If you were Santa Claus, what food (and drink) would you want kids to leave for you on Christmas Eve?
Stimulate conversation around your dinner table with some creative questions! My daughters always enjoy it when we pull out a pile of questions to ask and answer. We may draw a single question and each reply, or have someone draw a question and query whomever he or she chooses. This has been particularly meaningful at holiday time as extended family members and friends gather around the table.
I’ve used a number of sources for stimulating questions, and one of my favorites is a book entitled
KidChat by Bret Nicholaus and Paul Lowrie (The Question Guys™). I started recording and dating the answers in the book because they were so creative! My daughters thoroughly enjoy it and now there are notations where the girls, and their friends, have answered questions. It reads like a timeline of their thoughts.
Here are some sample questions:
If just one time snow could fall in a color other than white, what color would you want it to be?
If you could have 50 pounds of anything you wanted this Christmas, what would you choose?
If you knew that beginning tomorrow you would be blind for one full year, what would you want to be sure to see today while you still had time?
If you could choose any person’s face to appear on a new dollar bill, what person’s face would you choose? (Ashley answered, “Mine!”)
Other than either of your parents, who is one adult that you really have a lot of fun with? Why?
And the list goes on and on. We appreciate this book so much we decided to make it available on our website. They also have a Christmas-themed KidChat—perfect for holiday gift-giving as well as a source for stimulating conversation starters for your own holiday table.
Want to make your Cooking Among Friends® entrées extra-special? Dazzle your cooking club members by adhering a thought-provoking question to your entrées. Not only will they have a fabulous meal, but a terrific conversation starter to stimulate imaginations.

I had great Christmases when I was a kid. But I became estranged from my family years ago and have isolated myself from the world. I never got married, never had kids, never traveled, never lived. Now, on the eve of this most wonderful of holidays I am sitting in this dark room by myself just like every other day and will have no celebration.

If I would knew that beginning tomorrow I would be blind for one full year, what would I want to be sure to see today while I still had time? I think the sun I would want to see, it’s the best friend for anyone and a must see everyday if possible.

I am deep frying a serving of fries and chicken and wondered how much of the cooking oil is actually in the cooked food. I am using Canola oil and after the food is cooked and drained I am thinking that there isn’t much oil left in the food.

What can I make with cooking apples?
I just went to the farmer’s market for some produce. I bought some cooking apples, not even realizing they were cooking kind. Just thought they were another variety to eat raw. I have never used cooking apples, and I’m not even that big a fan of cooked apples.

People who like to travel from city to rural areas can rely on this vehicle. In the place of the mini vans, the SUV will be more comfortable. The furniture, large amount of groceries and many other things can be transported in a SUV. There must be large rooms for these vehicles for keeping them.

Cooking fish is perhaps one of my favorite things to do. As a chef, with around 20 years of experience in the seafood restaurant business, I have had the luck to work with hundreds of varieties of, and many many different ways of preparing fish.

Sometimes people stop to think for the right opportunities. It may sound as an ideal practice, however, never drag an opportunity for too long. Indeed market conditions influence the new car loan interest rates, however it not ideal to hold your sit tight, especially when the rates are fluctuating.

A Cash ISA is the safest investment route to take, and particularly makes sense if you’re new to the game. Stocks and Shares ISA’s are both more complex and riskier; you will need to keep a careful eye on the stock market.
