What Makes Trix Tick?


I am super-excited (not to mention extremely flattered) to be this week's subject for Refrigerator Soup's "20 Questions With Our Favorite Food Bloggers" feature. After all these years as a writer/journalist, it was definitely a new experience to be the one answering, rather than asking, the questions. Here's a tiny little taste of the interview:

Refrigerator Soup: Do you watch a lot of cooking shows on TV?

Trix:  ... because I love nothing more than a hot mess, I do like to catch re-runs of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. The food is just so appalling and hilarious, I can’t get enough – I especially love how excited she gets for cocktail time.

That's all you get! If you want to read the rest, please head on over to Refrigerator Soup and check it out. You'll learn the answers to such burning questions as: If I were a food, what would I be? Who are my culinary heroes? What superpower would I most like to have?

... And much, much, more!

Thanks so much to the crew at Refrigerator Soup - I had a great time doing it.  I hope you all enjoy reading it, and if you get a chance stop back and let me know what you think.

  5. Congratulations on the 20 questions! I appreciate your view on Sandra Lee... I usually get angry and turn her off, but now I think I am going to tune in and compare the "wet" episode to the "dry". One of my Food Network fav.'s is Giada, the skinny chick that over emphasizes any word derived from Italian.

  13. Hey trix!

    I did not know you were a journalist/ writer. Something I dearly aspire to be! and second you have a rebel XT. I have an xsi. The review was great and I must say I agree with the intro. Also you should put up that dish you were having the day your husband encouraged you to be a blogger. It sounded awesome :)

  22. Congratulations Trix! Thanks also for mentioning my blog!
    I read your interview and was struck by your honesty and wit. Enjoyed finding out more tit bits too, like the fact that your hubby is the one who spurred you to start your blog and he helps out with your photos! I agree totally with you on the foods to be banned. All in all, this interview reminded me of what a unique and original blog and person you are!
