[quote=ylisa7;49157834]Hello and Happy Friday Night/Saturday

Today’s Questions:
When did you first get a computer? I worked in a computer center so I was using a terminal in 1975, I didn't have a need for one that was actually owned by me until I left in 1993.

How about the Internet? I used Usenet in the 1980s, and then the internet when that came along...sometime in the early 90s, I guess.

Did you ever have your milk delivered in glass jars? No, bottles yes.

Do you like to bowl? I can't

Have you ever been on a bowling league? Would you? No

Ooh garage sales....yay or nay? Nay

Have you ever had one? Yeck!

Have you ever been to a flea market? Yes, there used to flea markets in my NYC neighborhood from time to time.

Extra Credit Questions:

Macaroni salad or potato salad? a good potato salad, not one that tastes a collection of potato rejects with mayo.

Apple pie or watermelon? apple pie
Lemonade or iced tea? lemonade
Frisbee or softball? can't play either, than god

Badminton or bocce ball? bocce, as an observer only

Bonus Questions:

Do you dream in color? Almost always, but sometimes as in yesterday I dream in flat cartoon colors and those dreams are uncomfortable even though they aren't nightmares. Must be the odd look of the color.

Do you hear in your dreams? Sure, sometimes what wakes me up is my own talking in the dream or in response to the dream.

Have you ever hidden something so well that you forgot where it was? Grrrrrr, recently and I had to buy a new something....and then I found the first something two weeks later. I had a lot to say about it, fortunately I live alone.

Have you ever buried treasure? No, when I was a child our cat was run over and I put stuff in her coffin box when I buried her.

How about a time capsule? I remember doing that once as a youngster.

Recipe of the Day:

Avocado Veggie Panini



from Avocado Veggie Panini - Pinch of Yum

This avocado veggie panini is stuffed with lots of sauteed mushrooms, tomatoes, and kale, and smeared with avocado. So yummy!
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 minced shallot (onion or garlic works too)
8 ounces sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups chopped kale, stems removed
salt to taste
2 avocados
8 pieces thick, sturdy wheat bread
melty white cheese like Provolone or Mozzarella, if you want

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shallots; saute until translucent. Add the mushrooms and saute until browned lightly on the outside. Add the tomatoes and kale; saute until wilted and warmed through. Remove from heat and season with salt.
Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork. Spread some avocado on the surface of each piece of bread. Assemble the sandwiches by carefully arranging the vegetables on the bread. Get as many veggies on as you can because the sandwiches sink down when you use the panini press.
Add the cheese on top of the veggies if you want, cover with another slice of bread, and place on a preheated panini press. When the bread is browned on the outside, remove from heat. If you did not cut the tomatoes, be careful as they might burst when you bite into them and they will be hot!

Thanks Lisa.

Joe Joe Nightmare is obsessed with a mouse in the garden. I've been trying to catch it with a humane trap for days. So far the peanut butter, cheese, and apple pastry have failed to entice it into the trap. Doh!. I can't set a conventional trap with the dogs. They'll get hurt. Any ideas? He's constantly barking at the back door to go out.
