What's the first thing you do when you get home from work?

The first thing I do when I walk in the door is give my dog, Turk, attention. It's kind of hard not to, as he is right at the door from the garage.  He is so excited when I come home from work. He get lots of pets and scratches... then gets let out back so he can go do his dog business and play in the yard.  Then I go find my kitties and give them attention too.

It makes me feel better after a long day.

What question do you hate being asked?

I hate when people ask me when we're going to start having kids.

What was your biggest cooking disaster?

Many years ago, when Eric and I were still dating, I wanted to make us a nice dinner. The main dish was London Broil roast.

Man, did I ever screw that one up.

The roast ended up being completely burnt and leathery on the outside, raw on the inside, and completely inedible.

We ended up going out to eat that night.

The secret is out: He didn't marry me for my cooking skills.

What's your favorite type of cheese? Or, if you don't like cheese, why not?

I love cheese. How can anyone not like cheese?

My favorite is a nice, aged sharp  or extra sharp cheddar. But a good stand in is a colby-jack for most things like tacos and such.

What was your first car?

I don't have any digital pictures of my first car but It was the sedan (4-door) version of this fantastic piece of automotive craftsmanship.

I snitched this picture of teh interwebs.

What are your neighbors like? (The ones you live near or next to, not the ones in your Vox neighborhood!)

I hate (OK hate is a strong word) I dislike my current neighbors. They are mostly senior citizens who have nothing better to do than bitch about everything. I can't wait to move. Hopefully my neighbors in my new neighborhood are better.

What was your major or field of study in college? Did you wind up working in that field or using that degree? If not, what field have you wound up in?

What is your daily commute like?  What is the weirdest thing you've seen on that commute? 
Submitted by E. 

I drive about 3 miles to get to the freeway entrance, drive for 14 miles to Boulder City. Not too bad, it takes about 25 minutes each way every day.

Morning traffic isn't so bad, but the afternoon traffic people drive like complete assholes.

Not so much weird but ridiculous is that Fridays are even worse driving home due to all the people, most driving like major assholes, coming up from Arizona and California through Boulder City. Hello people! there is no need to drive 95 on a road where the speed limit is 65. Las Vegas isn't going anywhere. Why be in such a hurry to blow all your money.

What's your favorite kind of homemade cookie?  Share the recipe if you have it.

It would be my super-duper chocolate chip cookie recipe. My cookies are so good, I have been told they are better than Mrs Fields.

I am at work so I don't have the recipe with me, but here are the basics:

1. Mix together ingredients in a secretly guarded amounts, combinations and order:
        brown sugar
        butter Crisco
        vanilla- the good stuff only- not that imitation crap
        eggs
        flour
        milk
        chocolate chips of your choice

2. Dollop dough balls onto a baking sheet with a Silpat and bake for about 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven

3. Remove tray from oven and burn fingers and mouth on freshly baked cookies.

4. Try and let cookies cool completely before eating them all

Yield: Depends on how much dough I eat.
