Mornin' all!

Today is forecast to be a mild late-winter day, with a 40% chance of rain here in the Indiana Dunes area. We seem to really have skipped spring at this time, but we'll see what happens!

Sit for a bit, relax, and take a look at today's questions.

Today's Question(s):
My husband (and I've recently found out a friend's 12 year old daughter ) like sweet relish on ice cream. I like mashed potatoes mixed with egg noodles. Have you ever eaten weird food combinations? If so, what have you put together? And did you like it? Any future flavor ideas?


Bonus Question(s):
Could you label a blank formal place setting template?
Spoiler alert, the image has the answers below.

Just for Fun:
Have you ever been to any kind of a reunion; class, family, military, sports, etc.?


Today in History:
Arts/Entertainment: 2012 The world's oldest Charles Dickens film, dating from 1901, featuring a depiction of a Bleak House character, is rediscovered by the British Film Institute
Birthday: 1942 John Cale, Welsh musician
Pop Culture: 2014 The Barbie doll celebrates its 55th anniversary
Science/Technology: 2013 NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft transmits images that for the very first time, allow scientists to create a 3D reconstruction of ancient water channels below the surface of Mars
Sports: 2014 NCAA basketball team Wichita State Shockers wins the Missouri Valley Conference championship undefeated

Today’s Word:
ludic
Pronunciation: (LOO-dik)
Meaning: adjective: Relating to play; playful.
Etymology: From French ludique, from Latin ludere (to play), from ludus (play). Ultimately from Indo-European root leid- (to play), which is also the ancestor of allude, collude, delude, elude, illusion, ludicrous, and Ludo.
Earliest documented use: 1940.

Today is:
Barbie Day
Discover What Your Name Means Day (Wednesday of First Full Week of March)
Fill Our Staplers Day
Get Over It Day
Joe Franklin Day
Panic Day
Registered Dietitian Day

I tried a banana in a peanut butter sandwich some years ago. That's it, I don't like to experiment with stuff I'm digesting.

We skipped winter here.

The only thing I eat that could possibly be considered by some as weird is an avocado sandwich.

If so, what have you put together? And did you like it? Any future flavor ideas? I've mentioned this one a number of times--cut up red vines (red licorice) on hot, buttered popcorn. I was introduced to that combination by a former co-worker and yes, I liked it right away. Still do.

No, since I've never attended any formal dinners.

Just for Fun:
Have you ever been to any kind of a reunion; class, family, military, sports, etc.? Family reunion on the East Coast almost 20 years ago. I met some relatives for the first time there. It was fun!

Happy Hump Day!

Great spring weather here already, so I'm sure yours is on its way!

If so, what have you put
together?
And did you like it?
Any future flavor ideas? I believe I overheard ?some people? talking about mixing up broccoli with chocolate and chocolate with cheese... so maybe a chocolate & cheese broccoli casserole?

If so, what have you put together? And did you like it? Any future flavor ideas? The only thing I can think of is I put peanut butter or salt on my apples. I also like cold milk with hot dogs which is a problem since I've developed an intolerance to lactose as an adult.

I went 6/15; a sorry attempt unless I take into consideration that I've never attended etiquette classes, then I'm mildly impressed with myself



Today is:
Get Over It Day
Panic Day
I find ^this^ very interesting. If I observe one, can I really observe the other?

I was simply too lazy to bring up another tab. I use to keep three tabs up for CD.... I'm too old to deal with that many nowadays. LOL! It is almost my bedtime. Gnite everyone....well give me about 20 minutes.

That's one way to do it, but I've always found it more efficient to just click on the Preview Post option while I'm writing/editing my reply post - then click on any of the links that are included in these QotDs from the preview version since they are clickable from there - then continue on with writing/editing my reply post before submitting.

If putting sauteed mushrooms on fish is weird then I am guilty.

I've never been to anything formal.

I was dragged to my high school 10 year reunion by a then friend and I did not have a good time. I was bored and wanted to leave. Hardly knew anyone and had no interest in those attending. Never went again.

Thanks, PatsCats
Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!
