Take a look at this image and tell me if you see rectangles or circles.
.
.
Like that extremely annoying blue or gold dress, I can’t understand how anyone could possibly see circles here, but apparently they do.
.
.
This explanation seems bizarre to me.
I don’t live near teepees, but I can still distinguish one from an igloo.
The human brain is a strange piece of work.
🥴

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.
.
.
I’m phoning it in again, but play along anyway.
.
.
13 out of 20 for me.
I’m old, but not cards in the bike spokes or Red Rover old.
😉
How about you…
What’s your total?
.
.
You know the drill.
.
.
For me it’s ketchup.
I’m not a fan in general, and tend to cringe when I see people slather it on eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches and God forbid…. steak.
Burgers and fries? If you have to, though I usually pass.
I’ve seen people use it as a dip for potato chips, put it on their fried fish and top off their bowls of baked beans. For me those are a definite no.
.
.
How about you?
What ruins your dish…
.
.
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.
(Frank)
.
.
Well fed.
(Mr. White)
.
.
Spoiled.
(Bubba)
.
.
And indulged.
(Cracker)

They also have two human servants who cater to their every whim.
(Lord Dudley Mountcatten)
So yes, I’ll say our cat.
❤️
How about you?
What animal would you trade lives with….
.
.
You’re already here, so why not?
.
.
I know it’s going to sound weird not to say chocolate or cheese or something wonderful, but honestly?
My answer is broccoli.
Every night when I’m cooking dinner I pick a vegetable for the husband and then choose fresh broccoli for myself. I could literally eat it with every meal. Steamed broccoli, roasted broccoli, broccoli casserole, broccoli salad… I love it all.
Weird, I know.
.
.
How about you?
What could you eat every single day…
.
.
Continuing with my cat theme..
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals my ponytail holders on a regular basis. If I take one off and place it on a table?
It’s gone.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals the bookmark right out of my book. It has ribbon on the end and if I lay the book down?
It’s gone.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves bacon and has been known to swipe sandwiches off my plate. If it’s within reach?
It’s gone.
What does your cat burglar steal?
And if you aren’t lucky enough to be owned by a feline… what does your dog, bird, iguana or hamster burglar steal?
.
.
You’re here.
I think it’s required.
.
.
If you’re a reader like me, you should score pretty high on this one.
I’m 17 for 20.
I admit to not having read The Odyssey, The Canterbury Tales or One Hundred Years of Solitude.
How about you?
What’s your classic book number…
.
.
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?
.
.
In honor of the season.
.
.
While I often enjoy the upbeat and light heartened songs of Christmas, it’s the more heartfelt and poignant tunes that I tend to call my favorites.
.
.
Yes, he’s promising to be home… but so often the ones who we dream about sharing the holidays with are not.
And after watching the most excellent movie “Monuments Men”?
I will never hear this song without choking up.
.
.
Your turn.
Favorite Christmas carol…?

River's world.....
