Peekaru, I don't quite know what I'm looking at in this gif, but I'm pretty sure I need it in my life.

1) If I'm really feeling fancy, I make lamb.  2) I love love love Isabetta, alas, I am not any part Italian. 3) De beers 4) I gave up coffee ( I did not give up tea) 5) I would marry a warm baguette if it were an option |

1) Hmm I make a really great seafood spread - mussels in wine sauce, lobster tail and garlic butter, seared scallops. These are my favourites lol. 2) Eloise and Eleanor. Love love love. DH didn't agree so they were out the window. Also loved Anais but we are in the wrong part of the world for people to ever get it right. 3) Hmmm. P&G's olympic parent commercials always get me (and everyone else) 4) I gave up lent for lent  So nope. 5) So much. More if it has garlic on it. |

1) What is the fanciest meal that you make? I don't do much "fancy" cooking these days...I will tell you about my "world's greatest pancake" recipe though, or so DH says. It is a blueberry pancake recipe but there's walnuts, oatmeal and all kinds of good stuff in the batter.
2)What baby name do you LOVE, but would never use? Lots! I think Maritza is really pretty, for example. My family is pretty country though so names like that would be tough to pull off.
ETA: Maeve!
3) What marketing campaign is the most effective in your mind? These are hard questions! Apple, maybe?
4) Did you give up something for lent? I didn't give anything up but I'm making weekly donations...money or goods b/c with a 6 week old I don't have time to give right now!
5) How much do you love bread? LOVE it. My fave summer dinner is fresh bruschetta with a big old baguette. Crab soup in a bread bowl? Yes please. Just some of my favorite meals that focus on bread.

1)What is the fanciest meal that you make? I don’t think of my food as fancy, but anything can be fancy if you present it that way. I do try to make everything look pretty. I make risotto pretty regularly, which is simple but can feel fanceh. 2)What baby name do you LOVE, but would never use? Marigold. But a Marigold and a Poppy would be a little OTT. Are we parents or gardeners? I also love Calliope, but similarly, a Penelope and a Calliope feels like too much. 3) What marketing campaign is the most effective in your mind? Hmm. This is very NYC specific, and I don’t know how effective they actually are, but I love the Manhattan Mini Storage ads. They’re funny and often a little political. And everyone here needs more space. 4) Did you give up something for lent? Nope. 5) How much do you love bread?  |

1) What is the fanciest meal that you make? I love cooking. I've done shrimp and lobster in a garlic butter sauce with sauteed crab cakes and a side of asparagus. But i do whole turkeys with an entire spread from apps to desert too. 2)What baby name do you LOVE, but would never use? Do you all know my last name? If you don't this won't make sense, but if you do say the names together as a whole name. I wanted to name C one of these but you will see why I couldn't - Parker. Bentley. Ryder. 3) What marketing campaign is the most effective in your mind? Folgers at the holidays when the big brother is coming home to surprise them and see's the little sister or brother first - i cry every time. And publix holiday commercials too. 4) Did you give up something for lent? Yes I did. I don't eat meat on Fridays. And I gave up swearing. i swear a lot, under my breath, in my head, out loud. i have stopped all of it. 5) How much do you love bread? love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.love.  |

It's Ah-nah-ees but I didn't feel like saying that on repeat for the next 25 years |

Bread lovers, does anyone follow breadfaceblog on IG? www.instagram.com/breadfaceblogIt’s weird short videos of a woman rubbing her face on bread products. I find it both hilarious and hard to stop watching. |

coconutbacon, is that one of those fetishes, like the videos of Asian women eating noodles? Or just something weird? I'm guessing it's the latter.

Her tag line is “giving the people what they didn’t ask for.” It’s mostly just weird and there’s some asmr stuff too. ETA: all completely safe for work. Just check it out. |

1) What is the fanciest meal that you make? From scratch chicken marsala ravioli, with Caesar salad and homemade baguette. That doesn't happen super often though, due to time.
2)What baby name do you LOVE, but would never use? I love the names Calliope and Leonidas, but would never be able to use them IRL.
3) What marketing campaign is the most effective in your mind?
4) Did you give up something for lent? No
5) How much do you love bread? So, so much.

I got distracted by the bread gifs and forgot to answer the questions yesterday, and now that I've spiraled on that IG account...I'm not sure how I feel.
1) What is the fanciest meal that you make? I don't think I make any fancy meals as a whole. I do make a pretty good creme brulee (and I feel fancy when I torch the sugar), if that counts.
2)What baby name do you LOVE, but would never use? Dominic.
3) What marketing campaign is the most effective in your mind? Geico - anyone remember the "wehadababyitsaboy" commercial from the late '90s? So clever.
4) Did you give up something for lent? No
5) How much do you love bread? Muchly
