Joyce has a new set of questions to get our brains going for Wednesday Hodgepodge.
1. It’s National Cheese Day (June 4)…does anyone not like cheese? What’s your favorite? Last thing you ate or made with cheese?
We do keep cheese around and enjoy it. I enjoy sharp cheddar, gouda, swiss and a specialty cheese thrown in here and there. The last thing I ate with cheese was a cheese and meat roll-up. Not too exciting. We enjoy Mexican food that seems to have a lot of cheese. Cheese filled Blintzes or cheese filled Vareniki are my favorites. We do enjoy a good cheesecake, too.
2. Last time you were instructed to ‘say cheese!’? How do you feel about having your picture taken?
This probably happened the weekend we were on the other side of the mountains with our ‘coast’ kids. I’m okay with having my photo taken digitally since we can see the results immediately and know right away if we need a re-do! 🙂
3. What’s your travel packing strategy? Are you typically a light packer or do you throw in everything but the kitchen sink?
Depends on where we are going and the form of transportation. If we are driving somewhere I’m not concerned with throwing in everything we might need on the trip. When we are traveling internationally the strategy is totally different. We try to take as little as possible and only take one small rolling bag and a backpack. We purchased smaller lighter weight bags with great rolling ease for our last trip overseas and didn’t regret it.
When flying do you check a bag or aim for carry on only?
We generally are okay with checking a bag when traveling. When there are connecting flights we try to carry-on so our bags don’t get sent off to a different location than our final destination.
4. What is it about people’s cell phone habits that you find most annoying?
It is annoying when people talk loudly on their phones in a restaurant or other indoor public space.
5. What will be your summer mantra/slogan?
Eat less, exercise more.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
The end of this week we are participating in a group garage sale and I’ve been busy pricing our stuff for that. Today we deliver all of our stuff to the site and set things up. Having a group that trades shifts to man the sale is a huge bonus. Continuing in the process of downsizing our stash of stuff has great rewards. I’ll be slow getting around to everyone this week.
Happy June, Hodgepodgers!
