Today's Question(s):
When/how did you get your eating utensils, and do you need/want more or different utensils?
I have a box I bought off Amazon that I haven't opened yet. I've had it almost a year. I like light weight silverware with rounded tablespoons.

Do you have any pottery (including flower pots), glass decorations or vases? No

Have you ever casually sung along with others, like on a road trip? No

Foodie Question(s):
What food or beverages do you think you could tell apart in a taste test?
Definitely Coke vs Pepsi. I don't like Pepsi. Those are the type of things I can tell apart: things I don't like vs things I like.

Where do you keep your spices? On the side of the stove.

Tell us at least one spice you like and maybe in what dish(es): Pepper on pretty much everything.

Just to:
What do you have, use or do that isn't "cool" or trendy, but you don't care?
You may have seen this coming since I'm always whining about it (no, not GPS this time) but within the next 7 days, I'm ditching my smartphone and going back to a dumbphone. All I want is voice, text, voicemail and a loud alarm clock. I have plenty of cameras. Don't need or want one in a phone. I have a tablet and PC. Don't need or want more Internet access. Don't want a device where you need a magnifying glass to read it or you can't fit everything on a page and lastly I'm sick of hearing about new apps that aren't properly explained or tested and that takes 12 steps to correct their mistakes in programming...and I still use a CD player to listen to music. So there! Oh wait, I forgot about my 28 year old TV that isn't a flat screen but still works. God bless Samsung.

Amazon and Macy's are the last places that I bought flatware.

I have some really old silverware that rarely get used.

Do you have any pottery (including flower pots), glass decorations or vases?
Just a couple of vases.
Have you ever casually sung along with others, like on a road trip?
Yes, many years ago when we were much younger.
Foodie Question(s):

I need to go buy a spice rack or shelves or something to put them on, because they are kind of
all over the place right now, some on a shelf, some in the pantry, etc.

Tell us at least one spice you like and maybe in what dish(es):
I probably use pepper, garlic powder and onion powder the most often.


But it depends on what I am making...love Italian seasoning and Herbs De' Provence, Rosemary, Paprika and many more depending on what I am cooking.



Just to:
What do you have, use or do that isn't "cool" or trendy, but you don't care?

Probably many things, I don't really care at all what is cool or trendy, I like what I like and go with that.

Thanks for the questions!

I bought my flatware in 1984. I only remember because they were half price and still very expensive. Still like them, still using them.

I have pottery, some I even made myself. A few crystal vases of various sizes.

Haven't done any singing on a road trip since I was a kid.

Sage on roasted vegetables or in butternut soup.

I wear comfortable shoes.

Hi, folks. Descriptions, details, or extra information welcome. Let's take a look at . . .

Today's Question(s):
When/how did you get your eating utensils, and do you need/want more or different utensils? I use a brand of silverware that is well known, and purchased in a grocery store 20 years ago when moving from one state to another. IF I need another utensil I will pick it up when I go Estate sale shopping.

Do you have any pottery (including flower pots), glass decorations or vases? Yes. I am a sucker for beautiful breakables, but don't have much room to show them off or store to use. So when I downsized, a couple times, I only kept my favorite pieces.

Have you ever casually sung along with others, like on a road trip? No, I usually travel alone. You don't wanna hear my singing, heck, I don't wanna hear my singing.

Foodie Question(s):
What food or beverages do you think you could tell apart in a taste test? Pepsi vs Coke. Jif Peanut Butter vs Peter Pan.

Where do you keep your spices? In my pantry where they are not convenient to get at. I am currently looking for a spice rack of some sort.

Tell us at least one spice you like and maybe in what dish(es): Cream of Tartar in Snickerdoodle cookies.

Just to:
What do you have, use or do that isn't "cool" or trendy, but you don't care? At my age, and being "old school", probable NOTHING I do, say, wear or feel is trendy, an I don't care.


in the style of e.e cummings: happy thursday Back at ya!

Today's Question(s):
When/how did you get your eating utensils, and do you need/want more or different utensils?
My silverware was a Christmas gift but I would have preferred to pick that out for myself. It's ok. I have other cooking utensils that I've had many years, some from the 70's. If it ain't broke.....

Do you have any pottery (including flower pots), glass decorations or vases?
Yes I have all three. Just a few things, I don't have room for many decorations. But the stuff I do have I have picked out carefully, it looks random and unintentional. Just the way I like it. I'm fixing to mix it up again with color.

Have you ever casually sung along with others, like on a road trip?
Some of the best times I had in the 70's/80's was riding around with my friends singing at the top of our lungs. I remember one particular time when we were young teenagers 2 of my guy friends and I were having a ball driving around in my one friend's grandfather's half truck(it didn't have a bed)it was a hunk of junk and we were mostly driving on dirt roads with the windows down singing "Gimme Three Steps". We went to the shore, drank some lemonade, and sang more LS songs. Kind of like that song "American Pie". No whiskey and rye, though. Just lemonade. Really.

Foodie Question(s):
What food or beverages do you think you could tell apart in a taste test?
All of 'em, I'm a dang exspurt.

Where do you keep your spices?
The spice cabinet? nah, I don't have one of those. They're in the cabinet above the microwave. My teeny-tiny microwave that sits on the counter. Poor thing is rusting and has been set on fire. Nope, I did not do it.

Tell us at least one spice you like and maybe in what dish(es):
I like oregano, it's so good in Italian dishes and burgers. I'm not a big spice person, just the usuals.

Just to:
What do you have, use or do that isn't "cool" or trendy, but you don't care?
Isn't that a rather personal question? I guess my constant wardrobe of capris and flip-flops. I suppose that's not cool. Or any number of things that I do or say. I'm slowly reaching that idgac stage.

Today's Question(s):
When/how did you get your eating utensils, and do you need/want more or different utensils? When I married my wife she already had a kitchen full of utensils. The ones I had at my place either got donated or stuffed into a drawer somewhere.

Do you have any pottery (including flower pots), glass decorations or vases? Several clay pots with cacti.

Have you ever casually sung along with others, like on a road trip? Only when the kids were wee ones when traveling.

Foodie Question(s):
What food or beverages do you think you could tell apart in a taste test? Most of them especially beer popcorn and peanuts.

Where do you keep your spices? In a cabinet above the stove in a double tiered thingamajingy that rotates.

Tell us at least one spice you like and maybe in what dish(es): Salt/pepper/garlic and whatever else is used in cooking. The chef takes care of that dept. not me.

Just to:
What do you have, use or do that isn't "cool" or trendy, but you don't care? We have everything we need at this stage in life and are not into the latest trendy stuff. Still have our flip phones that rarely get used. What isn't cool are my flip flops that no one sees anyway.
