Bev says:
This is a rather odd set of questions, stolen from MimiWrites
(Thanks for the suggestion from The Gal Herself)
1. How many gravy boats do you have in your kitchen? Two. I have two sets of china...my own and my grandmother's. Each set has a gravy boat.
2. Do the clothes in your laundry basket need ironing? Ha! The clothes in my closet probably need ironing. I very rarely iron anything. Possibly because it was one of my chores growing up and I had to iron darn near everything!
3. What is the last thing you wallpapered? The walls in what had been our son's bedroom after he moved out. He had done so much damage...stapling things to the walls, tossing a pocket knife at them, etc. Rather than replace the walls we papered with wall paper that was textured and mimicked plaster and that you then paint. It hid a multitude of sins.
4. Wooden floors or carpet? Wooden floors are pretty, but I kind of like the warmth of carpet...if you don't have kids, pets, or husbands who are going to ruin them!
5. Why do we put out guest towels if no one is supposed to use them? I don't put out guest towels or guest soaps for that matter.
6. If your spatula could talk, what would it say about your duvet? Why would my spatula have anything to say about my duvet? Wouldn't it have more to say about my crock pot or something in the kitchen? I don't have a duvet, by the way. In the winter I have a quilt, a blanket, and a sheet.
7. Have you replaced the batteries in your smoke alarms this year? No.
8. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you'd like to do? Thyme is rather yummy on a roast or a chicken.
9. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown? Okay, I'm seeing why you called these questions odd, Bev. Does it really matter what path they followed to end up scrambled?
10. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you? I'm mad that it's so darn tasty, but loaded with fat.
11. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters? I suppose they do spoon...isn't that where the term came from? And I've never noticed my wooden spoons having any splinters other than their own.
12. You hear: "Dumpling, my Dumpling, come hither." The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing.....but wait, the windows are open. Why did you close them? What on earth???
13. Do you need a recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef? A little of both.
14. Is your pot black? No, my big pot is red.
15. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so? I can't say that I've ever thought about the sex appeal of my spices.

Number 12 was crazy! Not sure I liked these questions.
ReplyDeleteWhat crazy questions! I will have to check out Sunday Stealing just to see the fun questions and answers!
ReplyDeleteI hate to iron, too. I own an iron but it is rarely used. Maybe once every two years!
ReplyDeleteWe have a duvet and when it gets so hot outside, we tend to only sleep under that. I am sure the duvet would say, "Hey folks, you know you have sheets right?" lolol
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day friend!
I enjoyed your answers today.
ReplyDeleteI hate to iron too.
Have a good Sunday.
#3 glad your room survived the teen years! #12, I know right? I can play along usually but even I was stymied by that one!
ReplyDeleteLeeAnna at not afraid of color
I agree. Ironing is no fun at all.
ReplyDelete#12 seemed to stump a lot of people. I was going for a creative storyline answer here....
These were some silly questions this week! LOL We don't have a duvet either, and I mentioned chicken with thyme, too. I closed the windows because the AC is on!! Ha! Have a good week ahead, Stacy!
ReplyDeleteAh, #4! That's what I was thinking when I had the carpet installed in 2001. You have no idea how HIDEOUS it is now.
ReplyDeleteProps to you for taking on these weird questions! Not sure I still own an iron. I did make a roast this morning with thyme and rosemary and Tom loved it. I know little-to-nothing about cooking with herbs, but should experiment more.
ReplyDelete#8 Thyme is really good on roasts. I have a recipe where you make a crust with thyme, and other herbs, but in the oven at 500° for a short period, then turn off the oven and don’t open for about 2 hours until it’s done.
