The Friday Feast and Other Food Rambling

Happy Friday!

THE FRIDAY FEAST

Appetizer
Using only one word, how does grocery shopping make you feel?

Broke.

Soup
What is your favorite part about the season of Autumn?

NO BUGS. I love that after that first freeze that kills all the plants and makes everything dull and brown, there are not biting bugs. Mosquitoes? Gone!! WOO! OTOH, I can't think of one other thing I like about Autumn, mostly because it means winter is coming. Ugh.

Salad
Have you ever had any bad experiences online?

Not really -- though once, long ago, I posted a picture of my daughter on the blog (and never will again) and got a really icky comment from some sleazeball about it. I deleted the comment, pulled the picture, and swore I'd never post another of her in any kind of public forum.

Main Course
Name three things that make you happy daily.

My daughter, my dog and lots of sunshine!

Dessert
What one household cleansing or organizing item would you not want to be without?

Cleaning would be all-purpose cleanser. Or the vacuum. Or a sponge. Hmmm....Nope, can't choose just one. Sorry.

======================

A couple of days ago, I bought some Digiorno Garlic Bread Crust pizza. Oh. My. Word. -- this pizza is so good, it's sinful. Yes, it drips butter (oil?) and has to weigh about fifteen pounds. But, yum. I highly recommend it. Especially if you have a vampire problem. Because, yes, it gives you dragon breath.

=====================

I feel really awful about something I did to poor Rose, in Pillar Place: Swallowtail P2 -- she pulled a Phil on me. I guess she was inspired by Martin's roaming for a perfect pupa place, and started a walkabout before she was ready. I figured she was all done, and I dumped the food.

Later that day, I saw her on the floor of the box, eating old, dried up bits of carrot greens. I can't express to you how really rotten I felt! I ran to the garden and snipped some greens and laid them next to her. You've never seen a pillar move so fast. ((hangs head)) Poor Rose.

In Pillar Place: Monarch P2, DD found yet another butterbaby. That brings the current total to eight. And if they don't make their chrysalis's soon and hatch, I'm going to end up having to drive them south because it'll be too cold to release them here. What on earth were their mothers' thinking?

I may have done this already... but, in keeping with the food theme:

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable. You pull punches, but people still love you.
