2. The Pantone color of the year is cloud dancer, described as a gentle, billowy off white shade. The color symbolizes 'peace, clarity, quiet reflection, renewal, and a soft reset'. Of the terms just listed which do you need most in your life this winter?
Oh I love the sounds of this color and I would say...
Peace
3. Every cloud has a silver lining, on cloud nine, head in the clouds, storm clouds gathering, or cloud of suspicion...which 'cloud' idiom do you most relate to currently? Explain.
"Head In The Clouds" (it is actually a private family joke)
4. coconut, cauliflower, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, onions, ranch dressing...of the white foods listed, which would be the hardest for you to give up? Do you like all or any of the foods on the list?
I do like all of these...if I had to name those that would be difficult to give up, I would say onions because I use them so much in cooking but cottage cheese is a close second now- have been having some weekly for the protein!
5. Thomas Wentworth Higginson is credited with this quote-
"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year."
Agree or disagree? Tell us why.
I think this is so very true...we need the winter and the death of so many things...to remind us to have faith and know that the sun will shine again...the plants will bloom again...and life will come back...it helps me each year to appreciate every season
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Who is excited for the Winter Olympics in Italy? I am pumped!
I agree about onions. We use them so much. Have a good day.
ReplyDeletePretty much in every dinner I cook for my family!
DeleteI am the same, I am not a fan of going out into the cold so I've been a bit of an indoor hibernator.
ReplyDeleteThinking over the last week I think we've had onions in 5 out of 7 dinners. lol It would be impossible to give them up.
I am looking forward to the Winter Olympics, I just hope they show a lot on TV.
Ha! Learning that onions are a necessity for so many of us! I hope they show lots of the skating especially!
DeleteOnions- YES! They need to be in savory dishes! Also agree about the seasons. Winter serves a purpose if only to make us appreciate spring and beautiful days. Have a great day, friend!
ReplyDeleteRight? Yes agree on the seasons too- counting down the days until spring my friend!
DeleteI'm excited for the Olympics. I feel like it adds something to winter evenings and enjoy the athletes stories, the scenery, and the skill on display. We moved south for a few reasons, but yes less winter is definitely one of them. Taxes too, which I'm sure as a resident of a northeastern state you can also relate to. Our property taxes (and we're on the water) for an entire year are less than we paid for a quarter in NJ. My hubs is southern born and bred and I'm southern at heart so we always knew we'd retire south. We love it. We have friends from all over here on the lake and we like that mix of backgrounds and life experiences. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYes can totally relate! It sounds dreamy!
DeleteI do cook with onions, but I honestly do not like them...my husband does. I am so excited for the Winter Olympics...I can sit for hours watching ...wondering why I do not have the talents that some of these athletes have..LOL
ReplyDeleteha ha!! I always want to become a figure skater after the winter olympics :)
DeleteGosh I didn't even know the winter Olympics were in Italy this year! I do enjoy watching whenever I can though.
ReplyDeleteNice little pick-me-up in the winter!
DeleteI love your answer about the winter! Thanks for the reminder of the Olympics! I need to mark my calendar for the opening ceremonies. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Marilyn!
DeleteSoo excited about the Winter Olympics!!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!
DeleteThat cottage cheese with some onion on top looks really good! I'm going to have to remember that tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI have been seeing people even put it in eggs- I will try that next!
DeleteOk, hold on. You call yourself a hibernator but you get out there on the rail trail when it is FREEZING!! You might be turning into an adventurer!! I am so excited for the Olympics too! It's going to be so fun to cheer on these incredible athletes and enjoy all the Italy fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess you are right- ha ha! I know- so excited that it is in Italy!
