seems like we just did that.




~ What foods do you cook in the oven directly on the oven rack (not on a cookie sheet or something)?
none. I'd rather wash a cookie sheet or some such than clean the oven.


~ Have you ever owned a griddle? (You're supposed to write an answer here other than just yes or no.)
no and I can't think of anything else to write.


~ Do you pretty much keep somewhat in touch with the latest news?
vaguely. I know that Eisenhower isn't president any more.



~ Have you ever been driving and came to a big bridge that you had to drive across and you were pretty bothered by it?
yes. I don't remember where but it was a gazillion miles too long and actually sat on the water. and swayed with the water. Surprisingly it is possible to get seasick on land.


~ Have you any sidewalk or paving stones or pathway on your property or in your yard?
yes-a sidewalk to the road.


~ Do you recall ever seeing a 'lawn jockey' or any plastic animals on someone's lawn? How about a plastic pink flamingo?


a few plastic flamingos here and there. In my yard it's hippos (now there's a surprise) which have all been put away for the winter.


~ The last light bulb that burned out inside or outside of your home...and which bulb was it that blew?
table lamp in the living room.


~ Have you ever eaten hummus?
some. not overly impressed.


~ Things that have a 'skin':
onions, people, pudding


~ Things associated with 'the gold rush':
greed, money, optimism


~ Do you keep any delivery menus on hand?
nope


~ Things associated with Texas:
desert, heat, lousy lawyers (I know they're not all lousy but the one who 'helped' settle my sister's estate sure was so that's my association)


~ What sort of things might we find on your refrigerator/freezer door ( on the outside of it)?
nothing. a few magnets on the side-Maine stuff mostly

Wow, thank you, rainroosty!


~ What foods do you cook in the oven directly on the oven rack (not on a cookie sheet or something)? Pizza sometimes. That's about it. And I don't bake pizza like that all the time.

~ Have you ever owned a griddle? (You're supposed to write an answer here other than just yes or no.) Yes, and I used it but now I rarely use it.

~ Do you pretty much keep somewhat in touch with the latest news? Yes, pretty much. I check the news from various sources at least once a day, sometimes more if I know something biggety is going on.

~ Have you ever been driving and came to a big bridge that you had to drive across and you were pretty bothered by it? Oh my gosh, yes, I used to have to cross a bridge in Baltimore that always freaked me out. I would think "OK, so if the bridge fell when I was on it, I could only save one of my kids - would I do it?" I decided that no, I couldn't do that so I'd just find the air bubble with them and we'd all die together.

~ Have you any sidewalk or paving stones or pathway on your property or in your yard? Yes, I have a sidewalk connected to my driveway and it goes to my front door. I really like it. I also have a big patio out back with a brick walkway and I like that too.

~ Do you recall ever seeing a 'lawn jockey' or any plastic animals on someone's lawn? How about a plastic pink flamingo? There is a house in I think Louisiana that I used to pass all the time when I was visiting relatives in Arkansas and it had a lawn jockey outside. I was always appalled by it but also found it humorous. I mean, the house was sort of nice but that lawn jockey...OMG...

~ The last light bulb that burned out inside or outside of your home...and which bulb was it that blew? I believe it was a light bulb in a night light so I had to go buy a package of night light bulbs, which are very low wattage by the way.

~ Have you ever eaten hummus? All the time. In fact, I need some more.

~ Things that have a 'skin': Fruit.

~ Things associated with 'the gold rush': Gloves, a shallow pan, jeans.

~ Do you keep any delivery menus on hand? No.

~ Things associated with Texas: OMG that's where I live. Lone stars. Armadillos. Shiner Bock beer. Austin. The Alamo. I could go on and on with this! But I won't.

~ What sort of things might we find on your refrigerator/freezer door ( on the outside of it)? Magnets from all over the world, from various travels through the years. Also magnets from when my kids were small.
