Adventures in Blogging: Hodgepodge Wednesday Vol. 89

Happy Wednesday! Still hard at work in the basement, and working on another update for you all, but in the meantime, I just love answering these fun questions from 

1. I included this quote (attributed to William H. Danforth) in my blog post yesterday... "The best cure for a sluggish mind is to disturb it's routine." When was the last time you 'disturbed your routine' and how'd you do it?
Sometimes my mind feels sluggish when I am at work - entering and checking information on the computer and make me very sleepy sometimes! Sometimes what I do to feel less sluggish is to get up out of my chair and do some stretches or arm swings - this gets my blood pumping again and my mind feels more alert!

2. What's your favorite fried food indulgence?
I am not a huge fried food person...I would have to say french fries. Oooo! Or the other day I made zucchini french fries - they were yummy. Wait! Doughnuts. Yep, apple cider doughnuts. That is my favorite fried food indulgence. Oh, I can't wait for apple picking and apple cider doughnuts!

3. Did you have an allowance as a kid? What did you do with it? Do you give your own kids an allowance?
I don't remember having an allowance...I do remember when I was in middle school and high school I had a budget for each month that I would use to but things I needed like deodorant, make-up, shampoo, ext. At the end of the month, if I had money left over, I got to keep it!

4. What's something you wish you knew more about?
I wish I knew more about other cultures and countries (and that I could learn about them by traveling!)

5. Is there anything you feel too old to do anymore? If so, what?
Not that I can think of...actually there are lots of things that I think I am still young enough to do, but I don't have time or just don't want to.

6. What's a song you think has a great first line?
Martina McBride ~ I Just Call You Mine 

This was the song we danced our first dance to at our wedding!

7. Who are you writing to/for when you create a blog post? In other words...as you write, who is the audience in your head? 
It depends on the type of post. For recipes I usually keep in mind both cooks who need Gluten Free recipes and people who don't. For most of my other posts I am thinking of my friends (blog and otherwise) and family. 

8. Insert your own random thought here.
I wanted to post a recipe for Tator Tot Hotdish today that I made last night, but I forgot to take pictures before a group of hungry men who were helping in our basement last night gobbled it all up!
