On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
1) Who were you talking to the last time you said, "thank you?"
The clerk at the grocery store.
2) Paul McCartney recalls that "Thank You Girl" was inspired by all the female fans who had written them fan letters, pledging undying love. Have you ever written a fan letter? If yes, did you receive a response?
Nope, never did. I think that you need to be a fan first, and I’m not a fan of any celebratory, if I did write a “fan letter” it wouldn’t be to an actor or sports figure, it would probably to someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
3) Recording engineer Geoff Emerick remembered that John Lennon was easily winded while recording this song. John had a bad cold and went back to bed when they were done for the day. We're in cold/flu season right now. How are you feeling?
Backache from sitting so long in a chair at Thanksgiving.
4) "Thank You Girl" is this week's song because November 27 was Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for this year?
Well so far my New Year’s resolution is coming true which I am thankful for… since my New Year resolution was to make it to next year.
5) While the big meal is referred to as Thanksgiving dinner, most Americans enjoy it earlier than they usually serve dinner. 3:00 PM is the most popular time for the holiday feast. When did you have dinner on Thursday?
At around 2ish,
6) Cranberry sauce has been a Thanksgiving staple since the late 1800s. Was it on your menu this year?
It was but they forgot to put it out and the table.
7) The Thanksgiving Turducken is said to have originated in New Orleans. Chef Paul Prudhomme is often cited as the first to stuff a deboned chicken into a deboned duck into a deboned turkey. Prudhomme's recipe has more than 85 individual steps and takes a full day to prepare. Did you face any challenges while cooking your Thursday dinner?
Nope, my contribution was Corn Pudding.
8) Leftovers are popular after Thanksgiving, especially turkey sandwiches. Some cooks recommend serving cold, sliced turkey on wheat bread, but white bread, pitas and flatbread are also popular. When you head into the kitchen to make a sandwich, what's your go-to bread?
Artisan bread. I buy it at a local farm orchard store.
9) The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season and sales. Black Friday got its name in Philadelphia back in the 1950s to describe the traffic clogging both highways and side streets as consumers raced out in search of bargains. When is the last time you were stuck in traffic?
Um… you do know that I go to Cape Cod all the time. And that the entire Cape has only two bridges to get on or off the Cape. And if you didn’t guess… there is just about always a traffic jam around the bridges for the Cape,
Yeah, the Cape is known for traffic …
ReplyDeleteI am glad you made it through the year too! You've almost made it. I cannot imagine having traffic issues all of the time. We rarely have traffic issues here, unless there is a wreck. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I thank my wife every time she cooks for me. Went to the community dinner at church for noon. Went to my neighbors for dinner @ five o’clock. Cranberry sauce is my favorite side. Pumpkin pie I can eat all day. If you don’t like fruit cake pass it my way. Thankful to be above ground.
ReplyDeleteRye bread with leftover turkey and a lot of mayo.
