 |  My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| PROMPT March 6th What product would you stockpile if you found out it would never be sold again? (If the product you choose is perishable, imagine, for the purposes of this question, that the product would remain useable/edible forever.) What I'm really being asked is what can't I live without? What would I miss? Hmmm, will I end up living in a foreign country totally separated from my favourite whatever? I know of someone who has chosen to live in Brazil and her go-to-product is peanut butter, Oh, she's tried making it herself, but she craves a certain brand readily available back home. She's learned to pack it in luggage during return visits and guests smuggle it in to her. For this past Christmas, I attempted to be a little more creative in my gift giving. I bestowed upon my not so little son a novelty gift. I wrapped an empty cookie tin with a recipe card tucked inside. On that card, I hand-lettered a contract, or a gift card of sorts. I promised to bake the cookies of his choice each month for the next year. He understood I meant this to be one batch per month times twelve. So far, I have honoured my commitment with two batches, double chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip. I have ten more months remaining in this cookie commitment and I see that chocolate chips are a requirement, a clear favourite. Okay, heaven forbid that chocolate chips become an endangered baking supplement! That's inconceivable! That's it then, I would stockpile chocolate chips. I have a cookie connoisseur to satisfy. |
