Friday Feast #1

Don't you just love your firsts??

Appetizer
What is your favorite herb or spice?

I love cinammon. I love everything baked in cinammon. Cinammon rolls, pumpkin pie...you name it!

Soup
Name a song you like but haven't heard in a long time.

Run away with you by the Cure (at least I think that is the name)

Salad
If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be?

1,245,759 oh you said one minute? I could probably write down at least 50 of them!

Main Course
Tell something interesting about one of your family members (nothing scandalous, please, just something unique).

My bother was in a major car accidentin 2002. Ejected from the car on the freeway and everything and lived to tell about it.

Dessert
What's the latest you've ever stayed awake?

Um, I just had a baby (well, 7 mo ago) but I believe there was a time in there were I was awake literally 3 or 4 days. Pure. Hell.

Thanks for visiting my FF!

Cinnamon is great - I love cinnamon gum although it's only just coming on to the market here in Australia! And cinnamon toothpaste, but we don't get that here!

Have a great day!

cinammon is wonderful. A very underated spice i think.

My baby turns 8mo on the 10th of Oct., I do remember nights like that too.
Cinnamon is my favorite spice too.
Welcome to FF!

Welcome to Friday's Feast. :) Cinnamon is one of my favourite spices too. :) That must have been scary for your brother - thank goodness he lived.

Have a happy Friday. :)

What is this Friday's Feast business? I have never heard of it!

I love cinnamon. And freshly grated nutmeg. And cardamom -- YUM.

I don't want to depress myself with how many things I need/don't want to do, thank you very much.

My sister is a nurse. I know! We're an exciting family!

I'm sure I've had similar amounts of non-sleep when my kids were younger. Thankfully, they now sleep very well (and because I just said that, I'm sure they will both be up all night tonight -- thanks, Colleen!).

I LOVE Sophie Kinsella books (on your sidebar!) That one is GREAT!

I laugh that you typed "bother" instead of "brother." Freudian slip? LOL

Great list! Keep up the FF!!

Julie said...

Colleen said...

Freudian slip?

No, I just can't type. I mean, yeah, I can type, but I just get going so fast and I do NOT proof read. What I type is what you get!

thanks for stopping by everyone!

Melli said...

Well, first ... WELCOME to Friday's Feast! Second ... I LOVE the name of your blog -- very cute! And third...

I'm SURE your dessert was just awful! (as the mother of 4, I know these things!) And I'm glad your brother is okay! Cinnamon was a great choice! I wasn't even thinking in terms of sweets! But I DO use a lot of cinnamon too!

Welcome to Friday Feast!

I love cinammon. And your dessert makes me want to come over and give you a hug and a coffee. (coffee is my favorite thing in the whole world. It relaxes me, sooths me and makes me happy.)

Susanna said...

Oooh, I think I got away lightly with my baby in that case!

Unknown said...

Congrats on the baby!

Colleen, I'm a copy editor, so you're in big trouble for not proofreading! Tsk, tsk. (kidding!)

Hey, call me crazy, but I don't see your e-mail address anywhere on this site...?!?!

Love your feast! Welcome!
I can relate about your dessert - I have a toddler who loves to wake up at 3 in the morning, and my eldest didnt sleep through the night until after she turned a year old- when we got her a Grobag!

Mine's served :)

Thanks for stopping by! :) Great first feast.. You must write fast if you could do 50 to-do items in a minute hehe! Your dessert makes me kind of glad that my daughter was with her dad when she was that small.

graymama said...

Just Like Heaven is one of my favorite Cure songs :-)

Glad that your brother is okay!

We have the same dessert.

Great meal!

Christine said...

Oooo, the whole not sleeping at all with a new baby. I remember that. Actually, with my youngest being 9 month, I still have bouts of that...

Thanks for visiting me! Have a great weekend!

gawilli said...

Oooh, hot cinnamon rolls. Now that sounds good! Thanks for visiting.

Unknown said...

Hahaha! I can totally relate. I have a toddler as well.
