Four Foods on Friday #115

1. What kind of olive oil do you use?
Generally I use whatever is on sale for sauteing, pan frying, etc. My friend just gave me a bottle of olive oil that she got in Italy and I also use olive oil from this local store called Seasons for special applications like putting on grilled and roasted veggies, salads, vinaigrettes, finishing sauces, etc.

2. Do you prefer salted or unsalted butter?
I personally like unsalted butter, a must for baking, but my parents generally also buy salted for eating on bread and other things.

3. What size eggs do you usually buy?
Generally the large or extra large for eating, medium or large for baking.

4. What’s in the bottom drawer of your fridge?
Two drawers with fruits and veggies.

The Weekly Musing #10

It’s been almost a year since a new TWM was posted on this site, so I’m bringing it back. New questions will be posted any time during the week, not just on Sunday, and I will try to give a day or two notice before posting a new set of questions. Please comment if you answer any TWM questions on your blog. If you don’t know what The Weekly Musing is, feel free to check out a brief description of what it’s about by clicking here. Otherwise, let’s get things started

The Weekly Musing #10

  • Are you taking a vacation this summer? If so, where are you going? If not, where would you like to go?
  • What was your favourite summertime activity as a child?
  • Do you prefer to swim in a pool or the ocean?
  • Where is your favourite place to shop for summer clothes?
  • Name the three things that are essential to bring with you when you go to the beach or pool.

Feel free to comment with your responses and/or repost the Musing on your own page. I look forward to reading what you have to say!

Friday Fill-Ins #165

1. A cup of tea makes me feel all warm inside.
2. Nice-smelling candles and cookies baking in the oven makes a place feel like home.
3. Everything has its beauty, even though sometimes it is hard to see.
4. Do you like the taste of strawberries in the summer?
5. Art makes me stop and appreciate the brush strokes and small little details.
6. LOL I just noticed I forgot to buy my book for Spanish so I can read it this weekend, but now I’m snowed in. Oops.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to trying to get out of my driveway to go to school for sorority recruitment (but I don’t think that’s gonna happen), tomorrow my plans include sorority recruitment (?), and Sunday I want to get ready for Tuesday and the Flogging Molly concert!

Friday Fill-Ins #163

1. Pickles are good, but I like the garlic kind the best.
2. I hate being stuck at home when there is a snow storm, like there was for the better part of this week.
3. The snow is cold, wet, and unpleasant.
4. Wild animals are found in nature.
5. It’s 5:16 PM; that means I’m probably preparing to make dinner sometime soon, or I’m driving home from school. It depends on the day.
6. A good friend is hard to find.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing, tomorrow my plans include studying for a million tests (because that is fun, right?) and Sunday, I want to pile the snow back across my driveway so I have an excuse not to go to classes on Monday.

Four Foods On Friday #99

1. How do drink your hot chocolate? Marshmallows? From boxed or scratch?
I try to make it from scratch every so often because it tastes so much better, but I also have some Godiva hot chocolate on hand that is a good substitute for scratch. I like mine with whipped cream or marshmallows, depending on my mood. :yummy;

2. Do you prefer cider hot or cold?
Cold.

3. Do you like egg nog?
Yes, every once in a while. I find that if I buy a pint of it, though, I never drink the entire container; one or two small glasses is usually enough, then I am good on it for the rest of the season, lol.

4. How do you make punch?
We used to make punch all of the time on New Years Eve at my house using lemon-lime soda, fruit punch, frozen fruit, and a container of sherbert.
