The Unwanted Wedding

I keep getting these consumer survey emails, which I generally ignore. The latest one asks:

When it comes to Christmas season entertaining, which is your favourite cheese brand?

What a lot of assumptions packed into that question. That I entertain, that I entertain at Christmas, that I entertain at Christmas with cheese, that I entertain at Christmas with only one cheese, that I entertain at Christmas with only one cheese that comes from a single, preferred brand. That was too much thinking for me, so I deleted it. But this year, you're all invited to my one-cheese Christmas party.

Here is a book meme stolen from catyah: The rules are: using only books you have read in the last year, answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title.

Describe yourself: The Manticore - Robertson Davies
How do you feel: Fever - Mary Beth Keane
Describe where you currently live: Cold Shoulder Road - Joan Aiken
If you could go anywhere, where would you go: Tiny Islands - Dixe Wills
Your favorite form of transportation: Black Ships Before Troy - Rosemary Sutcliff
Your best friend is: The Chieftain without a Heart - Barbara Cartland
You and your friends are: The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton
What’s the weather like: The Snow Child - Eowyn Ivey
You fear: The Monster in the Box - Ruth Rendell
What is the best advice you have to give: Hamlet, Revenge! - Michael Innes
Thought for the day: Show Me the Numbers - Stephen Few
My soul’s present condition: In Search of a Homeland - Penelope Lively

I read a book called Cake last year and I was tempted to copy and paste that all the way down. Describe yourself: Cake. Your best friend is: Cake. What is the best advice you have to give: Cake. It's the answer to everything: Cake.
