February 16th is National Almond day...are you a fan? If so what's your favorite food item or recipe that contains almonds?
Oh yes, I really enjoy almonds. The problem is that currently whole almonds currently cost almost as much as a half a tank of gas. Maybe I can get a bag my next grocery day. One of my favorite recipes uses slivered almonds. I use them in the place of sunflower kernels in my broccoli cranberry salad.
Something you are currently 'nuts' about?
My "new" closet. |
Something currently driving you 'nuts'?
Have you ever had a day where you're so squirrely that you can't concentrate on anything? Well, I'm having one of those days (Tuesday). I've got tons of work to do for my job and at home and I can't focus to get a thing done. I can't figure out how to snap out of it. NOTE: It took going to the grocery store during my lunch break to start regaining focus. Sheesh!
Something you recently bought for 'peanuts'?
Nothing comes to mind. I haven't been to the thrift store lately. 😊
Share a favorite quote uttered by any U.S. President (if you're not an American, a quote made by the leader of your own country).
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat. - President Theodore Roosevelt.
Insert your own random thought here:A quote from Craig Ferguson I find apropos for this post: "I guess any attention is good attention for a nutcase!"
