Meme filled Wednesday

 Wednesday, which means day off. I am / we are also grieving the loss of Joe, sweet blogging friend Terri's husband. Please keep Terri and her family in prayer.

Welcome to Tuesday 4 continued in the memory of Toni Taddeo, its original author.

1.What's your favorite thing to do when you have time on your hands?

I like to read or just sit with hubby who is usually watching tv.

2. Company coming tonight for dinner what do you cook?

A pan of lasanaga or if its summer, we will BBQ.

3.   The weather is perfect outside, how would you spend the day?

Outside. Those days are rare here in the great white North, currently with snow on the ground and bitter cold. I have to say, I am dreaming of flip flops, warm weather and seeing the ocean looking at houses in Fl.

4.   It's morning and you just got up, what do you have for breakfast?

Its a quick thing at 5 am and lasts me until lunch break at noon or whenever they decide to give me my break. {{ROLLING EYES-Capital letters}}

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday which signals the beginning of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? 

No

If so tell us more. Did you grow up 'celebrating' Lent? Is attending church part of your weekly routine? Are churches open for in-person worship where you live? 

No. I better leave it at that.

2. When is the last time you sat beside a 'real' fire? 

Since we moved from Alabama, 7 years ago.

Do you have a fireplace in your home? Wood or gas logs? 

Nope.

Favorite thing cooked over a fire?

My husband does a "mean" BBQ. ((aka great))

3. Something that's currently got you fired up?

Politics--better leave it at that. 

4. February also happens to be National Cabbage Day. Who knew? Do you like cabbage?

Yes, but only if its Sarma.

 Is cabbage on your menu Wednesday? No

 Of the following cabbage dishes which is your favorite-coleslaw (mayo or vinegar?), sauerkraut, cabbage rolls, cabbage soup, kielbasa and cabbage, grilled cabbage, bubble and squeak, kimchi, or haluski?

My late grandma's Sarma. 

5. Do you hang on to pennies? What do you do with them? 

Yes, we have a Conley Savings and Loan can, ok, 2 cans now. Both are nearing $200-tmi.

 Last thing you purchased for $1.00? 

I accidently broke my glass water bottle yesterday at work, so I bought a bottle of water.

Last thing you purchased for $5.00?

That would be today, once I get around:

for the record, since once again, I was late getting out yesterday, I did NOT feel like getting the soap then. I got the heck out of there. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

For the 1st time in 7 years, I feel the need for change. However, like my good friend, Ann says, "It's due to so many things going on; Covid, Pandemic restrictions, work etc." Probably so. And each day we get closer to making major decisions and to where. My husband, "Linda, if I can find a house with a pool so and so and you can drive to work near the ocean, would that be ok?" Why, yes, I think it would be. BTW, the State of Florida is open for business, just saying. Bigly. Jobs are plentiful. Just saying.
