Ask An Author 3.0 #22

Another month has come and gone. Over here in Kentucky, we're actually getting some autumn weather for once. I'm used to going from intense heat to severe cold within a week. No need to immediately break out the heavy coats. However, I am getting used to coming up with innovative ways to freshen up Ask An Author. No questions came in this past month, so we're switching things up. 

We're going back to interactive. When we didn't have questions last time, our authors and readers asked and answered a chain of questions with each other. It got a bit chaotic, and as much as I revel in it, let's keep it nice and simple. I'm giving y'all five easy questions, and everyone is welcome to answer them. 

  1. How do you like your eggs? Scrambled? Over-medium?
  2. What is your favorite story on Gay Authors, and why?
  3. What brought you to GA?
  4. If your life was a book, what would be the title?
  5. What is your favorite soup?

See? Pretty easy to come up with questions. How about we work on getting 10 responses down in this month's AAA comment section?

Okay, y'all. In two days, I'll be the resident birthday boy, and I got a short wish list. Aaron wants several sets of three questions. Anyone can ask them, and they can be for any author's story. I'll take anything at this point, people. You don't want to disappoint the birthday boy, now do ya?

I'm working on a story set in Rhode Island. Somehow, I missed the chance to serve Oregon Chowder at the clam bake. As a good South Floridian, I'll stick to conch.

Rhode Island? You do realize that a 15 minute drive in any direction has you in MA, CT or the Atlantic?

I know, right? Like what kind of dolt would serve anything but New England clam chowder there. I'm quite surprised at her not being familiar with red chowders. But then again, what would one expect from a member of the  Birkenstock Brigade?

I don't want to be the one to call it out, but I see a little discrimination here. All this talk of "New England Clam Chowder". What about West Coast clam chowder? It's delicious, too.

The only true clam chowdah is from New England.   Manhattan is also excluded so no discrimination there :P

That was my thought, but who knows? Could be a revelation. :unsure: 

It's good, but not as good as New England.

Damn right. And it better be loaded with clams and served with oyster crackers and not saltines! 

Spoiler

Even though they're the same thing. Just a different shape. Lol

Trendy in the 80s, creamy chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl was really good. You ate the soup and the container. I remember a restaurant in Miami that had bread flown in from San Francisco.

Being stuck in the middle of the Canadian prairies, I do remember Campbell's used to have both New England and Manhattan Clam Chowder. I know it is canned, but hey there wasn't a lot of Deli's or places to get soup other than in a can. I liked the Manhattan, but liked the New England more. 

With all this talk of discrimination and what is better, I see that their is a new chowder on the market (may be old :unsure:), Seafood Chowder. No place attached to it :P I kind of like it better as you get in a whole bunch of different seafood in it. Think first time I had it was on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC.

After a google search, it appears that Nova Scotia is trying to put their name before it :P @Headstall, do you want to contest this with your neighbours to the east :fight:

PNW Dib! I mean, the first time you ever had it was on the west coast in BC. So it's only fair.

Eggs - Poached, Scrambled, Fried (must be runny), love a good omelette 

I can't pick a favourite, there's to many good ones.

I think it was Google that brought me here.

I'm with you!  Razorback clams are much better than cherrystone clams.  It's the clams that make the difference!

1.  Scrambled.  I tend to go beyond what normal people call "scrambled" in that I keep them in the pan until they're a little brown.  It's just how I was raised, I think.  I also pair them with Sausage patties that I practically burn.

2. "Tuesday Staff Meetings" by @Thirdly

3. I read "Gordy Comes Home" on another website and it affected me for days and I ended up writing the author @sojourn who sent me a link to his stories here.

4. "You Can't Make This Shit Up."

5. I'd have to go with french onion soup.  I know, I know.  I'm not generally a soup person but you put me in a corner on this one.
