I know I said I'd post about the time I feared for a loved one's safety today...but I didn't get to it. Eventually.
So let's dig right in for another Five Question Friday, shall we? Remember, you can answer these questions, too, by clicking on the button or heading to My Little Life.
1. Who is the better cook, you or your spouse?
My husband LOVES to cook. He always tells me that if he didn't have a family he'd be a chef. (Crap hours, you know.) But he does the weirdest things to food. (No offense honey.) He made spaghetti sauce the other night and could not stop himself from digging through the spices to add a little something to it. He picked cayenne pepper. My mouth was on fire all night. To be fair - he does make a mean omelet. And he's not bad with pancakes. I suppose breakfast is his thing. But I'm the better cook most of the time. - No contest.
2. How often do you talk to your mom?
Almost every day. She calls me on her lunch hour or I call her in the evening. Both my dad and my husband hate it, but there you go. And we talk about everything. Sometimes I have to pretend that she's not my mom, and therefore not married to my dad, in order to make it through the conversation without barfing.
3. Are you adventurous in the kitchen or stick to the recipe?
Me - stick to the recipe. Husband - can't not add something of his own to the recipe.
4. Is your second toe longer than your big toe?
A little bit. I have really ugly feet. But so does everyone else. Feet are gross. I have never had a pedicure because I don't want someone messing with my toes. Probably need one though.
5. Do you dress up for Halloween? (Bonus question: What will you be this year?)
Sadly, not anymore. I am a firm believer that Halloween ought to be scary though. I never went as a princess or anything like that. Among other things, I have dressed up as an alien, a vampire, a skeleton, a clown with one eyeball hanging out of it's socket, and a hippie...all equally scary.
1. I'm better w/ meat, wife's better w/ other foods.
ReplyDelete2. Every weekday - she watches my kids.
3. I don't do recipes - too exacting. I eyeball everything. Once again, why my wife is better at other foods.
4. No. But my feet are hairy. If you ever tick me off, I'm going to email you pictures of my hobbit feet.
5. No. You don't need a mask w/ this face. OH SNAP!
My husband does this too. He likes to cook, but goes with the more is more method. You don't need soy sauce, worsterschire and salt in one dish.
ReplyDeleteWhat your husband did with the cayenne pepper??? Sacrilegious!
ReplyDeleteI know, with the cayenne pepper. But it sounds like Poppy knows where I'm coming from.
ReplyDeleteGee, Pop. I think you might be the first person to answer the questions in a comment. Yey! And I hope I do see your hobbit feet someday. Momma Kiss showed me a picture of her wearing her homecoming crown earlier this week. Really made my day!
This must be a dude thing cause my husband is forever effing up tried and true homegoodness of recipes. It's so gross. He's on this kick where he needs to add cream cheese in everything. We should buy stocks in cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. I wish my husband loved to cook.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with men and spaghetti? My husband got adventurous one night and added black beans and lemon pepper. It was inedible.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I could get my kids to dress up as scary things for Halloween. As it is, they won't even walk down the Halloweed aisle at Target because of the scary cackling witch. Maybe in a couple years.
Ok, because I'm such a follower, I'm going to answer, too.
ReplyDelete1. Definitely me, altho Hub is better with steaks. We are both snobs about steaks being cooked right & he's better at it than me.
2. Um, I haven't talked to my mom in like 12 years. Long story.
3. I'm semi-adventurous. I usually stick to the recipe the 1st time as a control, then I'll tinker with it. And I usually eyeball things if it's a recipe I make all the time. I'm very, very good at eyeballing.
4. I don't think so. I'm not going to take my boots off at work to check. I think they're about the same length tho. I have cute feet, when they're pedicured and/or not dry from crappy weather.
5. I definitely dress up for Halloween. I'm going to be a goomba this year. We have a Super Mario Bros theme going. I can't stand Princess Peach, plus her costume? Looks like a hideous pink sack. I Googled "ugly bridesmaid dresses" and (I kid you not) got some very similar pictures as results. So yeah. Goomba it is (those are the little brown bad mushroom things you squish, for those who might not know...gasp...).
Gotta tell you. I do have great looking toes. I really do.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin'.
i will agree that in general feet are gross. i could never be a foot doctor or give pedicures. but i happen to think my feet are pretty ok looking. i mean as far as feet go.
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is the king at breakfast! Really...he digs up all kinds of recipes for breakfast. Other meals...not so much! BUt he loves loading the dishwasher (because he hates the way I do it)..So I'm good with that! I hate cooking and cleaning! ;)

Hi, I;m your newest follower! I love finding new blogs and yours is lovely. You can find me at www.bouffeebambini.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletetake a peek at my giveaways if you stop by. I only feature gorgeous, handmade stuff:)
Wow, we're exactly alike on #3. And when I was five, I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe for Halloween, complete with blonde wig. Looking back, I think that qualifies as pretty scary...
ReplyDeleteA hippy. You are too funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd the toe question! So random. I kind of love it.
But most importantly, what would we do without our moms? Yay daily conversations about nothing!
What the hell lady, you're telling people about that crown picture! GAH! Please Stop!
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd toe is shorter than the big toe. I have really cute feet, it's like the only thing I love about myself.
I have issues.
JP always has to add something to the food too, he's always digging in the cupboards for something extra. I will never forget the night he decided to make his own ice cream, turning on the stove was the first indication that he didn't quite know what he was doing.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a pedicure either because I have gnarly feet. You should see the xrays (well, probably not because it might freak you out how disfigured my bones are). I agree that feet are gross though.
Oh, I never deviate from the recipe either. I can't imagine trying to cook without measuring cups and something telling me exactly what needs to go in!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header!!
I never *mean* to deviate from a recipe... sadly I'm just bad at following!
ReplyDeleteI totally stick to the recipe. Then I have someone to blame when it goes horribly wrong. And I love that you were something with an eye hanging out of its socket, rather than a princess. I am so not a princess.
