another FFOF

Because, if I don't do this now, I never will.

FFOF questions #18

#1. Steak. Plain, steak sauce, hot sauce, ketchup or something else?

Plain, with salt and pepper.

#2. Water. Flavored, plain, carbonated. How do you like it?

Plain, cold and lots of ice.

#3. What’s your favorite kind of waffle?

I like plain waffles, with butter and corn syrup poured on top

#4. If you could have any one new small appliance for your kitchen what would it be and why?

I think I would like a food saver, because I just like the idea of them.

FFOF

The other responses are up, I do have to say that as I read the list I thought; "I like that too, and that one, and that sounds yummy...".

so, where did I miss this?

My non-existent parenting handbook failed to inform me that a three year old can get night terrors... it has been a surprise, each and every time.

A very special gift

My husband is not a citizen (yes, he is legally here), in order to open a dialog about American politics I offered him my vote... I would vote his choice.
It was a tough thing for me, I have never missed an election, and in a way I feel like I missed this one... in the end however, he chose a primary candidate I could live with.
I am honored that he took it so seriously, that it was something we talked about and thought about. In some ways, giving him this little thing that he could not yet do, brought us closer together.
I have respected the American right to vote since before my very first election (which was way back in 80's).
I gave him my sticker. I am thrilled he wears it proudly.
