1. Do you like chili? Red or white? Beans or no beans? Spice or no spice? Toppings?
I make an awesome chili. Red beans, hamburger and just the right blend of spices. Do I like chili? Not really, but I love to make it.
2. Red~Orange~Gold…your favorite fall color?
Around here the leaves turn almost a coral color red and that is my favorite fall color.
3. Who did you idolize when you were growing up?
I loved Karen Carpenter. I loved her voice and how easy she made it look to sing such sad love songs.
4. When was the last time you did something ‘arts and craftsy’? Share please.
My sister is the talented one in the family. I don’t really do crafts anymore. The inventiveness I have seems to be with my cooking and writing.
5. What’s a place that makes you really nervous?
Any crowded gathering. I do not do well in crowds. They quite literally terrify me and I get so nervous and remain alert and stiff. Last time I traveled without Hubby I remained on the cell phone with him until they closed the door of the plane and we started to taxi. I’ve only been to one concert, as it was nearly impossible for me to be in that kind of crowd. I chalk it up to the fact that I was crushed in a car once for about 45 minutes, under a truck. I guess that’ll do it to you.
6. Horse back riding…yay or nay (neigh?)
I have ridden, but it has been may years. I love horses though, and think they are extremely smart.
7. What is your favorite cliche?
“Sometimes chickens, sometimes feathers” It sort of means sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don’t. Like last night I made a shrimp stir fry and everything said that it should have been delicious, but it was terrible. So I told Hubby, “Sometimes chickens, sometimes feathers”.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Do you ever have nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner? That’s me, tonight. It has to be something easy, because I won’t get in until 6 PM and I need to eat quickly, so I won’t weigh in heavy at Weight Watchers. Maybe I’ll cook a steak and potato and some broccoli.
I have many nights where I have no idea what to cook : ) Cooking for two is tricky I think plus I really get in a rut with my menu planning. And we try to eat low carb at dinner so that limits the choices. Try googling quick and delicious dinner ideas…maybe you’ll get lucky : )
My favorite color of the fall is yellow. My favorite color of all is yellow. But orange is second.
I am working on knitting another scarf, but mostly working on my secret project right now.
I like chili, but not that much and no one else likes it so I don’t bother making it.
Have a good day. Love YOU, Mel
Chili con carne is Mr. G’s favorite plate ! and I did some for tonight ! what a coincidence !
I’m making pumpkin chili for dinner tonight 🙂 Dave thinks I’m making some chicken sausage we bought the other day. Hope he likes it!
Also, I remember the poster of Karen Carpenter you had on your bedroom wall 🙂
I have never ever heard that cliche.
My solution is that I don’t cook!
