1. April 22nd is Earth Day...what's the most 'out of this world' place on earth you've ever visited? Tell us something about it.
2. A favourite quote, verse, or song lyric with the word earth in it?
Well I had to do some googling for this but I quite like Michael Jackson's Earth song as appropriate for Earth Day. But for something more cheerful I'd go for Heaven is a place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle.
3. What's the most trivial thing about which you have a strong opinion?
Putting things back where they belong. I hate things being out of place so that I can't find them. I commented on Monday about my dustpan and brush being missing. It's usually in the cupboard under the kitchen sink but it is missing. It has to be somewhere but it's proving elusive.
4. What's your most commonly used kitchen utensil or tool? What's the last thing you made using that tool?
Our air fryer gets used most days. It was used for bacon this morning.
5. Marilyn (Memphis Bridges) gave me a great book of 3000 questions, and I'm going to try to use one in our Hodgepodge every week. Here is today's -
What is your greatest extravagance?
Not sure it was my greatest extravagance but I can remember the first time I bought a brand new car that it was probably not the best move given how much a car goes down in value as soon as you drive it away from the dealer.
I also spent more to get my engagement ring repaired recently than the ring cost when new but I'd managed to lose a diamond from it and the setting needed repairing too. That was worth every penny though.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Our flights are booked. We're heading to Vermont in June!
Sure wish your plane could land in Florida before you get to Vermont!! How nice to have those plans with your family here in the USA!! Joyce gave us another fun Hodgepodge! I go in spurts with my air fryer, but now I want to try bacon in it! Sending a hug!
ReplyDeleteI loved visiting the Norwegian Fjords. And yes, some of them felt very "out of this world." I hope your dustpan and brush show up soon!
ReplyDeleteOOOH Vermont in June is wonderful!!! My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Stowe Vermont one June......
ReplyDeleteWhat town will you be in? I live about 45-60 min (depending on the traffic) west of Bennington.
I've hiked in the Brattleboro Vermont area which is near the border of New Hampshire.
I really enjoyed your answers to the hodgepodge!
Oh, Vermont will be a lovely escape in June. We are leaving for London on Saturday and I have packed/unpacked/repacked my bags at least 4x. Going to start from scratch tomorrow!! My hubs says we have use carry-ons and the weather is still coat-worthy cold over there. So I need layers.
ReplyDeleteI bought an air fryer without much hope of using it often but we use ours, too. I have an Instapot that I never, ever use. Need to put it in our upcoming garage sale.
The Belinda Carlisle song is fun. Was glad to be reminded of it.
