Today’s Question:

Today is Canned Food Day. What canned foods do you use the most and what canned foods would you never eat unless your life depended on it?

MOST > [same as poster/s before me] tuna and soups.
Usually the soups I get are like the quasi cans - the ones you can put in the microwave.

Never > as much as I like fish, sardines is not up there on my list (don't think it ever will be either).


Extra Credit Question:

If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country?
Oh nooo, I can't decide. Canada (because it's closest) but Ireland or Germany are close ties. Family on both sides.



Bonus Question:

How many first cousins do you have?
8


Just for fun:

What was the last book you read in its entirety?
I Am Nujood, Aged 10 and Divorced ~ Nujood Ali

What book are you reading now (if any).

I had read 3 of Kevin Follett's books in the past, "The Key To Rebecca", "Eye of the Needle" and "On Wings of Eagle's",.. think I have "Fall of the Giants" somewhere around the house or a copy on my iPod. Maybe I'll pick it back up and actually try to finish. I get easily distracted but once I get into the books (any - not just Kevin Follett's), they're hard to put down.

Gee there are many to choose from. I do like cooking with Campbell's soups. So many yummy things to make with them!

I do not use ANY canned fish products what so ever! UGH!


Extra Credit Question:

If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country? Scotland, because it is so beautiful, full of wonderful people and amazing history as well as really cool accents and sayings. Fascinating and entrancing for me!

Good morning all!!

Today’s Question:

Today is Canned Food Day. What canned foods do you use the most and what canned foods would you never eat unless your life depended on it?
Canned would probably be the soups.
Never? Canned boiled peanuts.....don't...just don't


Extra Credit Question:

If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country?

Canada 1st choice...(closest to home AND absolutely beautiful) I'd look at Germany, England and Swizerland...just because I've always wanted to go. Oh and add Austrailia, Austria, Ireland........I'd better leave it at Canada because there are so many.
Bonus Question:


How many first cousins do you have? I have 1! My mother had one brother and my father is an only child. My DH on the other hand had 41 when all were living.

Just for fun:

What was the last book you read in its entirety? I don't know the title, something I got for free for my Kindle.

What book are you reading now (if any). I haven't started my next one yet.


Have a great day everyone!

Good morning to all! Crazy week so far. I am covering for a co-worker and we've been inundated with strange problems this week. And it's only Tuesday... Ugh!!!!


Today’s Question:

Today is Canned Food Day. What canned foods do you use the most and what canned foods would you never eat unless your life depended on it?
My family uses canned tuna quite a bit. I don't really like anything from a can.


Extra Credit Question:

If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country?
We've been loosely looking at Central America for retirement. A condo on the beach in the lower $100K range isn't too shabby. But, it's sooooo far away from friends and family.


Bonus Question:

How many first cousins do you have?
Don't know. I haven't communicated with extended family in years.


Just for fun:

What was the last book you read in its entirety?
The owners manual for my motorcycle. I was bored.

What book are you reading now (if any).
I don't like to read books. I read magazines and online materials.

Today Is:

TV Talk Show Host Day
IPad Day
Swallows Depart from San Juan Capistrano Day
National Mole Day
Canned Food Day

Have a good day everybody!

Today’s Question:
Today is Canned Food Day. What canned foods do you use the most and what canned foods would you never eat unless your life depended on it?
The most: stewed tomatoes, spinach, baked beans are some. I like the flavor of new potatoes better out of a can, whole not sliced.
I don't care for canned peas. They taste awful and have a mushy texture. Fresh or frozen peas are just fine.


Extra Credit Question:
If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country?
I would choose Canada, simply because it's the only fully modern neighboring country. Plus, one of my great grandmothers was Canadian.
Truth is I would not want to emigrate from the US.


Bonus Question:
How many first cousins do you have?
10


Just for fun:
What was the last book you read in its entirety?
Our Story, about the miners trapped in Pennsylvania a few years ago. It was an interesting read.
What book are you reading now (if any).
I'm always dipping in and out of books for work or pleasure so there are several.


Today Is:
Swallows Depart from San Juan Capistrano Day
Goodbye, birds, see you next year.

Today’s Question:

Today is Canned Food Day. What canned foods do you use the most and what canned foods would you never eat unless your life depended on it?
I always keep several cans of refried black beans in the house, along with various cooking soups (cream of X) - even if I was starving, I wouldn't eat any Del Monte canned spinach had a great-aunt that forced me to when I was a kid.

If you had to emigrate to another country, where would you go and why did you choose that country? Well, I'm here. Beautiful country, safe and a lower cost of living where a buck goes a heck of a lot farther.



Bonus Question:

How many first cousins do you have? No clue



Just for fun:

What was the last book you read in its entirety? The Help


Thanks for QOTD and have a great day y'all.
