Hello darling Witch! I hope you're doing well today! Like I said in the chatter thread, I'll be answering questions mostly in here so as not to clutter up the thread too much. And instead of doing one huuuuuuge entry with all of the questions, I'll be putting them in different posts. I'm crazy busy right now what with grad school and work, but I have an hour at work each day that's just basically sitting around so I'll be using that time to catch up with the questions!

On to the first round of questions!

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?

Yes to the homemade foods! And if you wanted to slip a recipe in with it, I would love that!

I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible!

Hmm. The first purchase would be a can of tennis balls. I use them work the knots out of my neck and back and I always need more. Then probably a nail polish (I'm partial to pinks and reds and purples). To finish it off, probably some beef jerky and those candy pumpkins (the ones like candy corn but they're pumpkin shaped).

What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants?

Truth be told, I have yet to meet a food that I don't like I belong on Team Eat All the Things for sure! Favorites include Greek, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, and Indian. As far as restaurants, I don't actually eat out that often. It's harder to eat low carb at a restaurant, and my budget doesn't really have room for eating out unfortunately.

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here?

I have heard tell of maple sugar candies. This is definitely something I would be interested in trying!

What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?

I love Harry Potter (Ravenclaw represent!), Labyrinth, Wheel of Time, Neil Gaiman's Sandman. And yes to the TeeFury shirt!

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

I have a Nook tablet that I loooooooove to a thousand tiny pieces. It drastically increased how many books I read in a week.

Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things?

Not so much. I always think "Ooh, s'mores!" but then when I actually try them, it's way too sweet for me.

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

The lovely Glambie gifted me with a testable sniffie of CC: Female and I just about died. I never thought I was going to get to smell that one!

Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example)

Kitchen towels! My roommate only brought the kind that's 90% polyester and they're useless for actually drying dishes. So cotton kitchen towels are awesome, as are any and all kitchen gadgets! Yes on the bento box and supplies (I'm tired of carting my lunch around in a plastic Target bag lol!), and definitely a yes on the spice mixes!

Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear?

I love seasonal and cute PJ bottoms! Not the fluffy kind because I get hot very easily. I think I'm either a L or an XL.

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?

I love dark and milk chocolate (no white please!) and any combination of nuts/spices/flavors/etc. Please to be sending me all your chocolates

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?

I am currently having a torrid affair with TJ's salted caramels. Any and all of Penzey's spice mixtures makes my heart go pitter patter!

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

I love candles! I don't have a tart burner (and please no incense), so that's probably out. I love to burn anything except really foody smelling stuff (like vanilla buttercream. It just makes me hungry and that's no good!).

Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter?

Yes!!!

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't).

I don't drink at all, so this would be wasted on me

Marzipan?

I've never tried it before but have always wanted to, so yes!

If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that?

Yes to all the above! I love trying new to me foods and treats, so I would love anything you send!

If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)?

I am in desperate need of more hats and scarves. I moved from a pretty mild climate to Minnesota and I don't think I have enough heavy duty winter gear. Scarlet, kelly green, maroon and gold (go Gophers!), and royal blue or purple are all wonderful colors

Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out?

Nope. My roommate is a dental student and we are very rarely in the house together, so you're good on that front Witch!
