I'll pick my husband because he is my best friend.  He's probably the most generally content person I've ever met - I admire that & it has helped me a lot.

Will you be traveling anywhere this weekend?

Yes, I hope so.

Do you get milk delivered to your house in glass bottles?

That's our Cumbrian sheep - from by Coniston Water on our Cumbrian Way walk last June.  :)

Yes we do!  It's great!

Are you planting any garden this year?

OK, after hearing that I had to change my avatar too. :) Here are my weary hikers resting by Coniston Water in the summer of 2007.

Are you planting any garden this year?

No, I'm not much of a gardener I'm afraid.

Do you like wildflowers?

It was more of a show I guess - 5/8 at the 40 Watt in Athens GA, about 2 1/2 years ago!  I need to get out more.

My least favorite chore is vacuuming. It hurts my ears, so I have to wear ear plugs when I do it, which is just annoying.


Are you more of city or a country person?

I'm a little of both, definitely airing on the side of city. I can see myself both places, but I think too much country might drive me a bit nutty.

Have you read /all/ the books by one particular author you love?

Not all of them but all in a particular series :)

Yes, my dad used to make it when I was little, and I make it myself now.

Yes, but not as much as my DH is!

Do you like grits and if so - what do you have on them, if anything?

I LOVE grits!  I eat them plain with just a smidge of butter...mmmm grits and biscuits...

Have you ever had griades before?

I never have!  Looks good though!  :)

Hey person below me...Have you ever had to work the midnight shift before?


From a recipe site:

"Griads, an old New Orleans favorite, is spelled "grillades". That may be why you haven't located the recipe. They simply HAVE to be served over cheese grits! Here's how I cook mine:

2 lb veal, or round steak, or my favorite... boneless pork chops

salt & pepper

cayenne

2 T. cooking oil(or bacon drippings)

2 T. butter

2 T. plain flour

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

1 can whole Ro-Tel tomatoes & green chilis

1 T. chopped parsley

1/4 cup chopped shallots

1 cup chicken broth (or water)

1/4 t. thyme

1 bay leaf

1/2 t. Tabasco

I start by pounding the meat with a meat tenderizing mallet. I season it well(salt, pepper, cayenne). I then flour the meat(don't forget to season the flour). I brown the meat in a large skillet with cooking oil & butter. I then remove the meat from the skillet and brown the remainder of the flour, as in making a roux. I then saute' the trinity, 'til transparent, in the same. I then add the Ro-Tel tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and shallots. I add the chicken broth or water, stir, and gently place the browned meat back into the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil, stir again, cover and simmer for an hour, or until meat is tender."

I've never worked the midnight shift, and I've never met a grit I liked.  ;D

Ever changed a bicycle inner tube?
