Describe your most romantic evening.

Red Velvet cake: Cream cheese frosting or Meringue frosting?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Yum!!

Instead of romantic evening, I have to change it to a "day" - It was a perfect autumn day with a very special someone, walking through Old Town Alexandria, sitting on a bench along the Potomac River and drinking lattes and talking. I know, it all sounds very plain, but that day was so wonderful (actually weekend). I would love to be able to travel to Paris with this guy.

how appropriate that i just finished listening to "On Ten Square Miles By the Potomac River" from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Tis not plain, Dottie. It's the company that matters most!

Cookie, you're absolutely right!

Kringas, that test is good way to weed people out!

Who would you say had the greatest influence on who you are today and why?

Both of my parents. As I get older, I'm able to appreciate all they've done for me more and more, and I definitely see a little bit of both of them in me. They are not materialistic people, but stressed the importance of family. My family (not just my parents and siblings) are very dear to me. That's one of the things I regret about living in a different place than most of them. But I do treasure the times that I go and visit.

Undi - thanks for giving me five objects, people usually only say one!! First of all, my two cats, Gabriel and Giselle. I am so attached to them. My high school yearbook and photo albums. My grandmother's cake tin. I wish I could say, all of my cookbooks, but we'd be here all day!

Dottie - if you were told you could have any five items from the Library of Congress (where a copy of everything copyrighted is kept, even music manuscripts!) what would they be?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 3:47pm

DG, I don't know if there are 5 things that I'd like to have, but thanks for being so generous in your question. I would definitely like to have the original manuscript to Thornton Wilder's, "Our Town" (my favorite play).

Dinner party guests - Julia Child (just because), Condi Rice (because of her classical music background), Former President and Hilary Clinton (because it would just make it even more interesting with Condi there), Thomas Jefferson (because of his knowledge of Paris, France). How's that for an eclectic group?

Dottie - what is one sport or extreme sport that you haven't tried that you want to (even though you might never because you're afraid)

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:18pm

The words Dottie and sports used in the same sentence!! I always crack my family up when I get the sports questions correct on Jeopardy.

I would love to be able to ski again. I learned when I was 5, but by 14 I become deathly afraid of it and never went again. I literally walked down the mountain. Something I've never tried is water skiing.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:25pm

oh, you should try it!

Hope you've been having a wonderful day, Dottie!

Ok, here's a question for you:

What is your favorite song from Light in the Piazza?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:33pm

Without a doubt, "Love to Me"!! That song still gives me chills after all this time.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:35pm

*sigh*

Dottie, did you get your tickets for the final performance yet?

*wipes away tears at the thought*

[Craig]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:38pm

1. What's your favorite kind of toast? What's your favorite thing to put on your toast?

2. You're being "exiled" to anywhere in the world.
a) where would you least like to go
b) what 3 cd's would drive you crazy if that's all you had
to listen to
c) You only get one meal served over and over - what meal
do you hope it's not
d) What one celebrity would you not want to be chained up
with during your exile

3. On a happier note/subject: What or who inspires you on a daily basis?

4. What is your favorite part of the day and why

5. If you grow up in a different generation (decade) which one would you choose and why?

and 6. If you could go back to when you were 7 years old and give the 7 year old you advice - what would it be?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:44pm

Craig, Excellent questions, but I'll wait until I get home tonight before I answer them.

Addy, not yet, but I will get them when I'm in NYC in a couple of weeks.

this is for you, Dottie!

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:53pm

oops, I tried to post a photo, but it didn't work

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:55pm

Here we go!

Jane2, what a beautiful photo. Thanks. A pocketbook plant (or that's what I used to call it when I was a kid).

I was wondering where you were today.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 5:03pm

My pleasure, Dottie! that's so funny-pocketbook plant is exactly what I call it. It does have an official botannic name that the woman who was selling these told me but I'll never remember. You really don't see much of these nowadays. the woman told me they were from way back. I also call them pillow plants.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 5:46pm

What a pretty picture.

Dottie... don't miss it! Get those tickets soon!

More 'hurrahs' for Dottie - and to bump to the top so he doesn't have to look for it when he gets home
