2. What task-sport-chore-hobby-activity have you participated in or completed, that if judged, would land you a perfect 10? Check out my post from yesterday about cheese straws! I'm usually VERY CRITICAL of myself but I think my cheese straws deserve a big 10!

4. Nine times out of ten I _speak before I think -- but God is still working on me.
5. Where were you when the world stopped turning, twenty years ago this week? I was at the gym on a treadmill and everyone in the gym slowly got off/down from the equipment and made our way to stand in front of the TV in total silence.
6. Insert your own random thought here. As I'was cooking for the young professionals that show up at our house on Tuesday nights, I opened the packages of pork tenderloin and almost freaked out. I thought there was something wrong with them. I grabbed the wrapper and READ IT . . .and it said "topped with smoked applewood bacon." There were tiny cubes all over one side of the pork tenderloins and I thought something bad had happened! I've never bought this one before. I'll have to let y'all know how it tastes.
Oh, that's funny about the tenderloin. I tend to be suspicious about my food's appearance, too. Your List of 10 is so good ... I want to do that, too.
ReplyDeleteThe tenderloin was actually delicious! It was juicy and full of flavor! I'd love to read your list of 10!!
DeleteVery good list, your granddaughters are so cute! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeletethank you so much! We, of course, think they are cute :-).
DeleteAhh, fun list with those photos of your dear grands! Clean windows are so good. Hope that tenderloin is delicious.
ReplyDeleteDarling grands!! Loved your list and I'll look forward to hearing about the pork roast. I do love Applewood smoked bacon! xo
ReplyDeleteI would say your cheese straws are a 10. Course I might need to taste them to be sure : ) I've never bought the bacon pork tenderloin, but have bought other seasoned tenderloins (we love the black pepper/garlic one) so hoping this was tasty too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I can't imagine being among those strangers at the gym when the news broke on the TV about the first plane crashing into the WTC. Did people hug or hold each other? Comfort each other? I felt a bit uncomfortable watching the events unfold with my principal/administrator. I wanted to cry but felt uncomfortable doing so around her.
ReplyDeleteCheese straws, not sure what those are. But will investigate. Glad yours were a successful endeavor. Yay you!! I am very hard on myself but finally in my old age becoming a little kinder.
