Today's Question(s):

So have you ever been told you "remind folks of someone famous"


Not I, but my spouse bears a downright frightening resemblance to a former US president.

Do you see the resemblance ?

Oh, yes, and so did everyone else. When the former president was first running for office as a national candidate, every single time we'd go out in public, at least one person would come up to my poor spouse and say, "Has anyone ever told you that you look just exactly like __________?" At one point, he was on a business trip, dressed up in suit and tie, and had stopped at a Burger King to find a pay phone to check his voicemail. A woman walked past, glanced at him, jumped a foot in the air and exclaimed "Oh my goodness, sir, I didn't know you were going to be in town today!" We couldn't eat at a restaurant for months, until the election was over and everyone realized that it wasn't very likely to find the President-elect, without any Secret Service agents around, sitting in the corner booth at a diner in a tiny podunk town off in the middle of nowhere.

Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever attended services in a House of Worship other than the Faith you follow ?


Since I am not a believer in any religion, any time I attend a wedding or funeral, I'm attending services in a faith that I do not follow.

Extra Just Because Question:

In honor of Repeat Day

Is there one day in the past you would love to repeat ?


I would love to relive the days that each of my children were born. I was fortunate in having positive birth experiences with each of them, and those days were among the most joyful in my life.

Have you every tried:
Rhubarb


Oh yes - got a dozen or so stalks in the fridge even as we speak (ok, as we type). My spouse likes to stew it up with a bit of sugar and some fresh ginger to make a sauce to go with roast pork, or over vanilla ice cream. And rhubarb crisp is a real treat here.

Fennel

Frequently; I like adding fennel to the sauce I make for my lasagna, to give it the flavor of Italian sausage.

Pork Rinds

Tried them once, wasn't terribly impressed.
