A spicey hodgepodge

 


Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

June 10th is National Herbs and Spices Day. Besides salt and pepper what herb or spice container do you reach for most often? Is there a spice you truly dislike? What's a recent dish you made that called for more than salt and pepper?  

I never used spices much, Tim likes to add garlic to many things he cooks, the one that I do not like at all is pepper.

It's been said 'variety is the spice of life'...in what way is this true for you? Elaborate. 

I don’t think it does apply to me in any way.

What's something in your life that adds 'spice' (excitement, intensity) even if also comes with challenge or unpredictability? 

I would have to say having a transgender grandchild does add some spice to my life.

If you could instantly master one skill or hobby, what would it be and why? 

Knitting, I could never get the hang of it but have often wished I could.

We're halfway through the year...what's one book, movie, or activity you've loved this year that you'd recommend to others? 

I rarely watch movies and even though I like to read there is no particular book I want to read.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember they is power in gratitude; simple gratitude has the power to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. When you appreciate what you have, even the simplest moments become beautiful. Cultivate gratitude to enhance your daily experiences.

  1. I always wanted to learn to knit, and have tried a couple of times in my life but it didn't stick. Not sure I need more hobbies but that's a nice one to have because you can do it while watching TV. I can't sit and just watch TV. Hope you have a great day!

  2. I like pepper but too much of it can be awful. I finally taught myself to knit when I was probably 40 and enjoyed it, but once I felt like I'd "mastered" it to my satisfaction, I lost interest. I'm not proud of that. Hope your'e having a great week!
