Once Upon A Hodgepodge

I hope all is well in your world.  The Mister and I had a wonderful time on our cruise and I look forward to telling you all about it in the coming weeks.

Today, I am linking up with my friends from Hodgepodge, where we answer Joyce's thoughtful questions on her blog, From This Side of the Pond.

1. February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favorite fairy tale? 

Do you believe in 'happily ever after'? 

Amazon

I would have to say Beauty and the Beast.  The girls loved the movie so much that they could recite every line of dialogue and knew every word of every song. I get a little misty-eyed when I hear the title song and reminisce about those sweet days.

Do I believe in happily ever after?

Some days more than others.

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-_

Once upon a time...

A long time ago...

In a place far, far away...

Once upon a time, over thirteen years ago, there was an empty nester who became very sad when her last birdie left the nest.  One day she woke up and decided to write a blog. Little did she know that her silly little blog would bring great adventures, as well as lifelong friends for years to come.

3. Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favorite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

Serious Eats

Banana Bread any day of the week.

Here is the recipe for the one pictured.

4. What's your idea of fun?

Any day spent with Miss Lucy is a guaranteed good time.

 

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 

Are you watching Funny Woman?  It's about a TV star in the 1960s, and it never fails to make us smile.
