Wednesday Hodgepodge

Wednesday! Time for hodgepodge over at Joyce's - From This Side of the Pond.


1. The NFL playoffs were held this past weekend and this year's Superbowl will feature the New York Giants versus The New England Patriots. How do you define 'patriot'?

A person who openly loves his/her country and is willing to serve that country in any way they can.

2. What's something in your life right now that feels like a 'giant'?

Trying to figure out the details of getting to England to see my grandson when he gets here - financially, when, work, school.........................

3. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think back to being 18?

Young and dumb!

4. Coconut-mashed potatoes-vanilla ice cream-mayonnaise...which white food would be the hardest to give up?

I'd have to say potatoes - they are one of my main go to staples - you can do so many things with them.

5. Describe an incident or a day you remember as being the coldest you've ever experienced.

The winter of 1977 when I was going to ISU - wind chills were -70 and I had to walk all the way across campus to classes - I'll never forget it.

6. You're hosting a brunch....what's your favorite dish to prepare and serve?

Meatballs! So easy and everybody loves them.

7. How do you combat negative thinking?

I simple tell myself that I don't have time for that and try to ignore it.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 
Looks like a busy weekend stacking up for me - have to write 2 papers and do an online test in one class - not sure what has to be done for the other yet. Saturday night we're having a benefit at the VFW that I have to work which seriously cuts into my time. Oh well - that's life!

  1. Meatballs are yummy, so I'll invite myself over. I am so glad that I don't have to deal with extreme cold here. Once I get cold, I just can't get warm.

  8. I hope your England trip works out! We've had a mild winter so far here in the Northeast. All these answers to the cold questions are reminding me how lucky we are not to be having our usual frigid temps with piles of snow!
