What's your favorite midnight snack?

a slice of bread, roasted almost black on the gas flame, with a drop of oil. I know blackened things are not healthy but who cares???? :)

QotD: Say Cheese

What's your favorite type of cheese? Or, if you don't like cheese, why not?
Submitted by Draegon Scribe.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMH! Cheese!!! I love it!

I can't stand sheep and goat ones but I go crazy for almost all the ones made with cow milk (but for emmental and a few others)

They mix well with all flavours, they enrich everything you cook, and they're delicious alone...

(my dietologist told me to treat them exactly like I would poisonous mushrooms.... I lost 10 kilos, but 10 months without even looking at cheese have been real hell!)

My faves are Brie (exp. Caprice des Dieux), Camembert, Gorgonzola, Crescenza (a very creamy and soft italian cheese) and all the smoked ones. And I also love an italian caloric bomb called Torta di noci (=Walnut cake): that is soft gorgonzola layered with mascarpone and walnuts.... it's so good it has to be sinful :))

1.Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.

2.People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.

3.At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names. (sorry, I don'even KNOW eight people here...)

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment on their blog and tell them they’ve been tagged,and to come back and read your blog for the whole story. (so, I'll skip this part)

1) I never wear more than 2 colors (that means black, or black+1, like black+purple, black+red, black+white, black+grey...)

2) I never ever ever go out without makeup. I usually wear it even if I spend the whole day home, it's part of my "getting ready for the day" ritual, together with weighing myself, putting my anti-cellulite cream on, washing my face, getting dressed, wearing my usual 4 rings, a watch and and a pair of earrings, brushing my hair.

3) I hate mediterranean diet. Which, being italian, makes people look at you like you were a green martian.

4) I have a special feeling with iguanas and lemurs (I mean the animals, not the evil spirits, OF COURSE!!). I like them, and they seem to be attracted by me without any fear.

5) I don't eat anything containing fish or hot peppers, I absolutely can't stand it.

6) my "I-have-to-do-this-before-dying" thing is seeing the Northern Lights.

7) I prefer to have sex in the late afternoon.

8) I love changing the month leaf on calendars, because it brings me the idea of a whole brand new month to live, 30 new days of occasions.

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged hehehehehe >:o)))))

QotD: Step into My Closet

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?
Submitted by fightinggale.

Including all kinds, from sandals to boots, seventyfour.

eeehhhh, I know.... It's shameful to have so many, and it's even more shameful to know exactly the number without even have to think about it.

Most of them are in the price range $ 5-25, though, and the most expensive of all (around $100, ok, this time I'm ashamed for sure...) is a pair of short flat black boots that are absolutely all purpose. I wore them in the Death Valley and I wore them to go dancing, I can wear them with bare feet, with socks, with stockings and they never hurt my oh-so-Cinderella-sensitive-and-ever-blistering feet... so I think it was a good purchase. And they're also a travel souvenir, as I bought them in a lovely store in Helsinki. (you see them in the pic down there)

There are some of my shoes I seldom wear, but only about 5-6 pairs. Having sensitive feet, I change every day, so every pair "touches the skin" in a different place, if I wear the same pair for 3-4 days it'll end up in blisters, sure as hell.

The least worn (but most treasured hehehehehe) are the neon pink platform & 15 centimeters-stiletto-heeled sandals I bought on Sunset Boulevard LA. That shop was something unbelievable. I loved EVERY SINGLE SHOE THERE, I was plastered to the shop window like a band-aid... then my understanding and loving partner took me in the shop for a small gift. After all, I'm from Italy, how many times will I have the occasion to buy shoes on Sunset Boulevard???

I'm sure you ladies out there understand me perfectly!! :)))
