I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
Monday, February 08, 2016 The prompt is : I love cooking and I will admit there have been some fiasco's. Knock my socks off with the best fiasco you've created, or been a witness too! Don't forget if you are participating in the 50/50 post those hard earned GPS with your entry!
Actually, I don’t love cooking. If I was wealthy I would hire a cook. But, I’m not. In self defense I did learn to cook. Some of the people who helped me learn were: my grandmother, my sister-in-law, my first husband, my brother, and lots of different cook books. My favorite foods are fruit and salads.
The worst fiasco has to be a cake. In my teen years I earned a blue ribbon at a fair for entering a white cake with chocolate frosting.
One of my son’s asked me to make the wedding cake for his wedding. I declined but he thought I could do it. So I relented. I tried to make a 3 tiered cake. It turned out lopsided, the frosting ran and it looked terrible. It was a small wedding with only a few relatives and friends. The cake tasted fine it just looked messy so we all ate it and laughed later. Probably the worst cake I ever put together.
