Meet Me on Monday #33

Monday, January 31st, 2011 | General with 6 Comments

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme. Here goes…

1. What do you put on your hot dog?
Ketchup and chili if available.

2. Do you play Sudoku?
Heck ya. One of my friends even bought me a Rubik’s cube suduko. I still haven’t put it back to normal. I think if each side had colors along with the numbers it might be easier but for now I just have 3 sides done.

3. What is your favorite vegetable?
I like so many vegetables but if I have to choose I’d say broccoli.

4. Do you color your hair?
Heck ya, the grays won’t color themselves.

5. What is your favorite brand of clothing?
I don’t have a favorite brand. In fact, I despise shopping and my coworker does a lot of it for me. But clothing in general – just give me some shorts and a t-shirt and I’m golden.

1. Bananas. Do you think the smaller ones are sweeter?
Nope. I think they become more sweeter as they age. I prefer my bananas with some green on them.

2. Watermelon. Do you think that if the outside is darker green that it means the watermelon is sweeter?
Yes I do because they are more ripe. Watermelon is high in potassium though so be careful and not to over eat.

3. Grapes. Do you think the round globe shaped ones are sweeter than the more ovalish shaped ones?
I actually don’t like the globe grapes because they have seeds. I think the purple ones are the sweetest, then the red, and then the green ones.

4. Pears. Do canned pears taste completely different than fresh pears?
I’m not that big of a pear eater so I couldn’t tell you one way or the other.

Spice it Up

This post brought to you by TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

Time for the superbowl and your choices this year include the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm hoping the Packers win because I've never been a fan of the Steelers even before Big Ben got into all of his trouble. Now aside from actually watching the game food plays a HUGE part in the festivities. At least when I go places it does. We have a big fan fair of food we make and bring with us or order in. TABASCO® Original Red also plays a big part because of its spicy taste. Now I'm not sure about you folks but a Game-Day Party Menu does not happen without some wings and pizza. We order the wings from our local restaurant to take with us unless we watch the game there. Now the order for these wings is hot but not just hot. Hotter than hot and make it interesting. Only one guy has been up to the task when we started seeing red pepper flakes as well as jalapeno's in the hot sauce. But you need the Tabasco to get the right flavoring. I personally like sprinkling some Tabasco on my pizza to make the Pizza Perfected.

If you have never tried Tabasco give it a whirl because it is not truly hot like you might think. It's a wonderful blend of flavors (salt, red pepper, and vinegar) that makes anything taste that much better. Heck, I even dip celery in it. Lay off of the red pepper in the chili just a little bit and add some Tabasco. I've got all sorts of idea people but what are your best combinations?

Some final words: GO PACK GO!

1. What is your favorite kind of fudge?
I’d prefer dark chocolate fudge with nuts but I don’t think it’s made because I’ve never found any.

2. Is there snow outside your window?
Nope, one of the perks in the south 99.9% of the time.

3. What is your favorite meal of the day?
If I had the time everyday I’d say breakfast. I love eggs and bacon.

4. Do you text on your cell phone?
Do bears sh*t in the woods? Hails ya.

5. Waffles or pancakes?
Actually I’m not partial to either but if I must choose I’ll pick pancakes without any syrup what so ever.

What product do you wish a brand would come out with based on something it already makes?

I was just mentioning this the other day. I buy the Smart Ones frozen meals for lunch and sometimes a quick meal before the gym at night and if they could just sell the alfredo sauce in a jar I’d be ever grateful.

1. Do you like your ice cream in a dish, waffle cone, pretzel cone, sugar cone or cake cone?
Most of the time a dish because I don’t usually keep any of that on hand, even the ice cream.

2. Do you read the newspaper daily?
I’ll read what I can with the local newspaper online but not everyday.

3. Marinara or meat sauce?
Meat sauce and honestly the more meat the better.

4. Last time you cried?
Just the other day when a friend died of cancer.

5. What word/phrase do you find really annoying?
I can’t think of any off hand at this point but I’m sure there are some out there.
