"Favourite" is a bit strong, but I do enjoy a nice cuppa of Gunpowder Green tea.

TNP has a favourite coffee bean from which he/she brews coffee.

Our current drip-machine brand claims to be 100% Arabica. And during a relatively short period when I bought single cup pads for the Senseo brand of the coffee brewing system from Dutch companies Philips and Douwe Egberts, the three “strengths” I bought (Colombia, Kenya and Brazil, in descending order of potency) are also all Arabica blends. Wiki claims that Arabica leads Robusta by three-to-one in world-wide cultivation. And that Robusta contains 40-50% more caffeine than Arabica. When I consider the “punch” that the Columbian Arabia packed, I definitely do not need a Robusta jolt!

TNP likes to make buckwheat pancakes.

When going outside the apartment, I have hardly ever worn anything but denim pants for quite a while.

TNP owns down jackets.

Yep!

Ummm – I’ve read the Sil several times, but I sometimes get Sil and HoME versions of stories mixed up.

TNP has read “Smith of Wootton Major” by JRRT (his last book to be published during his life-time).

No, it's currently fairly warm where I live. In fact, it'll be summer in a few weeks!

TNP is using an air conditioner or heater.

Air conditioner – no; only have one in our car (and we had the first bit of snowfall today that actually remained visibly on the lawn for a while). Heater – in the sense of central heating, yes.

TNP has a fireplace in which they can burn actual wood.

I wouldn't know what to class as 'fancy food' but if it involves things like paté, lobster etc, then not really!

TNP has started reading a new book recently.

Re-reading an older one, though I do have two new, unread ones lying around ...

TNP occasionally gets books from their local public library.

Almost never. I work at the big book store chain so I just buy them with my discount.

TNP likes Aragorn more than Legolas

I would say that's an accurate prediction, although I like book Legolas more than movie Legolas.

It's the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, sometime in February or March. I don't know the exact date of Mardi Gras this year, and I don't remember the date of Easter to count back from, either.

TNP has made pancakes on Mardi Gras.

Made, very unlikely. But a sort of pastry that is (oddly) referred to as a pancake in some dialects does figure in Tuesday-before-Ash-Wednesday-of-another-name in Germany.

TNP has made buckwheat pancakes irrelevant of the date.

Depends. I enjoyed LotRO back before they condensed the servers. I enjoyed my kinship on the Nimrodel server but when they condensed, I happen to have been busy with school so I came back to be forced to join a new server (ended up picking Brandywine) but I lost contact with all my friends. So now I don't play too much.

The other one would be ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) which I've been holding off on. I LOVE the Elder Scrolls, but I prefer the single player aspect of the main games, as I do with most video games. Plus it's Pay-to-Play which I don't have money for. At least LotRO is Pay-to-Win. So you can play and grind everything out without HAVING to pay. Although I ended paying sometimes. Another reason I had to stop.

TNP knows the difference between an FPS and an RPG

Definitely not. I don't think it's ever snowed where I live.

TNP will soon be buying a Christmas tree.

We use the same artificial tree, and have for 10+ years so buying? No. But putting it up in about a week, right after the United States' Thanksgiving.
