Oo, that's tough. I like both, really. Probably give a slight edge to lobster but it also depends where I am. On my first trip to China to visit/meet my in-laws I swear I had at least half a dozen different varieties of crab. But when my wife lived in Halifax, a walk to a seafood market to get fresh lobster was the thing (though she always mixed up a Chinese crab dip for it).

Watch the movie first or read the novel first?

Yes.😋

Okay, if pressed, Indy is my favourite of the two but I like both and Harrison Ford in general.

Star Wars or Star Trek?

Used to be sci fi but not so sure anymore. Don't read much historical and when I do, it's usually borderline fantasy.

Iced tea sweet or not?

Bowl. I like ice cream in any form but the stick stuff gets messy.

Read a novel or a short story anthology?

Depends what I am learning. If it is a subject requiring a lot of interaction, like a philosophy seminar or class, still think a classroom works best. If it is straight-up learning a skill or something, then virtual or even self-study (I got my MS certification by self-study, for instance).

Host a party or be a guest at a party?

Hosting a party is more work that most people think it is. Plus you have an obligation to see it through regardless. Attendance requires your presence, but how long is up to you. So attend; easier to extricate yourself if the party begins to sour.

Skiing the Austrian Alps or the Colorado Rockies?

Well, I don't ski, but if I did, I could be happy with either. I've hiked the Colorado Rockies and visited the Alps, albeit on the Swiss side. Probably Colorado, though, if it was just for skiing. Closer to home.

Bake a dessert or buy one at a good bakery?

Broccoli in a pinch, but both are good. My wife does an amazing stir fry with cauliflower and either white or shitake mushrooms.

Cooked veggies or a salad?

Lately, I have been making a lot of roasted vegetables on the grill. I appreciate a good salad, too, but for now, it's roasted veggies for me.

Roasted beets or pickled beets in a jar?

Corn on the cob

Lobster or Lobster Salad sandwich?

I like both but pork does have a bit more flavour, I find.

Card game or board game for a lazy summer afternoon?

Canoeing

Concert at a big venue (arena, stadium, festival) or a smaller, more intimate setting?

cold and blustery.

hamburgers or hot dogs?

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

quiet, serene beach on a lake

This one for sure. I like just laying on a beach chair with a book and/or music and that works much better when I have some space and less noise.

Sedan or SUV?

Depends on trip and destination. For just scenic driving, a sedan is much more comfortable. But if you're getting off the road, or off improved highways, then an SUV. Same for camping or similar. SUV. But generally, sedan is much more comfortable and you can enjoy the trip better and longer.

Ice cream in a cone or in a bowl?

Bowl. I tend to drop cones.

Plain ice cream or make a sundae?
