I once had chocolate gravy at someone's house and it was awful.

I'd get rid of those blankets that people wear. One of those As Seen on TV products where they tout its usefulness and show how hard it is to use a blanket. A snuggie? Those.

No more than thirty minutes worth at a time, praise the baby Jesus.

Elizabeth Warren (assuming you mean both houses, if just the House Joe Kennedy 3; Kennedys are noble train wrecks, and I would like to meet one).

Open Water

Marital bitching while being kind of worried about sharks. Worst major studio film I've ever seen.

You have a magic hamster than will find one object you have lost in your lifetime and return it to you in one piece. What object would it be and when / how did you lose it?

My original wedding ring set. I got poison ivy once (the first time, the time I found myself to have a virulent allergy to poison ivy) and I was at work a few days later, and it was awful. It was all over my hands, and my rings were driving me nuts. So I took them off, put them in a baggie, and THOUGHT they went onto my purse. But I never saw them again. I get a nicer, fancier set later, but it just wasn't the same.

You have a magic hamster that will find one object you have lost in your lifetime and return it to you in one piece ONE TIME in the hamsters life. Do you give the hamster the name of an object, or do you sell the hamster?

I'd sell him. Today. To you. For a penny.

You now have a magic hamster that can make anyone else lose one tangible object forever. Who and what object and why?

Justin Biebers larynx

You're welcome

Name one thing you like about someone you don't like.

I like my boss Dave's truck.

If you could own your own business what type of business would it be?

Either a recording studio or a restaurant.

Suppose you worked in my restaurant. What job would you want (e.g., wait staff, cook, bartender, etc.)?

I would be your manager.

If I was your manager would you allow me to be off Christmas Eve?

Roxy wrote:I would be your manager.

If I was your manager would you allow me to be off Christmas Eve?

We wouldn't even be open Christmas Eve. I would want my employees at home with their families.

Are there still smoking sections in the restaurants in your state, or is there an indoor smoking ban in place like there is here?

There is an indoor smoking ban (excluding some dive bars I'm sure), though you can smoke whatever you want outside now, kind of.

If you did own a restaurant, what would your signature cuisine be?

Principally Italian, with made-from-scratch pasta, sauces, and pizza crusts. We'd have a secondary specialization in steaks.

And Eloh cakes.

What is your favorite pasta dish?

Lasagna, light on the meat, heavy on the sauce.

What kind of oven would you bake your made-from-scratch pizzas in? Brick? Clay? Conveyer belt?

While I do enjoy brick over pizza, I like using stoneware in a conventional so that I can broil at the end and brown the cheese.

What is your favorite pizza- crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings?

Crust - thin crust, though deep dish can be good if it's done right.
Sauce - Standard tomato sauce, I have not tried making my own (with heirloom) tomatoes, but I'd love to try.
Cheese - Mozzerela. Provolone is also good. Goat cheese is too, though it's difficult to eat a lot with it because of the richness in flavor.
Toppings - Veggies! Onions (yellow or green, raw or grilled or caramelized), mushrooms, spinach, olives, fresh tomatoes, any kind of peppers, etc. I'm not a vegetarian by nature, but I am by habit.

Pizza slice orientation: quadrilaterals or triangles?

Triangles.

Favorite "big name" chain pizza place?

LaRosa's, though I don't think it extends very far beyond Cincinnati. If you're talking national chains, I don't have a preference. According to Wikipedia, Subway is considered a pizza chain.

How often do you eat pizza?
