Roasted chicken breasts w/roasted veggie mix, i.e. potato & sweet potato wedges w/onions, garlic, bell pepper & celery (all drizzled w/EVOO) and a green salad at home.

~ What kind of heating do you have in your home and do you like it?
Central electric A/C/heat - yes; plus a small backup gas heater in case we lose power - not so much.

~ Have you ever gone to the market and found that they moved things around so that you don't know where things are?
I hate that, takes twice as long to shop when they "remodel".

~ The last thing you had with tomato on it:
BLT

~ Have you had any precipitation this past week?
Rain all day Tuesday

~ Do you save any containers from something you bought to use as a handy storage container?
Rarely, though I've been trying to think of a good use for those little round plastic mint containers... they are so well made and the labels are removable plus they come in all kinds of colors depending on the type mints you buy, seems like such a waste to just throw them away when they're empty.

Gulf Shores

Ones that have quality merchandise at spectacularly discounted end-of-season prices.

First to the bestsellers section, then to the fiction section usually unless I'm looking for a book on a specific topic.

Probably Chili's for something quick.

~ Now that you are home, what would you like to do?
Change to my comfy clothes, put everything up we bought and just relax.

~ What time would you like to go to bed?
Now that I've retired, it's whenever I get sleepy.


***** Pleasant dreams and happy things to you, today, Fryday and all weekend long! *****

Pork chop with mascarpone mashed potatoes

It is a gas gravity heater. I like it because it is quiet.

Yes, at casual burger places.

~ What did you have that was good to eat this past week? - My daily salad is always good. Posted before but not in a while. Shoutout to poster Northsouth: Mix it up! Maybe like this:
Spinach and mixed greens (for base), Quinoa Lima bean salad, kidney and / or Garbanzo beans / chickpeas, olives, shredded carrots, cucumber, tomato and a little grated cheese. Always with a little oil and vinegar.

If I'm at a different salad bar and I can't get the Quinoa, Tabouli can usually be found.
A side note is it doesn't look hard to make.

~ What kind of heating do you have in your home and do you like it? I really do not like it because it is controlled by the management of my apoartment development. Most of the time it is okay but sometimes it's too hot. Only once this season and in the two years I have been here when it was not enough. I can turn it off which I do in the early spring. Rather have none at all if it's too hot. Always the window option to balance but I never felt the need.

At least I do not have to pay for it...

It's gas and comes out of a grate.

~ Have you ever gone to the market and found that they moved things around so that you don't know where things are? Ever, yes. Sometimes I get frustrated when I am at the organic market because they do not label their shelves. But I know the items I buy and it only rarely changes.

~ The last thing you had with tomato on it: Yesterday's salad.

~ Have you had any precipitation this past week? - We had a blizzard come in exactly one week ago which we are still recovering from. We got two feet of snow.

~ Do you miss the summer? - Especially now, yeah.

~ What brand shaver do you have? - Norelco.

~ Who washes your clothes and where do your clothes get washed? - Due to my sprained ankle I am behind and will be taking it all to a laundromat on my rare Sunday off that I have. I suffered a setback as I fell on the ice two days ago.

Usually I have to haul it to another apartment building where There are 3 each washers and dryers to share with other residents. It's a hassle but oh well...

~ Where do you suppose Paul Bunyan lived? D/K

~ Have you ever used an axe? - No.

~ How about a sledge hammer? - Nope.

~ Have you ever been served something to eat in a basket? Think now.... - Long time ago. I asked for a plate.

~ Orange highlighter.

~ Do you save any containers from something you bought to use as a handy storage container? - No. I either use store bought containers or freezer bags.

~ Where was the last place that you walked on 'the beach'? - Ocean City, MD., 42 years ago.

~ What kind of store do you really like to browse around in? - None. I like to get what I need and leave, unless it's at a Farmers Market.

~ Well, now that we're at the book store, what section are you heading to first? - The CD section, if they have one...

~ Where shall we have a bite to eat now that we're done shopping? - Balducci's food bar:
Balducci's - Balduccis - Food Lover's Market

~ Now that you are home, what would you like to do? - Rest my sprained ankle. But I have to go to work.

~ What time would you like to go to bed? - Midnight is about my usual time.

***** Pleasant dreams and happy things to you, today, Fryday and all weekend long! *****

Thanks, rainroosty. Great Questions!

I went to my doctor yesterday to have her look at my ankle. She gave me a thorough exam and did not charge me. She is awesome and the best! No fracture but this is going to take a while. Long story on how I fell for the second time (while navigating the ice and snow) and this post is long enough.

Happy Friday to all!

Last thing I ate this week, well everything is good but I can't remember!
Heating in this house is the heater, guess it's called central heating where you set a thermostat.
Do I miss the summer? Oh Heck no, not these summers!
I'm real picky about my laundry and do my own.
Shaver....I use the dollar store brand, it works just as good as any other and ya can't beat the price.
Last place I walked on 'the beach' was the shores of Lake Michigan. I enjoyed stepping into the sand barefoot, or pulling my kayak into or out of the water.
Thanks for the questions, have a great day!

What did you have that was good to eat this past week?

Nothing stands out. I eat the same boring stuff, especially during the week.

~ What kind of heating do you have in your home and do you like it?

Central. It heats so it does its job, but I prefer natural heat over artificial heat. The heater heat is so drying and suffocating.

~ Have you ever gone to the market and found that they moved things around so that you don't know where things are?

Yes.

~ The last thing you had with tomato on it:

I cooked some zucchini Tuesday and threw in a tomato because it was going soft.

~ Have you had any precipitation this past week?

I think it rained Wednesday.

~ Do you miss the summer?

Not really. Our summers are sometimes 6 months long with short sporadic visits (albeit much milder) throughout the other half - it was hot on Christmas day and the A/C broke that morning. It's always somewhere around the corner which I like until July hits.

~ What brand shaver do you have?

Those cheap blue ones. I'm not very hairy.


~ Who washes your clothes and where do your clothes get washed?


I wash them in the washing machine.


~ Where do you suppose Paul Bunyan lived?


Up a bean stalk.

~ Have you ever used an axe?

Once I cut down a small tree. It was hard.

~ How about a sledge hammer?

No, but sometimes I wish I had one to smash stuff with.

~ Have you ever been served something to eat in a basket? Think now....

Chips at a Mexican restaurant, sandwich with fries. Yes.

~ Orange McFizz.

A dumb thing I made up a long time ago. I won't explain.

~ Do you save any containers from something you bought to use as a handy storage container?

Sometimes.

~ Where was the last place that you walked on 'the beach'?

The part with the sand.

~ What kind of store do you really like to browse around in?

I don't really like shopping anymore.

~ Well, now that we're at the book store, what section are you heading to first?

Book stores overwhelm me. Whatever catches my eye, whatever I have in mind.

~ Where shall we have a bite to eat now that we're done shopping?

I don't know.

~ Now that you are home, what would you like to do?

Be unproductive. That's what will happen.

~ What time would you like to go to bed?

When I need to.
