When I can't think of what to write, I look in my "Drafts" folder for an unfinished post. This one is a meme I started writing a year ago. The survey was longer. It only took me several decades to realize that I don't have to answer every question. It's not like I'm filling out a job application to be me.

DeleteI look forward to going through it with you, Cali pal!
ReplyDeleteYou moving to the mainland seemed to have helped. :-)
DeleteI like leg of lamb, but haven't had any in ages. I'm looking forward to the Presidential election being over. It goes on for soooo long.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to get longer each year. This time I can see that it was a good thing the campaigning began last year. It allows for a lot of weeding out.
DeleteI've seen every version of Pride and Prejudice too.
ReplyDeleteNo brain on a dinner plate for me either. I will have to find wild mustard greens. They sound intriguing.
I'm not sure if I want to see the new one coming out -- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Sounds too creepy. The best wild mustard greens are the ones you can pick yourself. They grow wild in orchards.
DeleteOn jobs....you had sex with tomatoes? nyuk, nyuk
ReplyDeleteIt sounds strange but I used to do that too when I was in college
.....horticulture.
You won't eat lamb? Good, my fav....more for me. Ha
I love your fancy slippers.
Thank you.
DeleteI didn't do tomatoes. Cabbage, zucchini, corn, cucumbers, and pumpkins. The cucumbers were the toughest ones to do. I was pretty much sprawled on the ground on foggy mornings. It was a great job to have as a teenager. :-)
Well phooey! I should have gotten recommendations from you on where to eat in San Francisco...
ReplyDeleteIt's been over 12 years since I've lived in the Bay Area so I'm pretty clueless about places to eat. :-)
DeleteCello! ... the sound goes right through my ribcage and straight into my heart.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see how my playing goes. :-)
DeleteTaking cello is neat. My brother ate brain when he was a kid. I think he was forced to, or more like he didn't want to disappoint his Aunt and Uncle. I would have disappointed them for sure-blecchhhh. One day I will be in Florence, Italy
ReplyDeleteYour brother was a brave soul. I probably would've hidden it in my napkin. The Mama got me to try brain when I was a kid. Shudder.
