AuburnChick's Adventures

Happy Wednesday and thanks for visiting today!

Here are my answers to the question Joyce posted this week. I look forward to visiting as many of y’all as I can!

1. On July 29th 1957 The Tonite Show premiered with Jack Parr as its host. This marked the beginning of the modern day talk show. Do you watch any daytime or late night talk shows today? Do you have any thoughts on the hubbub surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, or are you more in the camp of ‘who is Stephen Colbert? 

I do not watch talk shows regularly. The endless chatter gets on my nerves. The Mr. watches all of the business talk shows, and it drives me crazy when I happen to have the day off and have to listen to them. When I retire one day, we are going to rethink what’s on the TV in the mornings.

I have only heard about the Colbert show being canceled, but I don’t know why. I feel ignorantly blissful in saying this too.

2. What’s the best part of your day? 

The best part of my day is when I’ve taken my bath after I get home from work, I’m in my pajamas, and I am sitting in my recliner with my sweet fur baby, Gambit. He’s 14 1/2 now. He is a mama’s boy, and I’m not mad about it.

3. What’s something your generation does that you actually dislike? 

This was a tough question and took me a hot minute to answer.

Something my generation does that I don’t like is that we go into work when we are sick.

Do we have a great work ethic? Absolutely.

Do we spread germs unnecessarily by going into work with a bad cold or some other form of ickiness?

Yep, and we are proud of ourselves for doing so.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen many members of the younger generations who take off a day or two or three for a mere sniffle, which is a bit of silliness to me.

There’s got to be a happy medium, but my generation doesn’t do the best job with that.

4. When you cook do you clean as you go, or clean it all up once you’re finished cooking? What’s the last thing you cooked/baked in your own kitchen? 

I’m a clean-as-I-go kind of gal. I cannot stand the thought of facing a huge disaster when all is said and done.

The last thing I cooked was this One-Pot Vegan Lasagna Soup. I wrote more details about it on the weekend recap post from Monday.

By the way, did you know that there’s a free website where you can save your recipes?

If you add cooked.wiki/ at the beginning of a recipe’s website, the system will import that recipe to Cooked (make sure you’ve created your Cooked account first). It’s magical!

Here’s what the recipe looks like when it’s been imported into Cooked. You can log a recipe as cooked, upload a photo, and add notes.

I like this recipe site because I find most of the recipes I use on various parts of the internet. I sometimes want to remake a dish but, if I can’t remember exactly where I originally got it from, I’m out of luck. This are helps me keep things in one place.

5. Sum up your July in ten words or less. 

Busy July healing from surgery, visiting family, and working hard.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My daughter posted this picture on Instagram last week, and I had to screenshot it.

That’s my sweet J with his daddy, and my heart melts every time I look at it.

My son-in-law is everything I prayed for when imploring the Lord for a helpmeet for my daughter.

B is gentle, patient, and kind. He puts others first in every situation.

This picture epitomizes his soul – one that is passionately dedicated to serving God with every fiber of his being.
