a cultural test

Blackbird never tags anyone, but I know that if she did, she would tag me. So I consider myself tagged. And I consider all my blogging readers tagged by me.

What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
Pears.

Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
No. It's clementine weather. (This is Blackbird's answer, but it goes for me too.)

What would you change about your living room?
I'd break away a few walls, finish sanding the floor, paint the walls, and install a tin ceiling.

Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?
We don't have a dishwasher.

What is in your fridge?
Half an onion, cranberries, cumin Gouda, soup vegetables, dog food, mozarella, goat cheese, rose hip jam, eggs, margarine, butter, marmalade, ketchup, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, maple syrup, left over gravy, turkey breast, smoked ham, hot sauce, milk, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, Tabasco, piccalilli, hamburger relish, capers, tartar sauce, pickles, sambal.

White or wheat bread?
Both.

What is on top of your refrigerator?
Dog food, dog biscuits, a bottle of sake, and a pile of printed recipes.

What color or design is on your shower curtain?
Stripes. Lots of colours.

How many plants are in your home?
None at all, I hate plants. They take up room.

Is your bed made right now?
Yes. And my electrical blanket is warming it up. For when I have finished typing this blog entry.

Comet or Soft Scrub?
Pardon me?

Is your closet organized?
Yes. But not very neatly piled.

Can you describe your flashlight?
Yes, we have mag-lites. I keep them in a kitchen cabinet together with the candles and the matches. For when there is a power outage.

Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home?
Glass! Plastic, what a disgusting idea.

Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?
No.

If you have a garage, is it cluttered?
We don't have a garage.

Curtains or blinds?
Curtains.

How many pillows do you sleep with?
Two.

Do you sleep with any lights on at night?
No.

How often do you vacuum?
Once or twice a week.

Standard toothbrush or electric?
Standard. Hmm. I never thought of the opposite of electric as being 'standard.'
(I am leaving a lot of BB's answers unchanged)

What color is your toothbrush?
Magenta. But I urgently need a new one.

Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch?
I have a 4 x 6 sisal rug on the front porch.

What is in your oven right now?
The racks.

Is there anything under your bed?
Yes, a big folder with a series of lithographs Michiel did back in the eighties. We have no other place for it. And a baby's mattress.

Chore you hate doing the most?
Changing the beds.

What retro items are in your home?
I don't think we have anything retro. Retro is fake old. In our home everything that looks old is old.

No.

How many mirrors are in your home?
Many, probably more than thirty.

What color are your walls?
White, except the bathroom. Which I painted blue.

Of dog needing shower.

Favorite candle scent?
No!!

What kind of pickles (if any) are in your refrigerator right now?
Garlic and sweet.

A coat. It's freaking cold out.
