The Sewing Mom

It’s been so busy around here this month I’ve barely had time to keep up with anything, including this blog.  I’m trying, but I’m also staring at a family room that truly needs cleaning, so I’m going to post my favorite meme, Four Foods on Friday and then start some house cleaning! I was actually let off early from work this morning, so I’m going to do my best to make the most of it.

Here are this weeks questions and my answers.

1. What’s your favorite flavor of Italian Ice? I actually don’t know if I’ve ever had an Italian ice!

2. Watermelon. So you prefer seeded or seedless? I prefer seedless, but sometimes they don’t have as much flavor.

3. Ice cream. Do you prefer soft serve or hard? I prefer hard most of the time, but a good soft serve cone is pretty tasty now & then!

4. Ice pops. What kind is your favorite? I love the red ones and the purple too.

Valmg is doing some updating to her blog and also making some possible changes to this meme. Don’t forget to visit her and leave her a link if you’re going to participate!

This week has flown by and I can’t believe it’s Friday! I have to work both days of the weekend, so I’m not really celebrating the end of the week, however, it is still time for my favorite meme and so, here it is.

This weeks questions and my answers:

#1. Coffee. Do you use ground, bean or pods? I use whole bean and grind one bag at a time. A bag usually lasts us about a week and a half.

#2. Coffee filters. Do you use paper, gold or other? I use filters made from recycled paper.

#3. Tea. Do you prefer tea bags, loose tea or something else? I always use tea bags, I’m not good at measuring tea to get it the right strength.

#4. Share a recipe for something you like to eat with coffee or tea. Well, my favorite thing to eat with coffee is probably the frosted lemon pound cake at Starbucks. I’ve never actually made it myself though. I don’t even like the coffee at Starbucks, but will occasionally get a cafe mocha latte there though.

Today is the end of a very stressful week of training on my new job. Two more weeks to go and then I’ll be working from home which will at least alleviate the stress of the commute to and from work!

To celebrate that it’s Friday, I’m kicking it off with my favorite meme, Four Foods on Friday sponsored by Valmg of Fun, Crafts and Recipes. To participate, just head on over to her blog and check it out, it’s super easy!

This week’s questions and my answers:

#1. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever made with bread? Well, most people probably wouldn’t think it was odd, but I made bread pudding once and let me tell you, it came out very odd indeed! Let’s just say it was not edible!

#2. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever done with mac and cheese or pasta? I’m a pretty basic cook, so I don’t do too much odd stuff, on purpose anyway. It could be that because I’ve yet to drink my coffee this morning, I just can’t think of an answer!

#3. Is there a food you eat other then it is intended? Occasionally I’ll take a pancake, sprinkle it with sugar and roll it up to eat it. Sometimes I just don’t feel like eating syrup.

#4. What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever seen? Cow lips (saw it on t.v.).

This week is a Thanksgiving theme! If you would like to participate, visit Fun, Crafts and Recipes

This week’s questions and my answers:

#1. Stuffing. Boxed or from scratch? I use the Pepperidge Farm stuffing and add stuff to it like celery and mushrooms.

#2. If you were served the perfect Thanksgiving dinner what would it be? That’s easy! Turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, yams, green beans, jellied cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whip cream for dessert.

#3. What’s your favorite Thanksgiving leftover? All of it! It all tastes even better the second time around and I love pumpkin pie for breakfast.

#4. Share a recipe using turkey. Using pieces of leftover turkey, add it to a bag of BearCreek brand soup mix for turkey noodle soup. After cooking all day on Thanksgiving, I like things really easy the next couple of days!

TGIF!! I started the week off well getting things done around the house. The middle of the week pretty much sucked for me as I’ve been suffering from a migraine and haven’t been functioning too well. After babying my head most of yesterday and last night, including using a lavender cold pack on my eyes that was a gift from my sister, I am feeling somewhat better today and am making an attempt to end the week the way it started, productively.

I just finished cleaning the kitchen and was attempting to do some online banking, but my bank’s website is currently down, so I thought I would come over here and post my Four Foods on Friday, my favorite meme. If you’re interested in joining in, please head over to Valmg’s site and leave her a comment after creating your post.

This week’s questions:

#1. What’s your favorite potato chip? If I’m just eating chips by themselves, I’d have to go with Doritoes. If I’m dipping, I’d go with Ruffles, but when I’m out at a restaurant, I can’t get enough of tortilla chips and salsa!

#2. Do you use butter, margarine, both or neither? I tend to use both, it really depends on what I’m doing. For spreading on toast and bread, I use Country Crock spread with calcium. For cooking, I tend to use real butter.

#3. What’s your favorite mixed alcoholic (or virgin) drink? I enjoy a frozen margarita or daiquiri, but I was recently introduced to the mojito which I found quite tasty!

#4. What’s your favorite vegetable and how do you prepare it? I don’t know if I have a favorite, but I love the taste of potatoes when they’ve been cooked with a roast or in beef stew.

Happy Friday!!
