Favorites, Part Two!

Subject: Favorites, Part Two!
Continuing the theme of simple questions, my dear friends! But this one is for *research*. You'll see.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
And if ice cream isn't your thing - what is your favorite soda flavor? ^_^

How would you describe those sorts of apples from that garden - tart? Sweet?
no subject
Sweet, with just a hint of tartness to them. Quite unlike any apples grown under the sun, the light of the Two Tree's gave them... a quality all their own. Nothing else quite compares.
no subject
This is a land of dreams, my dear. Perhaps, perhaps, you can find an apple somewhere here that matches your memory? It would be a hint of home if you're yearning for it.
no subject
You think so? I... I would be lying if I said I would not wish to. To have some small reminder of better days long gone by. It would be a wonderful thing indeed. Those apples hold many fond memories for me, though they seem such a small thing.
no subject
Otherwise - I think a wish at the well might be able to get you a few apples, or I would rather suggest, some young trees.
If you can plant such apple trees here ...
no subject
A few saplings to tend to would be nice, even though the quality of the light to nurish them are not the same.
I don't think it's impossible, though they might not end up tasting exactly the same. But still, to have one of those tree's here...
no subject
The quality of light ... I'm only an amateur botanist at best, my dear friend, so perhaps you could explain? I know some flowers fare better in shade vs in full sunlight and so on, but ...?
no subject
I'm not much of a botanist either, but I do know a thing or two. But what I mean is that... the sun is a relatively new thing in my world. Before Laurelin and Telperion was what gave us light, the Two Tree's of Yavanna. Their light was... much greater, if not as wide reaching.
no subject
I'll admit I'm entirely unfamiliar with your reality, my dear friend, so thank you for explaining it so patiently. So this tree would be used to a more ... intense light, shall we say?
(I'm going to get in over my head if I asked about 'color temperature' or 'spectrum of light' that it emits, because I'm just parroting what I've heard instead of understanding what I'm asking, orz)
no subject
You wouldn't be, I'm the only one here from my world and I'm a fairly recent addition here. Yes, more intense and... purer, perhaps would be the right word. It is hard to explain to someone who has not seen that light for themselves.
I'm unfortunately not the most scholarly of my brothers, or at least not when it comes to subjects such as these, but my father studied that light rather intensly for most of his life. So you might say I picked up a thing or two simply from hearing him grumble about it during dinner.
no subject
And yet, even if I saw it, I probably wouldn't be able to describe what I'm seeing, either - so I do sympathize.
I just chuckled at my journal, reading your comment. Trust me. I relate. Though, for me, it's the friends I've made who've exposed me to science that's WAY above my head. ^^;;
no subject
No, likely not. There really isn't anything I have seen in my world or this one that would work as a parallel, and it's effects on the body and soul is also a facet to consider about it.
It has made me a bit of a jack-of-all-trade's in a way. My entire family are experts in their respective fields so I've had to pick up knowledge of all of them simply to be able to encourage their interests when they were growing up. Though I still find myself a bit lost when the conversation moves to more intricate knowledge. But, I think they themselves feel the same when I speak of the finer points of diplomacy... their eyes do tend to glaze over a bit when I do.
no subject
That sounds a bit like you're the eldest, then, of a very large brood. Do I guess correctly? I am an only child myself so that *is* a guess. But as a diplomat, I can understand that our art is difficult to truly convey to the uninterested :D
no subject
The oldest of seven brothers, and a horde of cousins besides, I'm told it shows rather obviously. Most of my people are the only child of their parents, my grandfathers line... showed more prolific than most of our kin. Truer words have never been spoken, and my brothers are too quarrelsome to be even remotely interested in the topic. More interested in starting fights than to resolve them without someones nose being broken.
no subject
It's much more agreeable to try and talk things out so no one (me) gets hurt, wouldn't you agree?
no subject
It is, especially when you need more allies than enemies.
no subject
I can't very well imagine a sane person thinking enemies give them an advantage.
no subject
I never claimed they were sane now, did I? Though mostly it was a matter of overinflated pride and a careless attitude... they never truly thought things through before acting most of them.
no subject
Still, it's an interesting contrast - I know a few hot-headed scholars, but they tend not to be the norm. Or is that my own experiences giving me that bias? Knowing nerds who overthink things?
no subject
Too much fire in our souls, I'm afraid, for it not to affect our tempers. It's completely my fathers fault, just so you know, my mother was an infinitely sensible and reasonable person. She wasn't called Nerdanel the wise for nothing.
