Sunday Fun Meme


I'm participating in some random meme of questions that I saw on a fellow blogger's site. Linda always makes me laugh and I enjoy her posts.......thought I'd participate in today's. 

Do you own a crock pot, air fryer, and/or instapot?
Yes to the crockpot.  I don't own the other 2

Do you leave said small appliance sitting out? 
No, I have my slow cooker (aka crockpot) in the bottom cabinet next to my dishwasher.....it fits!

How often do you use it/them?  I probably use the slow cooker about twice a week, sometimes more...it all depends on my week!
I particularly like it on days I'm going to be out of town and might not get home until close to 6 pm. 


Favorite thing to make in one of these?  I typically make various stews, pasta dishes, rice dishes, soups in the slow cooker. 
 

Do you have a favorite brand? Explain. (i'm assuming the creator of this meme means in relation to crockpots, etc but I'll also do what Linda did.....) 

Fave brand of Slow Cooker/Crockpot is The Cuisinart Digital.  It has a high, low, simmer, and warm setting and each setting is for up to 8 hours. I LOVE it.  AND the inner dish is removable for easy clean up. 


Skin brand- for body (shower gel and lotion):  The Body Shop, Satsuma; for facial cleanser: Pacifica; for foundation:  Clinique

Hair- Paul Mitchell; Not Your Mother's Green Tea and Apple Blossom

Styling products:  Paul Mitchell



When was your first date and do you recall their name and where you went and what you did?

Oh boy. My first official date was when I was 14 yrs old and living in central NYS.  A boy named David. We met in the McDonald's parking lot; he bought me fries and hot cocoa.  We kissed. Then went ice skating. 


Do you have any memories of your first job? I started working at age 12 and babysat for 3 specific families almost every Fri or Sat night, especially during the Spring and Summer, and often in the school months. My first "Official Job" (not counting  the babysitting) was for the town.  I was a toddler pool lifeguard. Keep in mind my swimming skills sucked.  And I wasn't a certified lifeguard. But that's Herkimer, NY for ya!! HAHAHA

What do you think of hot dogs? I refuse to put that type of toxic food in my body. I haven't had one since my mid-30s. I don't say anything bad to people who choose to eat them..that's their business. We'll let the consequences speak for themselves. hahah


In a social setting, are more of talker or a listener? It depends on the social setting.  With work related events (like my husband's company xmas parties, etc) I tend to be more of a wallflower.  I despise engaging in small talk.  With my circle of friends I tend to be an extrovert. With family events, I tend to be an extrovert who very quickly needs some alone time. 

Doing today:

Heading to church soon for the 11 AM service. Possibly having oldest daughter over for a Japanese stir fry dinner. Watching a Netflix movie cause it is COLD out.  Sunny but COLD. Only 14 when I got up at 7 AM!

I am looking at: I've been looking through old photos of when my small group hosted a family beach BBQ at a lake about 2 hours north of us (Schroon Lake).  Such a blast!   This photo is July 2013. 

our good friends on the beach!
l-r:  Dave with his wife Hope; Bob with his wife Carla; and my hubby Dave
Missing from the picture:  Kathy and Chuck and all of our kids who were young teens or in high school (they were off kayaking or swimming or something) 


Have a wonderful Sunday!!
