Jun. 4th, 2024 07:15 am4. Is yoghurt part of your diet? Have you ever made your own yoghurt?
Yes, plain Greek nonfat yogurt with berries (or pineapple or peaches) and homemade granola is a breakfast staple for us. I have made my own yogurt before (I had a little machine that did it, but it did not make enough.) Once K retires, I hope to make my own again using the steam oven.

Feb. 6th, 2024 02:25 pm3. What's your favourite way to cook/serve carrots on this Carrot Cake Day?
I like carrots a lot; in braised meat dishes, roasted, grated in a carrot salad and carrot cake, of course.
4. It's British Yorkshire Pudding Day. Have you ever had Yorkshire puddings and have you ever made them?
Yes, I have made them quite a few times. Usually at Christmas if I am making a roast beef/prime rib.
5. World Nutella Day - yay or nay on the chocolatey nutty spread (and what do you spread it on, or do you spoon it from the jar?)
I like Nutella ok, but prefer other cocoa-hazelnut spreads. I like it mixed into things like cookies or spread on a graham cracker.

Oct. 5th, 2023 01:25 pm5 – Global James Bond Day: Are you a Bond fan (either books or films or both)? Who is your favourite Bond actor? Do you have a favourite Bond theme song?
Not particularly. I honestly have not seen enough of them to make a call. I liked Daniel Craig in the one movie (the first one) that I saw of his. I like Adele's "Skyfall."

Oct. 3rd, 2023 04:11 pm3 – Virus Appreciation Day: OK, so it's been almost three years since Covid rocked the world. Is there ANYTHING you appreciate about that particular virus — well, maybe not the virus itself, but the impact it had on workplace arrangements, or social norms, etc.?
I like that more places have take-out and outdoor dining and that reservations are accepted for almost anything and anywhere, but not exactly a good trade off. Most work places hear have gone back to pre-COVID and demand that everyone be in the office.

Sep. 14th, 2023 10:19 am14 – Live Creative Day: Live Creative Day encourages us to let the world see our creativity all day long. How can you bring more creativity into your daily tasks, either at work, or at home?
I enjoy cooking and baking (although with K working out of town, doing that for fun has taken a hit.) I also very much enjoy decorating and planning home renovation (the living through it; not so much.)
