***** Do come again. I've been feeding the birds and squirrels. *****
After a very lovely few months vacation: Welcome back, roosty! I missed you.
~ What is a good thing to do with cream cheese? I like to spread it on a hot, toasted bagel.
~ A frozen food or three that is good: Trader Joe's sweet potato fries
~ Have you ever had shrimp scampi or any seafood with butter & garlic? Yes, many times. Scampi is the Italian word for shrimp, so if you say "shrimp scampi," you are saying "shrimp shrimp."
~ Do you like roast beef? Love it but don't have it very often. There are only two in our household, and a whole roast seems like too much.
~ Have you ever seen someone playing with an Xbox or Sony PlayStation? Only on TV
~ Do you ever make garlic bread or toasted bread-anything in the oven? Yes, I usually serve garlic bread with spaghetti. I prefer mine with so much garlic in it that after you eat it, you're so nuclear you could set off a Geiger counter.
~ Let's hear about the last pizza that you had: It was a vegetarian pizza made with pesto, mozzarella, roasted red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, red onions and eggplant. I sprinkled some red pepper flakes on top to give it that extra little kick.
~ Do you ever buy frozen corn? Yes, I like it much better than shucking ears of fresh corn and trying to get all the silk off.
~ Do you ever buy anything from the 'deli' department in your grocery store? Not very often. The last thing I bought was a whole roast chicken.
~ Do you like Key Lime pie? Love, love, love it!
~ Is there any stuffing in your house? There's half a box of cornbread stuffing mix. I used the other half at Thanksgiving, augmented with my own sauteed onion, celery, mushrooms and parsley.
~ What kind of soap do you bathe with? Mistral Lavender.
~ Does your mail carrier put mail in your mailbox that shouldn't be in your mailbox? Once in a while that happens. A few years ago we had a new mail carrier who made a lot of mistakes, but I don't think he is on our route any more. I either put the misdelivered mail back in a mailbox or, if the addressee lives on our street, I'll drop it in their mail slot.
~ Do you like going into a music store and seeing all the musical instruments, some beautiful and some not? Yes, I love music and am fascinated by musical instruments. I wish I had the talent to play, but I'm an amateur at best. Some of us are gifted; people like me have to resign ourselves to being an appreciative audience for the gifted ones.
~ Do you have a mat at your door? Yes, it's a standard one, the type that is made from links of recycled tires. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.
~ Have you sat outside during the past week? No, it's been a little bit too chilly. I've gone outside to watch the sunset a couple of times, though.
~ Have you any memories of awesome wildlife you have seen in your lifetime? I haven't been on any safaris or anything like that, so the most exotic animals I've seen have been at the zoo. I think giraffes are pretty awesome, and tropical birds fascinate me.
After a very lovely few months vacation:
Welcome back! This is a big surprise. I tried to send you a DM when I noticed you online 2 weeks ago but it bounced back due to your full DM box.
~ What is a good thing to do with cream cheese? I have not had any in a long time but I have had it before on a variety of bread including bagels and English muffins.
~ A frozen food or three that is good: Besides ice cream I only buy Amy's or Trader Joe's dinners. Not all but some of their selections are very good. I have one about 3 times per month and usually with fresh vegetables.
~ Have you ever had shrimp scampi or any seafood with butter & garlic? - I can't eat shrimp.
~ Do you like roast beef? I hardly ever eat red meat anymore.
~ Have you ever seen someone playing with an Xbox or Sony PlayStation? I know nothing about this nor do I want to. I'm sure this is hard to believe for most but I have never actually seen anyone using one. I have heard of them...
~ Do you ever make garlic bread or toasted bread-anything in the oven? - I sometimes buy French bread and heat it in the oven.
~ Let's hear about the last pizza that you had: Last night - I sauteed two kinds of fresh mushrooms with extra garlic. When done and after draining I smothered the top of the pizza.
~ Do you ever buy frozen corn? - No, I cannot digest corn.
~ Do you ever buy anything from the 'deli' department in your grocery store? Cheese and sometimes potato salad. Rarely anything else.
~ Do you like Key Lime pie? - Yes, but have not had it in a long time.
~ Is there any stuffing in your house? - Nope.
~ What kind of soap do you bathe with? I forgot the brand but I bought it at the local organic market, a small company that I am sure no one has heard of.
~ Does your mail carrier put mail in your mailbox that shouldn't be in your mailbox? Sometimes, there is one (?) here who crams the mail in the mailbox. If I had a camera I would take a pictures and go down to the post office to find out why. I usually do not like confrontations and I have seen different carriers delivering here. I get a lot of unwanted junk mail. I wish that would stop.
~ Do you like going into a music store and seeing all the musical instruments, some beautiful and some not? I have not been inside one in decades. But it would be a cool thing to do.
~ Do you have a mat at your door? - No.
~ Have you sat outside during the past week? - Last Thursday at the local lake.

~ Do you like roast beef? Love it.
~ Have you ever seen someone playing with an Xbox or Sony PlayStation? Sure.

~ Do you ever buy frozen corn? Yes.
~ Do you ever buy anything from the 'deli' department in your grocery store? Yes.

~ Is there any stuffing in your house? All gone now.
~ What kind of soap do you bathe with? Safeguard usually.
~ Does your mail carrier put mail in your mailbox that shouldn't be in your mailbox? Not in the six years we have been out here. We possibly have the world's best mail carrier here at the farm.
Now ask me when was the last time FedEx brought my mail to my house and not my neighbor's.
~ Do you like going into a music store and seeing all the musical instruments, some beautiful and some not? It's been a while but yes. It's one of the few places left where you can still get close to hand craftsmanship. And for a few thousand dollars some of that craftsmanship is still American-made.
~ Do you have a mat at your door? At both ends of the house.
~ Have you sat outside during the past week? Probably will today.

~ Do you ever buy anything from the 'deli' department in your grocery store? Cheese, sometimes sandwich meats

~ What kind of soap do you bathe with? Liquid
~ Does your mail carrier put mail in your mailbox that shouldn't be in your mailbox? Sometimes it's hung on the side of the box, sometimes he drives up and leaves things by the back door. Oh, read that wrong. Yeah, sometimes I get neighbor's mail. I just walk up the road and put it in their mailbox. NBD...
~ Do you like going into a music store and seeing all the musical instruments, some beautiful and some not? Love, love, love......
~ Do you have a mat at your door? Do not
~ Have you sat outside during the past week? Not sat, but I'm outside every day with the kids at recess. You can't sit with 80 fifth graders running around. You'd be trampled!
~ Have you any memories of awesome wildlife you have seen in your lifetime? I often watch deer and turkeys in the fields and have had a black bear on my porch a couple times. Once followed a moose walking along the side of the road.
