For the ask game: 27 and 28 c:
27. What’s your favorite household chore
Sweeping is pretty chill.
28. What chore do you hate the most?
Dishes. I hate dishes. I hate having my hands wet and how it never ends and they’re so easy to drop when they’re slippy and sponges are gross and water splashes all over you and your hands get chapped and gloves feel weirder and can have bacteria or bugs and stuff hiding in them and eughhhhh I hate dishes.
6, 12, and 26? : o
6. what's your go-to recipe when you want to make something that requires minimal effort?
Salad. Salad can be anything. It’s also gluten free basically by default so I don’t have to worry. Our usual salad is baby leaf spinach with either shredded carrot or daikon, feta cheese, walnuts, seasonal veg (pumpkin, corn, etc) some beans maybe, sometimes craisins, sometimes cold boiled potato wedges…then top the whole thing with herb salt and a sprinkle of basil (I hate salad dressing and it’s 90% of the time got gluten in it here anyway) and voila. Done. Healthy and easy and won’t make me sick. We prep toppings on the weekends and it’s easy to just throw it all together after a long day at work.
12. what's the biggest purchase you've ever made?
If you don’t count my apartment (since I don’t own it) then I’d have to say it’s my computer! I have an iMac and it’s a sturdy beast. I paid for it in cash.
26. do you make a list before going to the grocery store or just wing it?
So actually, I don’t go to the grocery store if I can help it because it’s sensory overload nightmare time! Also I don’t have a car, so carrying things home is a bitch. We order groceries online and get them delivered. Usually we wing it and come up with menus as we click through what’s on sale.
That being said roomie will go to the grocery for fresh fruit and veg and that’s all also based on what she wants and what’s on sale and in season. No list. Just her whims.
what's your favourite beverage?
I’m a coffee girl. Prefer it hot, and while I usually drink a sad instant black, I really like spiffy fancy coffee drinks with stuff in them. Caramel or whip or toppings and such. Super huge pick me up.
I will also never say no to a strawberry lemonade.
Did I send you an ask for this already?? I don't remember! If I did, ignore this! If not, for the delightfully aging tumblr users like us meme, 1 and 15?
1. What’s your favorite kitchen appliance? My kitchenaid stand mixer. That baby is a workhorse and she’s in a lovely boysenberry color and I love her so much.
15. Do you collect anything? I realize this and do you have a collection are the same answer really but I do like to collect mugs and have way more than I’ll ever need.
2, 16, 23, 27 >:3
2. Do you have a collection of anything? I have a lot of books and a ton of yarn.
16. How long have you known your oldest friend? 25 years, we met in high school. I do have a cousin who is one of my best friends and that’s been the case since she was born so almost 38 years there but I figure this is probably for unrelated folks.
23. Answered here.
27. What’s your favorite household chore? Laundry.

6. What’s your go to recipe when you want to make something with minimal effort? Usually I’ll make shredded chicken tacos. You will need: a crockpot, 4-6 chicken breasts, a jar of salsa, packet of taco seasoning. Dump all of this in the crockpot and cook it on low for 4.5 hours. I realize such a long cook time doesn’t sound like minimal effort but it mostly is. If I’m super hungry and only cooking for myself, I’ll make a cheese quesadilla or stick some chips and cheese in the microwave for nachos.
23. What’s the coolest place you’ve ever visited? I studied abroad in Argentina and to this day I’ve never seen trees with such gorgeous roots.
29. Do you have houseplants and how are you keeping them alive? Between kiddos and a dog I do not run the risk of houseplants but maybe when they’re older I’ll try.
3 & 4
3. What’s the best job you ever had? I’m currently a mentor to fellow foster parents and I really enjoy it so it’s the best one I’ve had in a while.
4. What’s the worst job you ever had? A church job I quit in December. It was obvious I wasn’t what they wanted and no one listened to my ideas or valued my input.
