Whole grains and fresh vegetables. It's been part of my diet almost all of my adult life.

Last night. A stranger I met last week at the Mindy Smith concert took a picture of Mindy and I and she sent it to me last night. It came out great and I was so thrilled to get it. Due to past similar experiences I gave up on getting it but she came through.

Today's Question(s): What foods did you grow up with that you haven't eaten since you left home? OMG it's been like 35 years since I lived 'at home' I think I blocked out the nasty dishes, though must say my mom and dad didn't force me to eat stuff I thought was gross. Do remember my mom serving liver one time and I told her it was nasty; she said I should be grateful I had food because there were starving kids in Ethiopia - I suggested she mail it to them

Have no idea since I don't have kids myself and I never took care of other people's kids it would be when I was a child and that was a loooooong time ago.

Something funny said by our Chief of Police at a lecture I attended yesterday.
Now then, foods I didn't grow up with that I enjoy now, would be anything American. We didn't have pizzas, burgers, yogurt, or Coca-Cola. I remember reading a Superman comic, and someone mentioned going for a 'coke'. I asked my Father what it was. He didn't know either!
The last child like, fun thing I did was probably making paper planes for Judy's grandson.
The last thing to make me smile was combing my hair this morning. I'm always happy to admire myself!!

Happy Wednesday everyone....
I'm glad to have survived the horrible storm we had yesterday morning. My office was without power for over 12 hours, so that's why I was not on C-D yesterday. My neighborhood took a hit, with a lot of tree damage and some roofs damaged, but my house is okay. There are a lot of wires down on the ground, but, amazingly, my side of the street has not lost power. One of my co-workers who lives in the town next to mine is still without power (since 7 a.m. yesterday), and we're supposed to break another record-high temperature today -- 101 degrees expected this afternoon.
Today's Question(s): What foods did you grow up with that you haven't eaten since you left home? The only thing I can think of that my mom prepared once in a while and I haven't had since I was a kid is . . . drum roll . . . . . pickled pigs' feet.
What foods did you not grow up with that you have to make up lost time for? Junk food. My mom didn't allow junk food in the house. Wise mom.
Just for Fun: What was the last child-like fun thing you did (like blow bubbles, play with Silly Putty, play hopscotch, etc...), and when? Played out in the rain this morning. Well, I didn't play long, but it was raining lightly when I left for work, so I just walked around the yard and reveled in the relatively cool, rainy morning. My hair likes rain water, so now it's all fluffy and curly.
Bonus Question: What was the last thing that made you smile? A rainbow as I was driving to work this morning. I pulled my car over to take a photo, but it was already gone by the time I grabbed the camera and hopped out of the car. Maybe next time! Rainbows always make me smile.

Earliest documented use: before 1805. Usage: "The knaves go all agee when both my lord and myself have our backs turned." Charlotte M. Yonge; Grisly Grisell; Macmillan; 1893. Cool.
Today is: Carousel, or Merry-go-Round Day I like merry-go-rounds. Thread the Needle Day I don't like sewing by hand, but did a couple of button repairs last week. No needle and thread for me today, though. National Hot Fudge Sundae Day One of my favorite desserts! Yay! The Birthday of Loiuse Brown (1978), First Test Tube Baby ok
Happy hump day, everyone!
