1. Blue cheese and pears...because you LOVE blue cheese

11. Chocolate...just because I know this...but chocolate and salt is your favorite?

12. Silver...because it is a lighter metal and doesn't weigh down your spirt as much as gold would?

13. First husband...because he is not the sdmf.

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples?

The first because it's grosser. Hehe ;)

Hrmm sweet?

I think you like them both, but Snape is darker and more interesting.

12. silver or gold?
Silver

13. first husband or second husband?
First?

I doubt I am going to be very good at this...

but I'll take some guesses...

1.blue cheese and pears because you first ate it and loved the combination ina romantic setting.

2. Sour pickels, they go well with savoury snacks.

3. Snape...because you have known the character longer and have more information and backgorund. Maybe by the thrid Pirate movie, Sparrow will trump him.

4. I don't know at all.

5. Chicken noodle because no one really likes pea soup. Besides, it has a nightmare association from Linda Blair.

6. I don't know at all.

7.

8. Harry Potter

9. anyone who drives doesn't really like getting the back seat...so you prefer to drive.

10.Zepelin, because you like to throw shapes.

11.chocolate. Always chocolate wins.

12. Silver is the colour for magic and magicians and mystery. Gold is too goody goody.

13. First husband. The problems were more innocent and less jaded. For all of us, second husbands we just should have known better!

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples? I would've pegged you for bleu and pears, but since that's what every other person so far has picked, I'll go with cheddar and apples just to be contrary.
2. sweet pickles or sour pickles? Sour, because you're sweet enough already. (snicker)
3. Professor Snape or Captain Jack Sparrow? Hhhhmmmm....They both have a lot of potential, yet could both benefit from some bathing...Personally, I'd go for Jack, but I'll guess Snape for you based solely on your blog name.
4. house in the country or house in the city? Country, because your dogs need room to run.
5. pea soup or chicken noodle soup? Oh gawd, I HOPE it's chicken noodle because pea soup is just NASTY.
6. Paris or Tokyo?Paris, for the food.
7. red wine or white wine? Yes. Heh. (Real guess...red. I think maybe I've heard you state a preference for red, unless I dreamed that.)
8. Harry Potter or LOTR (movies)? I'll go with HP, just because of the Snape connection, although I know you like Legolas too, so this is a tricky one!
9. driving or being chauffeured? You seem like a driver sort to me.
10. Zeppelin or the Beatles? Uuuuhhh....I truly have no idea on this one. Beatles?
11. chips or chocolate? Chips! I'm almost sure I remember you saying you have much more of a salt jones than a sweet tooth.
12. silver or gold? Silver? That's just a guess, but silver seems more artsy to me.
13. first husband or second husband? First, for pretty much exactly the reason Candy said.

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples?
Blue cheese and pears. You like your cheese like your men, strong and ripe! LOL

2. sweet pickles or sour pickles?
Sour. Miss Pucker!

3. Professor Snape or Captain Jack Sparrow?
Ohhhh. Both. But perhaps Snape edges out Capt. Jack. Or maybe Capt. Jack because he actually lives in VT.

4. house in the country or house in the city?
Country. You love the city, but I think you are ready for the country and time to relax.

5. pea soup or chicken noodle soup?
pea. thick and yummy

6. Paris or Tokyo?
Tokyo. Japan is the other country of your heart.

7. red wine or white wine?
Shoot I knew I should have drunk with you more. This is a total guess, red. White seems to shishi for you.

8. Harry Potter or LOTR (movies)?
LOTR

9. driving or being chauffeured?
Driving. You love to drive!

10. Zeppelin or the Beatles?
Zep.

11. chips or chocolate?
Chips. Salt is your addiction.

silver

13. first husband or second husband?
First. second was a total shit!

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples? Bleu Cheese and pears (because it smells bad)

13... ummmm 2nd?

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples? Tough pick, but since you're from New England, I'll say 'chedda & apples'.
2. sweet pickles or sour pickles? Maybe half-sour? They are so much better than regular sour.
3. Professor Snape or Captain Jack Sparrow? You mean you can't have both?
4. house in the country or house in the city? Country, so Wolf can run in the woods.
5. pea soup or chicken noodle soup? Pea soup. Again, the NE thing.

13. first husband or second husband? Neither, or you'd still be married to him!

Ok, I"m not going to comment on all of them, because I don't know/tried some of the things you mentioned, but i will comment on some!

I prefer sweet pickles over sour pickles...probably because I have a sweet tooth.

I also would get a house in the country...I love the outdoors and it's hard to feel like you're living in the outdoors when you live next to the highway (like I do now)

And chocolate over chips because of the sweettooth.

And the gold vs silver thing is a toss up. I like both. :)

My 13 is up. I moved my blog so this is my first 13 in my new digs.

I comment from Egypt, it s too cool now to stay at the beach I try to post from time to time.

These are pure guesses, of course!

Happy TT!

Fun list!

1. bleu cheese & pears
2. sweet pickles
3. Professor Snape o
4. house in the country
5. chicken noodle soup?
6. Paris
7. red wine
8. Harry Potter
9. driving
10. Zeppelin
11. chips
12. silver
13. second husband?

The only guesses I'm comfortable making are the ones with Harry Potter references. I think your blog theme gives those answers away. ;)

I hate to promote myself but my 13 are random passages from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Drop by if you get a chance.

1. cheddar cheese & apples (blue cheese and pears are both disgusting)
2. sweet pickles
3. Captain Jack Sparrow
4. house in the city
5. chicken noodle soup
6. Tokyo (because I have been to Paris already)
7. white wine
8. I have never seen a Harry Potter movie, so this is hard for me to pick- I say Harry Potter
9. being chauffered (I love the bus!)
10. Beatles
11. chocolate
12. gold
13. first husband (here's hoping I don't ever need a second!)

Oops. I didn't read the directions very carefully, so I chose what I would prefer. I will say that you choose the same things. =)

1. Can I have both of them?
2. Sour ones, please. I love sour and salty food :)
3. I've no idea who they are :?
4. In a city for a living, in a country for a vacation. Because city offers more facilities than a country, but when we're on vacation, we need to be away from the city's noises.
5. Hmm. Can I have mushroom soup, instead?
6. Paris. I don't like oriental stuff :)
7. Red. Just because :)
8. None - not my kind of movies :)
9. Being chauffeured, because I can't drive :)
10. Queen! LOL The Beatles, then...
11. Dark/white chocolate.
12. White gold.
13. I haven't been married, so I don't know. Maybe the second one would be better than the first one? Hehe.

I'd say LOTR, Led Zeppelin, red wine, Tokyo, silver, first husband, Snape, chauffered, sweet pickles, I know you like tomato soup, so maybe pea soup, house in the country 'cos you like nature a lot, blue cheese and pears.

That was fun! I forgot today was Thursday.

Oh, I forgot
chips 'cos you said you preferred savory. :)

1. cheddar cheese & apples----don't like bleu cheese

2. Sweet pickles---love the ones that my mom makes.

3. Captain Jack Sparrow...sorry but just love Johnny Depp

4. house in the country---had both before

5. chicken noodle...my favorite

6. Paris...always wanted to go!

7. don't drink wine

8. HARRY POTTER...I can't seem to get into the LOTR. Harry is my favorite!!

9. driving...I like to be in control with driving.

10. Beatles...Love the music!

11. Chocolate.....my favorite.

12. silver...just looks better on me.

13. don't know ...single!!

Great Idea!!! Happy New Year!

1. bleu cheese & pears- Because someone signed you up for that pears of the month club and you can't let them go to waste!

2. sour pickles- You like the way your mouth puckers when you eat them.

3. Captain Jack Sparrow- Because he knows where the rum is buried!

4. house in the country- It's easier to daydream when you're not surrounded by concrete and taxi-drivers honking.

5. chicken noodle soup- Because you still love slurping noodles between your lips.

6. Tokyo- Because you like impressing people with your vast skills in the Japanese language, using words like Toyota and Mitsubishi.

7. red wine- Because you don't have to wait for it to be chilled. You can open the bottle and drink it as soon as you get home from 7-11!

8. Harry Potter- Because you didn't name your blog Fond Of Snape for nothing!

9. driving- Because you'd rather scare your friends with your road rage than have them petrify you with theirs.

10. Beatles- Because you love those tiny round spectacles they wore.

11. chips- You never have to guess what's inside in the assorted chocolate boxes.

12. silver- Less pretentious!

13. second husband- The first one was just to have someone who looked good in the pictures. The second one you marry for love.

Happy TT!!

*trying to sound snooty* Well, I certainly hope you preferred The Beatles for goodness sakes!

I finally came up with a TT list...it's terribly overwrought and long winded, but I couldn't help myself. There is at least a video to watch. That's my only consolation...

Candy :dance:

You sure didn't go about making any of them easy, did you?

I can't honestly believe you have a preference of Capt. Jack or Prof. Snape...I think you'd like to interchange them daily, or several times a day, if you had your druthers.

And since I can bear the thought that you might like the HP movies over the LOTR movies I refuse to even answer! ;)

First husband and cheddar cheese. Chocolate and gold.

My TT is up.

I'm not even going to try and guess because I have no idea, but what a neat idea! Happy TT!

I REALLY hope you prefer hubby #2 to #1... that's one you wouldn't be able to fix.

As to the rest, I'm not sure. Maybe Sparrow over Snape 'cause Sparrow would be better if he had to take over husbandly duties. Snape's just too cold to pull that off the right way...

Happy TT my friend!

bleu cheese & pears
dill pickles
jack sparrow

chicken noodle soup
paris

chocolate
silver
1st husband

House in the country... I've always wanted to get an old farmhouse and fix it up. Thanks for dropping by mine :)

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples?
Cheddar chese and apples. Pears go with dark chocolate and almonds, not cheese.

2. sweet pickles or sour pickles?
Sour. They're more aerodynamic, and leave behind a more distinct signature when used to pelt one's enemies.

3. Professor Snape or Captain Jack Sparrow?
Captain Jack. He's got a bit more savoir-faire. And he's probably a better shot with a sour pickle.

4. house in the country or house in the city?
House in the city. You're hidden amongst a crowd - it's less easy for your enemy to plan their sneak attacks.

5. pea soup or chicken noodle soup?
For eating, or for projectile vomiting?

6. Paris or Tokyo?
Paris in the fall and winter, with all kinds of good bookshops about; Tokyo in the spring, for the cherry blossoms.

7. red wine or white wine?
Which one has caffeine?

8. Harry Potter or LOTR (movies)?
LOTR (and the Very Secret Diaries, natch)

9. driving or being chauffeured?
Driving. The chauffer can always be bribed, and is therefore a danger.

10. Zeppelin or the Beatles?
Um...Azam Ali?

11. chips or chocolate?
Chocolate. You can make chocolate chips from a slab of chocolate with the subtle application of the counters'-edge or a hammer.

12. silver or gold?
Gold. The orcses won't be bought off with silver. Elitist bastiges.

13. first husband or second husband?
Both can be used for practice. And then, if things go too wrong, for target practice (with the aforementioned sour pickles.)

1. bleu cheese & pears or cheddar cheese & apples? bleu cheese & pears.
2. sweet pickles or sour pickles? Sour!
3. Professor Snape or Captain Jack Sparrow? Tough call, but Snape.
4. house in the country or house in the city? Country.
5. pea soup or chicken noodle soup? Pea soup?
6. Paris or Tokyo? Tokyo.
7. red wine or white wine? Martini.
8. Harry Potter or LOTR (movies)? HP!
9. driving or being chauffeured? Hmm. I'd say driving.
10. Zeppelin or the Beatles? Zeppelin.
11. chips or chocolate? Chocolate.
12. silver or gold? Silver.
13. first husband or second husband? Second?

blue cheese, sweet pickles, Sparrow, country, chicken, Toyko, red, Potter, driving, Zep, gold, 1st.
Do I get a gold star?

1. cheddar cheese & apples (I only like blue cheese with my buffalo chicken wings.

2. sweet pickles - they taste better

3. Captain Jack Sparrow - definately

4. house in the country - as far away from the city as possible as long as UPS delivers.

5. chicken noodle soup - hate peas

6. Paris - for the art/history

7. white wine - a chardenay please

8. Harry Potter or LOTR (movies)? neither

9. being chauffeured - which for the most part already happens (hubby drives everywhere

10. Beatles - better able to sing to.

11. chocolate - no contest

12. gold - looks better on me

13. first husband (or should I say only husband).

I have no idea, but from your header, I would guess you like Harry Potter!
