Don't know - my son us usually the designer. We will have a variety of faces.
Do you have your pumpkins already?

Hmmm... I like both the turkey and the ham... and the cheese potato casserole one of Jared's aunt makes, and my own potato-sausage-bacon-hardboiled eggs casserole... so yeah. The whole dinner table as it is.
Are you dressing up for Halloween (and if yes, as what)?

Christmas Eve is one of my favourites. My family does the Polish tradition of Vigilia, where we all get together on Christmas Eve and have a dinner with traditional white foods, and exchange presents. My mom and I always make her delicious cheesecake (with sour cream top layer) for dessert, and sometimes there are blueberry pierogies for dessert too.
What was the last dish you made that turned out just right?
Should I go out for lunch today or eat the leftovers I brought to the office?
You should go out and have pizza.
When the pizza gets to my office - we do "Pizza Friday" nearly every week - should I have two slices of plain pizza, or one slice of plain and one slice of sausage pizza?

My transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco. 13 hour flight with one tiny meal and one crappy snack and almost no chance of sleeping or getting up: as soon as I turned in to sleep, the German couple next to me started reciting English dialogues from their travel wordbook in a horrid accent, but when I wanted to get up, they were asleep. Reseating was not an option on an overbooked flight... Gotta love UA.
Have you had a flu this season yet?
