Now, let's talk about food!

Frozen Yogurt Day!  A cold dessert on what must be a very cold day for most of you reading this today!   

Actually, no.  It's prematurely warm in these parts.  (Insert sad face.)

Do you enjoy frozen yogurt?  

If you're talking about the soft serve, yes!!!

Does it matter what the weather is?  

I'm afraid so.  I'm a seasonal eater, so frozen foods/beverages don't  sound appealing until June rolls around.

Share with us your favorite flavor and/or topping!  

No toppings, but I'll fight you for a peanut butter cone!

What food do you know you shouldn't eat but can't help yourself?

Speaking of peanut butter …..

Years ago I brought my jar of JIF on board a cruise.  One of my hubby's colleagues was delighted and asked, "Might I have a taste of your peanut paste?"  (They were from Australia.)

If you life was a meal, what kind of meal would it be?

Oh man, I can't decide!
It's a toss-up between an ordinary-but-comforting, pot-roast stew and this Hatch chili enchilada casserole.

 … a little sweet, somewhat smoky, more than a little spicy.

Do you like spicy food?  (Why or why not?)  What is the spiciest food you have ever eaten?  

Having grown up in New Mexico, yes.  I adore spicy food.  
The rudest food I've tasted, however, goes to jalapenos.   In my opinion they stun rather than enhance.

Because Terri has been sidelined with a bad cold, she asks:  What food do you eat or crave when you have a bad cold?

Nothing does the trick like matzo ball chicken soup.  Just thinking about that served at Lucky Dill in Palm Harbor is making my mouth water!

Please tell us something about your week!

Last Thursday at first light I dropped Tom at the airport … dashed home and changed the bedding, cleaned the bath, etc.   
When my BF Debbie arrived a few hours later, yes.  Our 5-day food fest began in earnest. :)    

First on the agenda was supper at Mellow Mushroom (win-win!).   Unfortunately, the next day's steak and eggs at WindCreek Casino were a huge disappointment.  (Don't you hate it when someone asks how you enjoyed the meal? - Then, when you tell them they act like they don't even care?!)  

Debbie had never been to a casino before!  I'm not especially fond of gaming, but she had a ball.

I was super excited to try Chicken Salad Chick.  12 - count 'em - different varieties of chicken salad!!!  While my choice (Lauryn's Lemon Basil) was delicious, I'd definitely enjoy it more in the summer months.

Of course, a visit to Jackson Lake Island and the old movie set was a must!

Concerned what to feed their resident goat population, I assured the caretaker my box of whole wheat crackers was unsalted.  He just laughed and laughed and said they'd 'ravage' us for whatever we had to share.

Due to Debbie's limited mobility, her inability to walk very far or do stairs, our tourism options were few ... but we more than made up for it by yakking and chortling for hours on end -- even ridiculing each other's food choices. 

Ironic!  She and I are practically polar opposites; and haven't in all the years, actually spent that much one-on-one time together.   Never having had a sister or a nearby friend in so many years, I've grown accustomed to living a solitary-but-happy lifestyle with Y'ALL here in Blogville.  Tom's a dear, but it's different, you know?
  
Anywho!  Debbie left yesterday and a few hours later Tom's plane arrived.  (The dogs are so confused!)  Not to push the envelope, but I want to check-out costs for a pet-friendly VRBO near St. Pete or Sarasota later this year.

It's all good .. but I've missed you!
As ever, thanks for visiting … be safe!

Hugs,

Myra
