Fun Five: Carol Snow

Apr 7, 2010 by shanyn

1. What is your favorite holiday?
Groundhog Day! Okay, not really, but how cool would that be? Halloween is my favorite; nothing else even comes close. Sure, I spend my days making up stuff about people who don’t exist (and get paid for it – what a racket). On Halloween, I get to actually be someone else! A few years ago, my husband and I dressed as Britney Spears and Kevin Federline (in their prime – not after she shaved her head and he gained fifty pounds). Researching poor, paparazzi-hounded Britney helped spark the idea for JUST LIKE ME, ONLY BETTER.

2. If you could only have one candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
If I had to choose just one, I’d go with Three Musketeers. But honestly? I am more of a cookie gal, with a pronounced weakness for Thin Mints. Last week I was nearing the end of my stash when I scored another box from a bunch of Daisy Scouts outside a grocery store. Now I’m down to my final half sleeve (hidden in the freezer where my kids won’t find it) and kicking myself for not buying more.

3. Describe what’s on your kitchen table.
An old aqua ceramic bowl that I found at a flea market, filled with tangerines. Also, crumbs.

4. What one meal do you cook the most often?
Dinner. I cook (or at least “heat”) 5-6 times a week. I love to turn on music, pour a glass of wine, and unwind from the day. I have a husband and two very busy kids, and dinner is our time to reconnect.

5. Tell us the name of your first pet.
Midnight. He was a black cat. I’m kind of disappointed in my family’s lack of imagination in naming him, but he gave us fifteen good years (and lots of small rodents).
