Sunday Social on a Monday

Helloo.. I'm so sorry that this is being posted on a Monday, but as i live in London in the United Kingdom and i live 25 minutes away from where the oylmpics are being held ANDD on Sunday it was the closing ceremony i never actually got a chance to post this before.. too many things to celebrate.. so for this I'm sorry, that my Sunday Social will be a kinda Monday Social. I'm linking up with Ashley today  for a topic that is a close one to my heart.. FOOD! :)

Sunday Social

1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Okay, now for me this is either rice or pizza, ( i know, i know, the weirdest combo ever..) Pizza is my all time favourite food, Double pepperoni with mushrooms :) *licks lips* yummy.. but lately I've become quiet obsessed with rice too :| so out of those two.

2. Whats your guilty pleasure/Comfort food?
I have a thing for olives, the black ones, not green ones (EW) and with the pips out of them, i don't like having to take it out myself! Everyday after work for the past 3 weeks, i have been coming home and going straight to the olive jar and just munching on them! :S I dunno why!?

3. Whats the weirdest/craziest thing you've eaten?
I'm picky when it comes to weird/strange foods, i'm not like my kid sister, she will literally try anything and everything just to see if she likes it. I, on the other hand, consider weather or not to try it first and the weirdest thing I've ever tried was at a BBQ party a few weeks back.. and it was some Thai food, i cant remember the name,but it involved peanut butter.. and was gross! :(

4. What food do you avoid at all cost?
If i could remember the name to that Thai food, it would be that.. but Lamb, i just don't like it, cant take the smell, and cant take the taste too much either.

5. What meal reminds you of your childhood?
Probably the "Happy Meals" you used to get as a kid, i loved the toy inside the meal and mum used to take us there as a treat once in a while.. fun times! :)

6. Share one of your favourite recipes and the story behind it?
Rice and Tuna, (as we call it at work) but ideally "Tuna and Rice Stir Fry" I have the recipe but even when i try to make it it doesn't come out quiet like Monica's one at work, its basically rice and tuna, with peppers, onions and some vegetables like sweetcorn and peas.. it doesn't sound like much but it is AMAZINGG, trust me on that!!

Don't forget to link up with Ashley, but also leave me your blog links, i ALWAYS check them out.. :) I would love to know all about your food habits and such!
Don't forget to check back next week, for another Sunday Social, based on "Throwbacks" oh i loved the 90's looking forward to that one! :)

Sunday Social the Second

Today is Sunday, which means i got my second Sunday Social, and I'm excited to get it going..

Sunday Social

So on to the questions..which are all about "Fall" or as we in the United Kingdom call it "Autumn"

1.  What is your favourite Fall (Autumn) activity?
This was a pretty hard question as i don't really know if i do ANY fall activities let alone have a favourite one, so i had to google this shit up..YES, i typed in "Fall Activities" and looked at what popped up.. and the only one that had any meaning to me and something that i typically do, was around the time of Halloween. I LOVE Halloween, but here in the United kingdom they don't celebrate as much as i guess i would want them too. Growing up, you see all these American films and they have these American kids who celebrate Halloween and they go so over the top and it just looks awesome, yeah well, where I'm from we don't have it that big and i wish we did.

2. Do you follow a football team? if so which one and why?!
I do, i follow Manchester United. They are from England and from Manchester, i guess i grew up watching them play as my daddy supported them so they're basically the only team i have known from such a young age, and that i know more about them than other teams.. GO RED DEVILS! :)
ALSO.. When i say "Football" i mean the United Kingdom term and to the Americans that's "Soccer", i don't really watch any "American Football" to know any teams properly, and "American Football" in the United Kingdom is classed as "Rugby"! <-- Confused yet?!

3. What is something fun about Fall (Autumn) in your area?
I guess we have some Marshes near by to where i live so one of the fun things to do,would be take a walk down by the canal and see the boats. You can take a nature walk, or if your like me just taking the dog out for a walk down there.. Bella's been once and enjoyed it, i would say that's one of the fun things to do in my area around Fall (Autumn) time.

4. What are your favourite Fall (Autumn) outfit staples?
Boots, urm kinda like riding boots? so longish, a beanie hat over my head, I'm taking about a big mofo,that clearly is not the right size for my head but i don't care, and Jumpers, not too thick, like as if to say I'm talking winter, but thick enough to be warm in those cool fall (Autumn) breezes!

5. What things are you most looking forward to this coming Fall (Autumn) season?
Well, I'm starting a new job in September and i know i will have a whole week off, which with my old job i never got, so I'm kinda looking forward to spending time with my loved ones, relaxing..being cosy inside and catching some good movies! :)

6. What is your favourite Fall (Autumn) holiday? Traditions?
Well apart from looking forward to Halloween, have i said this before? OK, OK,  I'm a tad bit excited at all the movies that come on for us to watch, and I'm a tad bit excited for all the sweets we shall get to eat too around Halloween time, But for me Fall is all about Nature, so i guess I'm looking forward to hopefully capturing some nice shots of nature while taking long walks through the crunchy leaves!

There you have it, another edition of a Sunday Social. Are you guys enjoying these posts? I actually am loving making them, so i wont be stopping for a while! :) HAHAA..
