. Less than that and I'll just dress for success.

2. As a kid I LOVED winter. I was a competitive skier, and I was good when I was just average at everything else so I loved the confidence, being outside, and spending time with my Dad and friends. Now as an adult winter means higher gas bills, shovelling, and my son's competitive hockey (aka $$ and driving lol) plus as a teacher I get summers off now so I'd have to say summer lol.

3. I absolutely loved and still love science, specifically genetics and immunology. I am still very passionate about it and hope to someday get back to teaching it vs French.

4. I would love to be a Grade 12 U-prep Biology teacher. There is some amazing curriculum there. Even better, I'd love to open my own home-school co-op or small private school.

5. I always say my favourite colour is red, but in reality most of my clothes are purples and paint colours at home are forest-y greens or creams.

6. I Netflix binge watch and am I to Grey's right now. My favourite show of all time would have to be House though.

7. Lately I've been thinking about moving to Alberta a lot (it's a possibility). If I could bring my family with me is love to live somewhere warm for a while.

8. Heavenly Hash

9. I've never been on vacation as an adult. I went to Disney as a child and France as a teenager, but my favourite weekend trip ever was to Mt. Tremblant with my ski team. I don't remember specifics really, just being really happy.

Oh man, the pasta, pizza and gelato!!!!!! Haha

So my family is from this tiny town in the mountains, and 90% of them are still over there. Actually, one of my uncles never came over to the U.S. He stayed in Italy with his grandparents. That being said. You can't go anywhere in that damn town without walking uphill. So my grandfather basically kicked me out of the house around 10am and I played with all the neighborhood kids, worked with my great aunt in the garden, walked to the chestnut grove, and visited family until dinner at 3, ate like a fiend, and then we had evening walks. I lost 20lbs. It's seriously all uphill. BOTH FUCKING WAYS. If I stayed in a hotel in Rome or something, I can imagine gaining 20. Haha.

[tikoberry99]

1. In your opinion how could is too cold to go for a walk outside? Probably 40 degrees.

7. Where would you live, if you could live anywhere? Somewhere in the Caribbean where I could just hand out in warm water all day....an island with no big waves though...I like the water smooth!

8. What is your favorite Ice Cream. Chocolate and marshmallow....a flavor I haven't had since I was a kid. I used to have this ice cream EVERY night at 7 PM.

9. What is the best Vacation you have taken? That's a hard one. I love Hawaii b/c of the water, but I was in LOVE with London for years. So it's a tie!

[tikoberry99]

TheTuna15, fellow Jersey girl here and I miss it so much!

[lostinfaith225]

TheTuna15

That is really cool!!!! I loved Italy! I want to go back.

[TheTuna15]

tikoberry99, I feel ya! I've never been happy living anywhere else.

lostinfaith225, I can't wait until MH is done with residency and we can go (he's never been). The food alone is just worth the price of going there IMO.

[lostinfaith225]

TheTuna15

Now I am thinking about the food. Haha. I can't spell it correctly, but we LOVED the pasta with pepper and cheese.

We have tried to replicate it here, but haven't found a good recipe.

[TheTuna15]

lostinfaith225, Cacio e Pepe? The one that's served in cream sauce with pappardelle?

The problem with that one is that once you've been spoiled by fresh pasta and cheese it's hard to make something comparable with regular grocery store ingredients. I know I have a recipe for it sitting around somewhere. Full disclosure, I can't remember the last time I've referenced a recipe for Italian food because my MO is throw shit in, taste, throw more shit in, taste, rinse and repeat.
