What I'm Reading This Week #20
Howdy do punkin' poos? I hope you had a delightful week of blissful productivity at work (aka hanging on by the frays of your well bitten fingernails whilst saying you need to win the lottery but never actually playing.) A birthday shout out to my grandma. You know, even though she would've been 86, and I know the probability is she would be gone now, it still doesn't stop me wondering how long she would've made it if dementia hadn't reared up. I could really use one of her hugs or her hands cupping my face with that ornery little grin saying I was her first grandbaby. Happy birthday grandma. I hope you and mom have a big euchre game going on tonight. We've been slowly integrating back into walking this week as the Mr could handle. Last night he was able to do two laps without having to stop to stretch so that is good news.

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.
