I love getting those emailed surveys where you answer any number of inane questions, then forward to several friends and compare answers. In fact, I just responded to one today, and it occurred to me that this could be a fun way to generate some traffic here on “Dottier.” So, c’mon dear reader – don’t be shy. Join (start?) the fun. You should be able to copy/paste this survey into a comment box, then just delete my responses and insert your own.
************************************************************
1. What are you wearing right now?
blue jeans, black zippered hoodie, slippers
2. Describe your favorite sandwich
Warning – This will pretty much use up your daily calorie allotment, but here goes… start with a hoagie roll, slather with pizza sauce, layer a few slices of deli ham, genoa salami, pepperoni, add some chopped onions, mushrooms, & jalapeno peppers, cover with a big handful of shredded cheese (cheddar, jack &/or mozzarella). Wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
