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.

It won’t take long, I promise.

That’s an easy one.

I’d trade places with any cat who ever lived with us.

They’re loved.

Well fed.

Spoiled.

And indulged.

They also have two human servants who cater to their every whim.

So yes, I’ll say our cat.

How about you?

What animal would you trade lives with….

You’ll have to think for a moment, but have faith…

I think you can do it.

I can think of quite a few I happily lived without back in the day but can’t imagine surviving the loss of now….

Power windows in cars. Did we ever roll them down manually? My mind boggles at the physical effort.

Microwaves. I don’t cook with ours but reheating leftovers quickly is one of life’s simple pleasures.

DVRs. The pleasure of watching what I want when I want cannot be beat.

But if I’m honest the number one modern convenience I can’t do without is my iPhone. It holds my 23,710 photos and keeps me in touch with long lost friends. It’s my dictionary, my calculator, my encyclopedia, and my address book. It’s a source of video entertainment, games, and shopping. I call, I text, I email. I bank, I navigate, and check the local weather. Most importantly? I blog with you lot.

Sadly, I’m not exaggerating when I say I’d be lost without it.

So how about you…

What mod con will they pry from your cold dead hands?

Because it’s time to reflect.

Kale.

After the window installations disaster, roof leaks, the loss of a toenail, my husband’s eye surgery debacle, numerous home remodeling nightmares, crazy property tax increases, catching Covid, a cancelled holiday trip, a non existent Christmas and a dead water heater? I cry uncle!

Kale.

My 2024 was wall to wall 🥬 .

Now you. What food represents your year?
