Monday's Feast (who's kidding who here?)

Appetizer

Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone? If so, what did you do and who was your victim?

I suppose I probably have but to be honest I do better hearing other people tell tales of their success with playing jokes on others than actually completing the act myself. My sister and Chris' sealing of Ada's bedroom door with weather barrier was probably the best I've heard. Oh, and when he convinced her that the sale of their house had not gone through.

Soup

What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?

A pepper mill and an empty spice container. Do people actually have "matchy, matchy" S&P shakers? I guess I was never given any and didn't think to buy them. I suppose what I have is better than having to grind the pepper in a mortar and pestle or than getting the salt straight from the box.

Salad

Where is the next place you plan to visit (on vacation or business)?

Doug and I are hoping to stay in Toronto one night in April just to have a night alone. Friends of ours do it and it sounds like a GREAT idea. I am also going to NJ in July to see some incredible people.

Main Course

What kind of lotion or cream do you use to keep your hands from getting too dry?

Green Beaver Apres Ski Winter Body Lotion. I know, the research department could have come up with a MUCH better name for a product being marketed to womyn then "Green Beaver" but it is 100% Natural, Canadian AND it doesn't make my eczema worse!!!

Dessert

Make up a dessert, tell us its ingredients, and give it a name.

I am really not that imaginative. I like to eat dessert. I suspect that much is obvious. I don't like to invent something. Not for dessert. You don't mess with that stuff. Now, I will throw things together in a pot and call it dinner and it often comes out better than I anticipated but I can't do that for dessert.
How about: 2 scoops of Mapleton's Dairy Organic Chocolate Ice Cream, topped with one sliced banana, a Tbsp. of maple syrup and coconut flakes. We'll call it: a Canadian Chocolate Monkey.
