Welcome to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Here are this week's questions, which you should answer on your own blog and then pop over to Joyce's blog (click on the graphic for the link) Wednesday to add your link to the party.
1. When someone finds out what you do or where you're from, what's a question they always ask?
The question is usually where did Vic and I meet and when I say Saipan, the comment is always "Where is that?"
2. Did you participate in 'Greek Life' when you were in college, or have children who did? If so, what was your experience like? Taking another tack...have you ever been to Greece? If not, is that a destination on your bucket list?
No, I did not participate in Greek Life as I went to college when I was in my 30s, a Navy wife, and mother of a toddler. There were no sororities or fraternities at my daughter's college, as students have repeatedly voted them down, feeling that these organizations run counter to the school’s ethos of diversity and inclusion. I have never been to Greece and it's not really on my bucket list...too hot. If we take a Mediterranean cruise, there will no doubt be a stop in Greece, but I'd have to plan carefully to visit when it's not so hot.
3. Do you like Greek food? If so what's your favorite dish?
For a savory dish, I love souvlaki with tzatziki. For sweets, I love baklava and loukoumades.
Our most popular Greek street food consists of small pieces of meat grilled on a skewer. Souvlaki can be eaten straight off the skewer, wrapped in pita, or on a plate as a sit-down meal with tzatziki, fries and vegetables on the side. Traditionally it is made from pork or chicken, although beef, lamb and vegetarian versions can be found. Its name comes from “souvla”, meaning spit, and the diminutive suffix “-aki”, therefore the small spit = the skewer.
4. What incredibly common thing have you never done?
This is a tough one and I'm drawing a blank. Maybe not participated in most water-related activities like water skiing, rafting, canoeing, or kayaking? It just doesn't appeal to me. I swam in the sea when I was younger, and I might be tempted to dip my toes in the water somewhere like Hawaii, but apart from that, I'm not really bothered.
5. What is a telltale sign that you're upset?
I get very quiet. I can have a temper so if I feel that I'm on the edge, I go silent, so I don't say something I'll regret.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Are you a DeWalt, Ryobi, Milwaukee, or Makita house?
