Now, weren't those recipes great! Do give them a shot guys! Okay, so we are here with the lovely Mimi, a fellow Crazy Creative (mimi0295) for a one on one interview on her favorites of the summer when it comes to food! 😊
Hinna says: Welcome Mimi! So without further ado, lets just jump into the first question I have for you today! What's your favorite food to cool down with in the summer?
Mimi says: Hi! Oh! I don't have to think about that one! My favorite cool down food, or should I say beverage has to be Tim Horton's Ice Caps! Those things are my LIFE.
Hinna says: Oh! Hear that readers? Tim Horton's Ice Caps! Sounds delicious Mimi! Alright next question! Do you believe that the best choice to stay cool is water? Is it an over-rated or "never will get old" trick?
Mimi says: It's definitely not an over-rated trick; at least, it's not in my eyes. Water was, is, and will always be the best way to stay cool! I mean, what can you lose? It's HEALTHY and refreshing! It's the best way to stay hydrated! 😃
Hinna says: Touche! Fully agree! 😉
Mimi says: Thank you ji 😃
Hinna says: No problem ji! Lol! So, onto the next one? Now, we in general tend to hang out with our families a lot in the summer. We make a lot of "family" time. So in these family get together's, have you encountered any family recipe that you tend to chow down on over the summer? Something that your family always has in the summer?
Mimi says: Ah, I thought you'd never ask! Since my family is scattered all over the universe (literally) we hardly ever have family reunions, but whenever we do, we make the best of it. Now, let me tell you this: The kids in my family are probably the worst bunch of cooks ever! What we did this one time was take a whole bunch of freezies (the jumbo ones) got them to melt, and added Sprite and Gingerale inside. I know it sounds gross, but it was actually really good! We always remember that day, and have our "Freeze Sodas" on reunions!
Hinna says: OMG! What an awful sounding desert! But, not going to lie! It is something I will definitely try!!! I'm interested! Readers: Mark that one down! Thanks for sharing that hun! 👍🏼
Mimi says: Aww, do try it and let me know what you all think!
Hinna says: Of course! Now, next. Is your family into the whole BBQ thing? I mean, cookouts and what not? Would you say it's a great way to bond over food?
Mimi says: *laughs for five minutes* Well my parents are more on the "let's just stay inside" type of people. I, on the other hand LOVE BBQ's! Yes, I think that it's an AMAZING way to not only bond over food, but to bond with your family and friends. I love BBQ's like anything, and it's sad that I hardly ever get invited to them! Maybe you'll invite me to one sometime soon! LOL! 😆
Hinna says: Most definitely Mimi! Great answer by the way! Wow! You really are on a roll with these!
Mimi says: LOL! Oh, I'm pumped! 😆
Hinna says: Okay so now it's good that you are pumped! Because I am going to introduce the quick rapid fire round now!
Mimi says: OH WOW! 😲
Hinna says: Its called, "Food for Thought"
Mimi says: haha, okay! 😉
Hinna says: Fire or Ice?
Mimi says: Ice
Hinna says: That was a joke / test question Mimi!
Mimi says: LOL! Okay, NOW I'm ready! 😆
Hinna says: Alright so on serious notes! Coffee or Tea in the summer?
Mimi says: Coffee

Hinna says: Water or juice?
Mimi says: Water! Hands down
Hinna says: Good choice! Alright a nice home made meal or eat out for the summer days and evenings?
Mimi says: Hmm, eat out [not healthy, but oh well]
Hinna says: Oh! A rebel! Lol! 😆
Mimi says: Haha!
Hinna says: How about, eating healthy in the summer or being an all out junkie?
Mimi says: That's a tough one yaar! I'm a total junkie, but I'd like to eat healthy!
Hinna says: There you go! That's how it is! Okay next! Cappuccino or Frappuccino? LMAO! Come on! Crazies or Fatima? Haha! Just kidding! 🤣
Mimi says: LOL! Well, I'm sure this one's a shocker: Cappuccino LOL Fatima! haha! No I'm joking! Lol! I love all you Crazies! Fatima and all! 😳
Hinna says: VERY GOOD answer! 👏 Haha! Well okay! We had a nice fun time on this chat segment! It was great interviewing you Mimi! Wonderful thoughts on summer foods!
