This week's Friday 5 is about "current favorites". It doesn't do much for me, but I'll take a stab at it by answering in my own perverse fashion.
At this moment, what is your favorite…
- …song?
- …food?
- …tv show?
- …scent?
- …quote?
I'm more into favorite singers (e.g. Enya) than favorite songs. There are also songs that occasionally run through my mind at times I recently bought a few of those at the iTunes Music store. I can't really say I have "a favorite song" at this (or any other) moment, however.
I have lots of favorite foods; my current favorite depends on what I'm doing, how I'm feeling, what I'm eating, what I've eaten recently. I love fresh fruit – we often decide to go to our local diner just for the fruit bowl; we decide upon arrival what to eat with it. I like a good steak (medium rare, please), a ripe avocado, a perfect tomato. I like Safeway's house brand 100% natural crunchy peanut butter. I love bacon & tomato sandwiches w/ mayo on toasted sourdough. I like real, old-fashioned, tapioca pudding (which they serve at Fresh Choice, believe it or not). I enjoy most "breakfast foods" (e.g. omelets, bacon, scrambled eggs, etc.) and will happily eat "breakfast" at any time of day.
I love Mollie Stones' in-store bakery Multi Grain bread. I love good chocolate croissants (but I'm not supposed to eat them right now). I love shrimp, spinach salad, a good caesar salad, edamame, and the "Barry Manilow of deserts" (Tiramisu). I simply adore Eggs Florentine. We also make an incredible Eggs American Cafe (a delightful variant of Eggs Benedict, with asparagus, on a toasted croissant; I make yummy hollandaise sauce :).
We don't watch TV. (That was quick 😉
We don't use scented stuff. I love the smells of real vanilla, various spices, pine, menthol…, I wrote a more complete answer to a similar question last Sunday for Purple prompts (Spray your favorite air freshner…).
I have zillions of favorite quotes. I collect them. This one is on a plaque on my desk, printed on my checks, and was in my email signature for years. So far, no one has ever asked me what it means (although I did get a nice note once from someone who worked for Sun Microsystems, Nederlands. 🙂
Ooit'n Normaal Mens Ontmoet? En…, Beviel't?
There are also the four motto quotes I wrote about earlier this month. They're certainly perennial favorites.
Isn't it amazing how much you can write when you don't have anything to say? 🙂
