today after coming back from a bike ride to a new friend’s house…

9 year old: Mom, I’m getting more popular since I’m hanging out with Parker.

Gosh I remember when he didn’t know what popular meant.

Food meme

I saw this fun thing on Lisanne’s blog and thought since I haven’t had a lot to say lately, I’d join in on the fun!

1. How do you like your eggs? I like them scrambled, but I really like them scrambled with sausage, ham, and/or cheese mixed in like my hubby fixes. 🙂

2. How do you take your coffee/tea?I’m not a coffee drinker at all. As for tea, I don’t drink much of that either, but when I do I like sweet tea. I’m from the South and that’s the only way we drink it down here.

3. Favorite breakfast food: Well, it really depends on the situation. On the weekends my hubby fixes breakfast usually. He makes scrambled eggs with stuff mixed in like I mentioned earlier. I also like pancakes and now that we have one of those hotel waffle makers, I enjoy making the waffles. It’s so easy with one of those. You can’t go wrong. If it’s a weekday and I’m in a hurry, I have to eat something every morning regardless, and I like granola bars if I’m trying to be healthy. If not, I love those little chocolate donuts. I can eat half a bag in one sitting.

4. Peanut butter – smooth or crunchy? I like both, but most of the time I use smooth. When I’m feeling like something different, I’ll get some crunchy.

5. What kind of dressing on your salad? I don’t have an absolute favorite, but Ranch and Italian are my good old standbys. I like different types of vinaigrette. I enjoy trying “house” dressing and different restaurants.

6. Coke or Pepsi? Coke all the way baby! I used to try and get whatever was cheaper even though I prefer Coke. But last summer, I got some Pepsi and I found that it goes flat before I’m even done drinking it. So now I drink only Coke, of course it’s Diet Coke. The fact that I have stock in Coke, doesn’t have any effect on my decision:-)

7. You’re feeling lazy, what do you make? Hamburger Helper

8. You’re feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order? Pepperoni or pepperoni & sausage. If it were just me, I’d get Supreme, but the fam doesn’t go for that!

9. You feel like cooking. What do you make? I enjoy trying new recipes from All Recipes and Rachel Ray. I also have my Cooking Blog, where I put recipes that I find and want to try or ones that I love and want to keep cooking.

10. Do any foods bring back good memories? Yes, everytime I make Sausage Balls, I think of my Granddad, who was a very creative cook. I always loved helping him make those Sausage Balls and he was so meticulous in making sure we hand mixed it to perfection.

9. Do any foods bring back bad memories? Hmm…canned spinach. My Grandmother forced me to eat even after I told her it would make me sick. She told me I wouldn’t get up until I ate it. I took one bite, swallowed, and then spewed it back up. She never made me eat it again. 🙂

10. Do any foods remind you of someone? See above.

11. Is there a food you refuse to eat? I cannot stomach Canned Spinach.

12. What was your favorite food as a child? Chocolate chip cookies and ice cream and usually anything my Granny and my Great Aunt Sue cooked

13. Is there a food that you hated as a child but now like? Brussel sprouts

14. Is there a food that you liked as a child but now hate? I wouldn’t say I HATE this now, but I sure wouldn’t beg for it now like I used to and that Chicken and dumplins.

15. Favorite fruit and vegetable: Bananas and corn

16. Favorite junk food: Chocolate anything! If I’m in the mood for salty, I usually do Cheese crackers or Peanut butter crackers.

17. Favorite between meal snack: Banana, apple, graham crackers, string cheese, if I’m trying to be health conscious. If not, it’s chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate chip cookies, or ice cream.

18. Do you have any weird food habits? My hubby makes fun of me because I look at my food after I put it on my fork. I thought everyone did that, but I guess the way I do it is odd.

19. You’re on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on? fruit, salad, non-carb like foods. haha

20 . You’re off your diet. Now what would you like? Chocolate! Pizza! As many carbs as I can get a hold of.

21. How spicy do you order Indian/Thai? I LOVE spicy. I’m from Texas, so grew up with salsa and spicy stuff, so bring it on.

22. Can I get you a drink? Strawberry Margaritas are usually my first choice. I like the fruity stuff.

23. Red wine or white? white

24. Favorite dessert? Chocolate chip cookies, chocolate candy, chocolate turtle ice cream

25. The perfect nightcap? Milk

Best concert ever…

Last night was AWESOME! I’ve never enjoyed a concert as much as this one. Foreigner was great as usual and did an abbreviated show that we saw back in June. Styx was ok. Nothing too spectacular there and it was quite upsetting to TV Boy that they didn’t play Mr. Roboto. Def Leppard rocked the house! They were just amazing. Lights and camera work added to the music that brought goosebumps and lots of memories for me. It was touching to see Rick Allen, the one armed drummer, who played bare footed and didn’t miss a beat. By the 3rd or 4th song Phil and Viv had taken their shirts off. HOT!!! Joe and Sav haven’t changed a bit. Here’s the set list for you fans out there:
Rocket
Animal
Excitable
Foolin’
Mirror, Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)
Another Hit And Run
Love Bites
Rock On
Two Steps Behind
Bringin’ On The Heartbreak
Switch 625
Hysteria
Armageddon It
Photograph
Pour Some Sugar On Me
———————————–
Rock Of Ages

My favorites from the concert were Foolin’, Hysteria, and Photograph. Two Steps Behind and Bringing on the Heartbreak where done accoustically, but the latter ended as a rocker, which I loved.

As for Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater, we had uncovered seats, which allowed for breeze, which was nice, but the facility has not been kept up well and not that great of a place to see a concert. They take only cash for souvenirs and food, so if you go there bring your CASH not credit.

Regardless, it was awesome and I’m SO glad we went.

So can’t wait for the concert. On the way home I was able to pick up an Atlanta station and they were interviewing James Young from
Styx
and they played all Styx music. I’m SO pumped! Not so loving the fact we’ll be outside for the concert and hope it comes down out of the 100’s. We’ll see. I’ll let you know how it goes.
