Meet Me On Monday

Java (one of the sweetest people in the world) at Never Growing Old hosts a fun hop to start the week off right and help you not only get new followers but also get to know one another better.  So, hop on over to Never Growing Old and ---



Questions:

1.  What is your favorite kind of fudge?  Maple fudge is my favorite!  Love it- it reminds me of pralines.


2.  Is there snow outside your window? NO and don't even get me started on this issue.  The $%#& weather dude has been teasing me for several weeks now and EVERY SINGLE TIME---NO SNOW.  Stupid weather dude.





3.  What is your favorite meal of the day?  Dinner.  It's the meal I spend the most time on and the one that I share with Hubs and, sometimes, our college babies come over to eat with us!




4.  Do you text on your cell phone? Oh YES indeed!  I text with our girls every single day!  BUT we do not text while driving...it's mostly when they are bored in class---LOL




5.  Waffles or pancakes?  WAFFLES!  YUMMY!  My dad gave us a Black and Decker Waffle iron that produced heart shaped waffles.  That thing lasted for 22 years before it died.  We give heart shaped waffle makers as wedding gifts because our family had the most fun with that thing.  We used it for Valentines Day and birthday breakfast's in bed and Father's Day.  On Wednesday nights we had dinner and bible study at church.  On the nights they were serving breakfast foods for dinner, people were asked to bring their waffle irons.  We always took ours and everyone would wait in line until they could get heart-shaped waffles.  It made 4 waffles and sometimes they came out just like the picture below.  And, it chirped like a bird when the waffles were done.  We really loved it!  My dad still has his...maybe next trip up there it will go missing....

    I too said NO to texting while driving, but I love your comic much better than my generic sign.

    Our waffle maker just broke and I'm in the search for a new one. I think I might need to look for a heart shaped one now as these are too cute. Maybe I'll get it in time for Valentine's Day.

    I think all appliances should chirp like birds when they're done. LOL.

    So nice to learn more about you. I am a waffle girl myself. I love dinner time. It's a time when my boys actually quiet down and I can hear my own words.

    Allstarme- That would be quite pleasant! I agree!

    Cranberry- I know, but snow is so pretty. I'm sure I'd tire of it if I had an over abundance of it though. Just like I tire of the summer heat before it even gets started! LOL

    Ms Bibi-I have three brothers and they were only quiet when they were feeding too...LOL

    I have never tried maple fudge. However out tastes seem to be pretty similar on most things. (Must be because we're both southern gals.) So I guess the next time I buy a piece of fudge it'll be maple.

    Hi Pam!
    Thanks so much for your visit to my blog! They say, you should learn something new every day. Now you know that we don't get much if any snow. As I say that, however, I'm ducking for cover because Mother Nature is sure to teach me a lesson for bragging and give us a few feet of the stuff !

    Michele, I hope you love it! It's so much like pralines!

    aiNe- thanks so much for the return follow!

    Eva- Wow, 22 days! I bet if I tried that I'd lose about 50 pounds in a flash!

    Janet- I know, me too!

    Barb- Thank you!

    Other Barb- LOL Feel free to send some my way!

    Well, the question about waffles vs. pancakes has really got me wanting a waffle iron. After reading your answer, I now want one that will give me HEART-SHAPED waffles!

  32. MimiJanuary 24, 2011 at 6:03 PM

    Lol re weather guy!
    I just realised that we have a waffle maker, but I hate it cos it makes an awful, leaking mess. Kids love it, but I prefer pancakes with tons of maple syrup!
    My MMOM is up too!

    Alicia, we really did have loads of fun with it!

    Debby, I've never tried to make it myself, have you?

    Mimi, Yeah, the weather guy down here sucks. Maple syrup = two thumbs way up!

    Betty, I thought about having them for dinner tonight!

    Blue- YES!!! Want snow!!! Of course, I'm the only one around here who wants it!

    Shawn- Maple fudge is the next best thing to pralines!

    Thanks for stopping by. We don't text at all and my favorite meal is breakfast--that's the only one my husband and I have together. I like any kind of fudge but my favorite would be peanut butter chocolate.

    I am loving all the different kinds of fudge I am reading about today. I want to try them all including your maple! I am happy to see someone who likes the snow and I love the cartoon picture of the texting while driving. I want a waffle maker just like that!!!If you find out where they sell them let us all know!!! Have a great week!!!

    Karen- that's the reason dinner is my favorite--only time we eat together!

    Jennifer- I really like it!

    Pinkim- Come on over, I'll make you some! Thanks for the follow!

    Mary- everyone seems to enjoy them so far!

    Barbara- hope you get a chance to listen to her!

    Joshlin- the last ones I have purchased for wedding gifts were either Chef's Choice or Cuisinart and I always get the stainless ones. I have not been able to find the Black and Decker in a couple of years...
