3 typical meals that you might have in the course of a week

[Junebug]

Hi Karen E!!! Good thing you didn't call out the hounds! I was on a cruise and shortly after my return my brother fell ill and sadly he passed away at 4a.m. this morning.

Pasta of some sort, salad, garlic bread

homemade vegetarian soup of some sort

chicken, fresh peas, roasted asparagus

salad, baked potatoes


Please list any number of "comfort foods"

[Karen Elizabeth]

oh Junie, I'm so very sorry!!!!! Glad you had the cruise and hope it was lovely, and that you had a wonderful time, and my deepest commiserations on the loss of your brother





so definitely

lasagna
macaroni cheese
ramen noodles (my deep and secret passion, left to myself I can eat packets and packets )
pizza, the gooier the better
garlic bread
cauliflower cheese
so essentially, it would appear that cheese is the ultimate comfort food ...



what desperately needs attention in your home?

[Junebug]

All of the word work in my home needs painting.


Please list any number of places that you like to go rather it's a country, town, store, eatery, etc.


karen, would you believe I have NEVER eaten a ramen noodle in my life? But I definitely agree on the cheese!!!

Thank you for your kind words!

[Karen Elizabeth]

I cant remember how I discovered them, probably one of the children had them at someones home and wanted them and I thought, ok ....... and at some point I tried some .... and was hooked .... Its not something I have often, but mostly because I rarely eat alone, if I am alone, I must tell you, I love those things!


Hmm, I'd like to go so many countries, top of the list currently is always

Scotland
UK in general
France

I'd like to go the game park, preferably Pilanesberg but anywhere would be nice
To the coast (its vaguely possible I may do so on business)
Drakensburg (mountains)

To dinner ... anywhere really

Sliced raw onion, separated into rings
Salt & pepper

Egg Salad
Bread
Hard-boiled eggs

Salt & pepper

List your "gotta haves" when you're sick with a cold...

[Trinkets]

Oh Junie, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. I'm praying for you and your family. I personally know how hard it is to lose a brother.

When I'm sick with a cold I crave sweets. I never crave sugar otherwise.
popcicles
sherbet
graham crackers
peppermints
spice drops
and chicken soup

What are some Christmas gifts given to you throughout the years that you still remember with either joy or a chuckle?

[UnknownChef86]

June...I'm so sorry.

[Junebug]

Thank you ladies so very much for your kindness. It helps! It is extremely difficult as he was my younger brother by ten years and I took him with me almost everywhere I went. But I take comfort knowing he is now pain free and in a better place.

Back to the game...Christmas gifts I received that made me smile or chuckle...

a gold trash can with a white flower painted on it is very memorable, but wasn't sure how I actually reacted at the time, but now I find it rather funny

A red robe that was pretty, but it was way too small and at that time I couldn't tip the scales past about 96 lbs. So it was REAL small!

When I was about 16 my grandmother gave me a set of bra, bikini panties ad a half slip that had swirls of vibrant colors all over them. They made me chuckle because I had NEVER had anything of plain jane and white undies! Leave it to my grandmother!

I remember laughing with happiness when my Mother surprised me with a pants set that I loved, but knew wasn't in our family budget so I was totally surprised!
