Do you ever use watermelon in recipes or just eat it straight? I just ate it straight. Watermelon is not real high on my list of favorite foods.
Ever salt the watermelon? I have tried it. Even though I really like salt, I do not care for it on watermelon.
Just for fun: Did you ever fall asleep in school? I have not.
If so, did you get caught? When I was in college I remember waiting in the hall for a class to let out as I had a class in there the next hour. Just before the bell rang the instructor came out and motioned for us to be quite. Then his students quitely walked out of the classroom. When I walked in the classroom there was a student sound asleep. It was probably ten minutes into my class before he woke up. He looked rather confused as there was a different teacher and different students. At first he tried to blend in but when he realised everyone was looking at him, he ran out of the room.
Today's Question: Who are your favorite rock and roll musicians or bands?
Favorite? I love music, listening more to jazz & classical than rock. My dad wouldn't let us listen to rock..... called it "racket."
I will have to say the first band/musicians that came into my head were Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Janis.....
Oh, also love BLUES...... Listening to BB King as I get ready for school today.
