Happy last day of July! This summer is sure going by fast!
Today’s Question:
Many people have a set of four drawers in their kitchen and apparently the most common use for the top drawer is storing cutlery, and for the second drawer storing such items as the can opener, slotted spoons, cheese grater, measuring spoons, kitchen scissors and so on.

Extra Credit Question:
Olive the Olympic Fairy will give you the skills and talents to compete at the Olympic Games. What sport would you most like to compete in and why? gymnastics. Always have loved that sport and beautiful and exciting to watch.
Bonus Question:
What will you, or did you, have for breakfast today? always just drink one cup of green tea.
Just for Fun:

a) Dinner at a restaurant or dinner at home
b) An hour cleaning house or an hour pulling weeds
c) A walk in the country or a walk in the city

Extra Credit Question:
Olive the Olympic Fairy will give you the skills and talents to compete at the Olympic Games. What sport would you most like to compete in and why? I don't mind watching a few Olympic events, but I'm not interested in sports, and I'm just not competetive. I can't think of one I'd like to do.
Bonus Question:
What will you, or did you, have for breakfast today? Haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards two fried eggs with a soft yolk, soy bacon, and toast with Marmite. If I'm feeling particularly ambitious, I may add hash very-browns with onions.

Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, July 31st. After several weeks of cloudy, cool and somewhat wet weather, the rest of the week here in my neck of the woods is forecast to be clear and sunny with top temps around 70F. Not bad for midwinter!
Morning Kobber, today is a rarity for mid-summer here in Las Vegas, its cloudy, cold, very humid, supposed to get to 89* today with a 50% chance of monsoonal desert thunderstorms.

Have cutlery in one, slotted spoons and weird utensils in one, one is called the "junk drawer" which has batteries, twist ties, warranty pprwrk for the appliances, candles, lighters, etc.. The 4th is full of them plastic supermarket bags until I get around to repurposing them (such as trash bags for the bathroom or office)
Extra Credit Question:
Olive the Olympic Fairy will give you the skills and talents to compete at the Olympic Games. What sport would you most like to compete in and why?
Good question. I would probably say one of the shooting events...it's about the only skill that could potential save your life (shoot an intruder for safety, shoot a critter for safety/food)...Maybe one of the track sprinters would be cool...then you can run from the intruder/critter chasing after you.

Is this the case in your home, and what do you keep in your third drawer? My kitchen drawers are arranged horizontally, not vertically, so I'll go from right to left. The first two drawers are arranged as above, since they're closest to the stove. Third drawer is for storing eating utensils (forks, spoons, knives).

Today’s Question: Many people have a set of four drawers in their kitchen and apparently the most common use for the top drawer is storing cutlery, and for the second drawer storing such items as the can opener, slotted spoons, cheese grater, measuring spoons, kitchen scissors and so on. Is this the case in your home, and what do you keep in your third drawer? Nope. My cutlery is stored in a wood block. My flatware and serving spoons are in a top drawer and other utensils are in another top drawer. I have tw other drawers that contain small T-ware containers, cookie cutters and oddball stuff like that.
Extra Credit Question: Olive the Olympic Fairy will give you the skills and talents to compete at the Olympic Games. What sport would you most like to compete in and why? Gymnastics - Uneven bars. I love watching that and imagining flying through the air like they do.
Bonus Question: What will you, or did you, have for breakfast today? Im' having it right now - a bowl of Lavish (brand name) dark chocolate whole-grain oatmeal with flax.
Just for Fun: Which do you prefer (pick one from each group)…
a) Dinner at a restaurant or dinner at home Dinner at a restaurant is a wonderful treat, but on a day-to-day basis I'd prefer dinner at home.
b) An hour cleaning house or an hour pulling weeds Pulling weeds. I detest housework.
c) A walk in the country or a walk in the city Definitely the country. Can never get enough nature.
d) A visit to the zoo or a visit to the aquarium Ooooo - tough choice. Depends on which zoo and which aquarium. I love going to Brookfield Zoo near Chicago. I went to the aquarium in Monterey, CA once, and it was one of my favorite places ever! So I don't think I could choose one over the other.
