I was reading – I think it was on Cup of Jo – a list of things to ask on the first date, and “Bread or Potatoes” was someone’s must ask question. So I thought it might be fun for a series of posts to do some This or That questions.
Here we go….
Bread or potatoes?
Well, while I love both bread and potatoes, the true answer for me is noodles.
Cake or Pie?
This one is tough, but I think I would have to say pie, particularly fruit pie. If it’s a cream pie, though, I’d rather have cake.
Taco or Burrito?
Taco. Sometimes a burrito is just too much of everything to get in my mouth at one time. I like that a taco can have so many differen tastes.
Dumplings or noodles?
ooohhhh – I would only answer this if absolutely had to. Okay, if I absolutely had to, I think I would go with dumplings. Such perfect little packages of food. No wait, noodles – so fun and slurpy and versatile. No,dumplings. No, noodles. AAAAAGH! Can’t decide.
Cook for others or have someone cook for you?
I would rather cook for others. Cooking for someone is one of my love languages.
Coffee or Tea?
Tea, definitely tea. I’m not a coffee drinker. Except in my tiramisu.
Ketchup or soy sauce?
Soy sauce, without a doubt. I can’t imagine my kitchen without soy sauce.
Underripe banana or over ripe banana?
This one is tough too. I guess I would rather eat an underripe banana, but over ripe bananas are great for baking.
Oven or Grill?
Oh this one is tough because I love grillimg and baking. If I could only have one I think it would be the ovenZ
Slow Cooker or Instant Pot?
Instant Pot. I feel like things always taste a little plastic-y in my slow cooker. I love my IP for so many things – soups, eggs cooked just the way I like, cooking meat from frozen, brown rice. Although, having said that, the Husband prefers the slow cooker. We’re actually in the market for a new slow cooker – I had loaned out our last one and I don’t think we’ll be getting it back. Suggestions welcome!
Hard candy or gummy candy?
Gummy definitely gummy candy. Especially if it’s sour. Twin snakes and Nerd Clusters are my candy weakness.
Breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast?
Hmmm… Breakfast for dinner is such a classic idea, but I have been known to eat dinner leftovers for breakfast because it is such an easy option. Or Dinner for breakfast with a sunny side up egg on top. I would say for intentional meal planning, I would go with Breakfast for Dinner.
Cone or Cup?
Cone. Though if I can get away with it, I’ll ask for the cup with the cone on top.
Give up chocolate or give up cheese?
Oooohh so tough. I would say I would be more willing to give up cheese, even though I don’t eat a whole lot of chocolate. I eat a lot of cheese, but I enjoy chocolate more.
Raw or Cooked?
Okay, hot take – cooking rarely improves food. Case in point – sushi, cookie dough, vegetables, steak. Okay, maybe I don’t want to find out about raw chicken or pork. But if a food is edible in an uncooked state, I often prefer the uncooked state.
Take out or delivery?
Take out. I got burned by Door Dash maybe five or six years ago- We had ordered Chipotle and the Door Dash driver only picked up half my order and I couldn’t get them to go back and get the rest of it, or refund my money. Chipotle washed their hands of the issue too. I was SO mad. We had a house full of hungry children. That was the last time I ever ordered delivery. Plus it’s such a racket for the restaurants.
