Getting to Know Me - aka Nora-ology

I got this from a friend's blog (thanx Wench!) & thought it would be a nice way for you to get to know me a little better. If you want to play along (& I'd really love it if you would), put it up on your blog, or send me an e-mail...replace my answers with yours and re-post this as your name followed by “ology”.

***********FOOD-OLOGY***************

What is your salad dressing of choice?
Kraft Russian

What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
Well, I'm a lot pickier nowadays, thanks to this cranky ole pancreas, but hands down it's still MacCool's Irish Pub for buffalo shepherd's pie or A Little Taste of Britain for my fish n chips.

What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of?
Nothing really. It's a crap shoot any more. Yogurt maybe...or a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.

What are your pizza toppings of choice?
