Friday 5 for October 9: Live to eat

Scene: Tuesday, at a birthday dinner for the lovely Kristen
K: So are you quietly quitting blogging?
Me: Ummm…no? No. No! I’m not quitting!

So here I am. Not quitting.

That’s right, I changed this entire website. I guess I should make a fall banner.

Happy Friday! Today is National Moldy Cheese Day (seriously?) and Fire Prevention Day which was a highlight of the year when I was in elementary school.

Our local fire department would host an open house with cartoons, pretzels, fire truck rides, plastic firefighter hats, Tot Finder stickers, and a plastic house filled with smoke for us to practice crawling through.

Occasionally they’d set a car on fire in the parking lot and extinguish it! Good times.

What’s been going on? Everything and nothing. Summer’s over. We went to Hershey Park for a few days. I was promoted at work to Director of Membership! Murphy’s doing well. I’m reading a lot and still making cards. My fantasy football team is astoundingly in second place.

Let’s do the Friday 5 before I get caught up in details and abandon this blog post like the (checks drafts) three others I abandoned since my last post in August! This week’s theme is Live to Eat which is the perfect theme for me to return to!

1. What’s your favorite rolled food?
   I’m going to be cheeky and say chocolate chip cookies because they start out rolled and end up decadent.
   
2. What’s your favorite layered food?
   I stand with Garfield and choose lasagna. I make a decent lasagna with a meaty sauce and creamy ricotta cheese.
   
3. What’s your favorite messy food?
   Buffalo wings! Our local wings place (PJ Whelihan’s) has a sauce of the month which I’ll usually try, but my go-to sauce is sweet chili. I prefer drums to flats.
   
4. What’s your favorite blended beverage?
   Tropical, preferably with rum or tequila and a decorative umbrella.
   
5. What’s your favorite skewered food?
   Chicken satay! I love the peanut sauce.

And that’s it. Enjoy a blast from my Fire Prevention Day past!
