Food Fight Friday

Like a shameless hussy, I stole this from J while she was on vacation.

How do you like your eggs?

Scrambled, well done. Any other way makes me want to hurl.

How do you take your coffee/tea?

I take my tea like a real woman, no sugar, no lemon, no nothing. Coffee, I don't drink.

Favorite breakfast food:

French toast or German pancakes with some eggs on the side. Yum.

Peanut butter:

Extra chunky. I have been sacrificing and doing smooth lately since they don't seem to make organic chunky that I can find.

What kind of dressing on your salad?

Balsamic vinegarette or if I'm feeling daring, French.

Coke or Pepsi?

Coke, preferably Diet Caffeiene Free.

You’re feeling lazy. What do you make?

Well, if I'm feeling lazy, I will make nothing. What I will do is order Hubba-hubba to make me something. Pronto.

You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?

Ok, well if Hubba-hubba isn't around, then my favorite pizza is margherita.

You feel like cooking. What do you make?

Some type of seared steak, homemade macaroni and cheese, or my scones.

Do any foods bring back good memories?

My grandfather used to make the most delectable German pancakes, and my grandmother made the best strudel ever, as well as this killer seven layer cake. My other grandmother used to make lamb and polenta, as well as these Pritikin bread, cheese and tomato sandwiches for me when I got home from school.

Do any foods bring back bad memories?

El Pollo Loco. As much as I would like to eat it, it never agrees with me.

Do any foods remind you of someone?

I always think of Hubba-hubba when I see lasagna. It's his favorite.

Is there a food you refuse to eat?

I will not eat liver or any "wild" meat.

What was your favorite food as a child?

Twinkies. I haven't had a twinkie in over a decade.

Is there a food that you hated as a child but now love?

Asparagus, but only grilled.

Is there a food that you loved as a child but now hate?

Pickles and ham. I won't eat either of them any more under any circumstances.

Favorite fruit & vegetable:

Definitely watermelon and I'm going to say carrots. Corn comes in at a close second.

Favorite junk food:

BBQ potato chips, although I try to stick to the healthy kind when I indulge.

Favorite between meal snack:

Whatever is handy. Lately it has been these granola bars that I really shouldn't be having. They don't have chocolate or anything, but they're still not that great.

Do you have any weird food habits?

I do not like to mix my food on my plate. Only things that are supposed to have sauce or gravy on them will be tolerated. If the gravy touches my carrots, I ain't eating 'em.

You’re on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on?

Huh, what's a diet?

You’re off your diet. Now what would you like?

A nice big steak and some french fries. Oh, and throw in a milkshake for good measure.

How spicy do you order Indian/Thai?

As mild as I can get it, I am not a spicy food person.

Can I get you a drink?

Yes, please. Something fruity with rum will do nicely.

Red wine or white?

I have developed a taste for reds over white.

Favorite dessert?

Hot fudge sundae, or French apple pie a la mode. Depends on if I'm PMS'ing.

The perfect nightcap?

Hot chocolate in the winter, caffeiene free tea in the summer.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
