Since it is lent, I can only participate in literary feasts - as this is a day of fasting. Also, since it is lent I usually try to give up something. This year it is soda - all varieties. This has been difficult for the past couple days, (and I suspect) will continue to be for the duration. On to the feast:

Appetizer
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
The palm of my hand. I was cutting vegetables for dinner about 7 years ago, and was careless. The knife cut across the thick part of my palm just below my thumb.
Soup
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
It happened more to my brother. The doctors thought that my mom had a tumor. They told her that she would never have children after my sister, and they had been right for 12 years. They prescribed medication for the tumor. After we got home from the pharmacy - it was Sav-on or Thriftys, I remember the pharmacist knocking on the door and asking for my mom. He told her to not take the medication if she might be pregnant. She didn’t take it. I clearly see the hand of God here - I have never heard of a pharmacist doing house calls in the ’80s, especially for a woman who had been told she would not have kids (and hadn’t for 12 years).
Salad
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.
It would be easier to ask the reverse. Nearly all of them get on my nerves. I find Donald Trump particularly irritating. Oprah also gets on my nerves. On the other hand, who does not: Ceasar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) is someone who definitely does not.
Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as “pasketti” for “spaghetti”)?
My mom would be better able to answer that one. I think I called my Uncle Norman Uncle Monkey.
Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have always thought ______ was ______.
Not sure what to do here, so this is what I’ve got.
chocolate … delicious
wine … intoxicating
love … grand
