What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
I am not a fan at all of pickles on my sandwich or burger. Yet, I actually do like pickle spears by themselves. Oddly enough I find if you take the same pickle spear flavor and cut it round like the pickles you put on a sandwich - yarf!
ReplyDeleteBoy, there are a lot that come to mind, which is sad. LOL Topping the list are beets, quinoa, sweet potatoes, capers, olives, grilled fruit, most seafood, and carmelized onions (love them cooked, but once it starts getting into the sweet phase where it's kind of syrupy, I'm out). For whatever reason my taste buds do not like sweet/savory together at all. And funny enough, I cannot stand ketchup on meatloaf -- love hamburgers with ketchup, but when I see meatloaf cooked with that strip of ketchup...blech.
ReplyDeleteI like tomatoes, but they have to be really firm, like a day or two before truly ripe. Once they get soft at all they're only good for salsa or sauce.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is "nothing from the sea" (a quote from a tv show that I pretty much live by) but I think a lot of people don't like seafood.
One really weird thing is that I don't like ketchup on hamburgers, but I do like ketchup with fries/tots.
