Q & A time!

You asked, so now I've answered!

1. What kind of fruits do you enjoy?

On the top of my list are: Grapes, mangos, oranges, grapefruit, watermelon and strawberries.


2. You guys went to Mackinac Island? How did you like it?

We found that Mackinac Island got a bit “claustrophobic” after staying there for a couple days. With no cars, things can tend to be a hassle. The shops are very “touristy” and after awhile they definitely all begin looking the same. On a positive note, it is very beautiful and historic. Personally, I would recommend staying in the city and taking a ferry over to spend a day on the Island. My favorite part of our stay was when we started walking “off the beaten path”, hiked up to Arch Rock, and enjoyed the woods and views. If you’re a biker, it would be great to bike the trails and around the Island, in which case you might enjoy staying there. All personal opinion, I guess.

3.  How do you like the cookbook and is there some great stuff in there?

PW’s cookbook is beautifully laid out, and I do enjoy trying her creations. May of her recipes aren’t “wow” recipes, but they’re fun to try anyway. Her “Crash Potatoes” are amazing though, and that recipe can be found on her website.


4. What are your favorite Green Monster combinations?

So far we’ve been sticking with Blueberry Banana, but soon I would like to venture out and try Cantaloupe and perhaps a few other varieties. Once summer comes there will be many other fruits to choose from. I like to add a dash of Vanilla for extra flavor and I usually some ground flax or hemp seed for extra nutrition.



5. I've always wondered about how you chose Bibelot as your title. I know the definition is up and all, but what is the story behind using it?

Honestly, I can’t remember how the whole thing came to be. I do remember always using the word with my friend, and she even wrote it out and used it on the tag of a gift she gave me. I guess it sums up a lot of things in my life: small, often useless, but special and beautiful to me.



6. How is Yogi tea?

Not worth the money in my opinion! I purchased mine on sale, and was glad later that I didn’t pay full price. If I’m going to splurge on tea, “Tazo” Passion or Orange would definitely be my favorite.


7. Whats your favorite place to get coffee in town?

That’s a tough one. Biggby is my old stand by, Starbucks is, well…Starbucks, and Waterstreet Coffee Joint is expensive but has a wonderful ambiance. I guess I can’t pick a favorite – it depends on the day and my mood!

That’s all for now, but there will be a continuation post coming sometime in the future.
