From this week's [community profile] thefridayfive - other answers here.

1. Mysteries. Do you sleuth alongside Nancy Drew or Miss Marple? Fan of Nero Wolfe?

As a kid I was an obsessive reader and I pretty blew out my allowance every week on Nancy Drew. In later years I have enjoyed the work of Sarah Andrews, whose novels featured the forensic geologist Em Hansen as a detective sleuth. Send me all the brainy/science-y detective ladies and their adventures, I ♥ them.

2. Plan on making a batch of chili? Have a top secret recipe to share?

I think most chili is overrated, but every once in a while, I enjoy a black bean chili with cilantro pesto. This is not the exact recipe, but it's close. And yes, the cilantro pesto makes the recipe, it cannot be left out.

3. Does your car or did a family car have a name?

My car is affectionately known as the Little Teal Vegan Mobile and/or the Lean Green Vegan Machine - mostly because it is plastered with sanctuary stickers and I have destroyed the inside of it conducting rescue, transport, and other activism.

4. Did you walk to school with your friends? Take a school bus?

I went to far too many different schools as a kid due to the 80s recession and moving all over the place. There's only at one point in my life can I remember being actually close enough to walk to school, and that was a brief period when we lived in Vermont. Every other year I rode a bus, often for hours a day.

5. Ever have someone carry your books home from school?

Not too and from, though I think I can recall L. at least offering to carry them through the hallways once or twice. I was a really independent brat, though.
