If you’ve never read a Stephen King book or watched a Stephen king movie?

Never mind.

.

.

I’ve never been on a cruise, and have no desire to board a floating Petri dish of noro virus contagion… but if forced?

I’d bring John Coffey from The Green Mile, the only Stephen King book that literally made me weep. If you don’t think the master of horror and weirdness can pen a heartfelt and beautiful story? You need to read The Green Mile. I dare you not to choke up when John cures the warden’s wife.

That poor man is in dire need of a vacation.

And if John can’t come, because.. you know, he’s dead?

I’d pick Andy Dufresne and Red, from The Shawshank Redemption. The other King masterpiece that proves he can really write if he wants to.

Andy, Red and me at the bar…. raising a glass to Rita Hayworth, second chances and friendship.

Yeah, I can see that.

How about you…

What Stephen King character are you taking on a cruise?

Please feel free to substitute iguana, wombat or naked mole rat for your pet of choice in today’s question.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a gentle soul.

.

.

Though he was found wandering the roads by the shelter from which he was adopted, I can’t imagine him ever being a true stray.

.

.

He hides under the bed when company comes.

He runs from the vacuum, my blow dryer and the blender.

Loud noises, the voice of a stranger and barking dogs put him on the edge of a heart attack.

He was even terrified of the Christmas tree.

.

.

But the strangest thing he’s frightened of…

The thing that sends him skidding down the hall in terror every time it’s deployed?

.

.

The white trash bag I pull from a box, shake to loosen and line the kitchen can with. He’ll be halfway across the house… hear that, and run for cover.

It’s bizarre.

So what crazy thing is your pet scared of?

With turkey day right around the corner, a holiday themed question seems in order.

.

.

For me, it’s Ambrosia Salad hands down.

My late MIL loved the stuff and brought it to every family dinner, even though she was the only one who ate that monstrous combination of flavors.

How about you?

What dish isn’t welcome at your holiday table….

Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

Unfortunately this is an easy question to answer these days as almost everything is ridiculously overpriced.

I could say owning a home – as real estate prices are astronomical.

I could say eating out – as food prices continue to skyrocket.

I could say a new cell phone – because I just checked the price on the new version of mine and it was $1,399.

But I’m going with watching television.

I’m old y’all… and remember when we only got three channels. Four if you were willing to put tin foil on your rabbit ear antennas and wiggle them into just the right position.

The plethora of choices today is overwhelming, but so is the price. We live in the country where there’s no cable and internet speed is abysmally slow. Our only real choice is satellite and they don’t give that away. Add a few premium channels to the line up and our monthly bill is almost $300.

To. Watch. Television.

Honestly I’d be happy to pull the plug and just stream the few things I watch on my phone, but my husband is old school and could never live without it. He’s a channel surfer from way back.

How about you?

What’s almost too expensive for you to bear these days…

A quick question about quick food.

.

.

I’m not a nugget fan and have never had Shake Shack’s or Burger King’s but of the other four, I’m going to choose Chick-Fil-A.

They seem to be the most chicken like and have the highest probability of containing actual chicken.

I’ve never figured out what McDonalds puts in their tasteless and stale version.

I’m guessing Pterodactyl.

How about you…

If forced to eat a nugget, which one would you choose?

Because it won’t take much of your time.

As a bread lover, this is a tough one for me. I’ve enjoyed cheddar bay biscuits and breadsticks, but the quality isn’t always consistent. CB’s biscuits used to be divine but have shrunken to almost elvish proportions over the years. And while the rustic brown loaves are tasty…

I think I’m going to have to say Texas Roadhouse yeast rolls for the win. They’re always fresh and the accompanying honey butter sends these over the top on my yum-o-meter. Ironically, I don’t care for the cocktails or the food at that restaurant so we rarely if ever go…. but I fondly remember the doughy goodness.

Disclaimer – I’ve never tried A or C.

How about you?

Which chain restaurant bread gets your vote.
