Friday 5 for July 25: Scattergories, part 15! - The Letter F

 

Scattergories Part 15: The Letter F

1. What’s a great summer food?

Definitely NOT FRUITCAKE.... Overall most Fruits, but defying the letter F, most likely for me it is WATERMELON or Banana. I'm not a fan of Figs, and they don't ring "summer" to me. Sorry F.

2. What item not usually bequeathed in a will, would you like to pass along to someone when you die?

Since I haven't died and my parents did not bequeath specific items, I would have to say FURNITURE for this one... and I don't have much... mostly cheap Walmart furniture. I also have a FAN, and maybe if I dug through my closet, perhaps there is a rotting FRUITCAKE... though that is unlikely.

3. What’s an admirable quality in a book but not in a person?

A lot of fiction liberally use the word FUCK in their narratives, but generally it is not a good thing for a person to say. I don't think the word is admirable, but I do notice it a lot. That said a good FINALE to a good story is admirable, while a FINALE in a person's life usually means death.

4. What’s a good food to add to other foods?

FRENCH FRIES go good with hamburgers, sandwiches and cheap Fish and Chips. And then again many varieties of FISH are great. Plus chopped raw FISH goes well with Sushi and other dishes.

5. What could make your day better right now?

FINISHING it off on a good note!

Yep, this one was late... it's Wednesday and I could not pass up Scattergories. Thanks Scrivener.

Friday 5 for July 11: In the can

 

Friday 5 for July 11: In the can

I don't eat too many cannned foods as I prefer most food fresh. Canned foods come in handy once in a while for convenience or an emergency. That said:

1. What was the most recent meat product you consumed from a can?

Recently this year it was either a can of tuna, sardines or salmon.

2. What was the most recent vegetable product you consumed from a can?

It's been ages ago, but I think it was a can of peas and carrots.

3. What was the most recent fruit product you consumed from a can?

The last time I ate canned fruit was last year. It was a small can of Del Monte Fruit Cocktail. I've also had canned pineapple slices.

4. What was the most recent beverage you consumed from a can?

1 can of LaCroix Orange Sparkling Water at Foodland Farms just the other day with my lunch bento. 

5. What are you approaching this week with a can-do attitude?

Nothing. Lately most of the tasks I have to do is either expensive, stressful or both.

As is every week, the questions come from Scrivener's Friday 5 page.

The strange topic Friday 5 for July 4. What the hell are these green, black and yellow squares.  The URL doesn't work.

1. What connections did you make this week? 

After rebooting my Mac I got it to reconnect to the internet again.

2. How would you do in a spelling bee for adults where the other contestants are your average people at the bookstore?

I would probably not do very well, especially if the possibility involves well read people who frequent bookstores. Spellcheck and AI are good friends.

3. When did you most recently keep a cross word to yourself?

Can't remember. A lot of things make me upset.

4. What word’ll best describe your expectations for the coming weekend?

Patriotism. 

5. If you could read the strands of your own DNA, what would you most like to know?

I know enough about myself without having to sink to the expensive DNA level to find anything else.
