Preference: tuna casserole or salmon patties?

salmon patties

scallops or shrimp

Shrimp if not dried out. Yum. But scallops also delish

coffe or tea

at home - tea; at restaurant - coffee, so I drink more tea than coffee

ocean or desert ?

ocean! No brainer!

Preference: spring or fall?

Fall

Wood fire or gas?( that is, if you use a fireplace)

no fireplace and wouldn't have one, but I do enjoy an outside firepit with wood

Long, short or medium length hair
