1. How many bottles of salad dressing are in your refrigerator? Oh my-I have 10! Right now, how many different kinds of fruit are in your refrigerator? Apples, blueberries,strawberries, pineapple, cantelope. What is on the top shelf of your refrigerator? 1% & skim milk, OJ, leftover napolean cake, Cool Whip, jarred hot peppers, chicken broth, pineapple juice,and I think there's a small bottle of cranberry juice in there too. Time to clean out the refrigerator! Do you normally purchase groceries on a given day, or do you make a stop at the grocery store several times a week? Once a week


2. What is your favorite flower that is blooming right now in your yard (or a neighbor’s yard)? We don't have many flowers this year. But my hydrangea bush is blooming right now with beautiful pinky purple flowers Do you have any fresh cut flowers in your house today? No-but I would love some.

3. When was the last time you purchased?
Toothpicks-maybe a year ago
Straws-same answer
Salt-a few weeks ago
Cotton balls-got them as a stock stuffer
Brush/Comb-no clue
Light bulbs-6 months ago
Rubber bands-never bought them
Paperclips-I have them just don't remember when or where I bought them
Writing paper-years and years ago
Matches-don't remember



4. Do you do something others may find peculiar / quirky or something that your mother did (it annoyed you) and now you find yourself doing the same exact thing? I leave my kitchen cabinet doors open-which drives my husband nuts!

5. Share one of your favorite summertime recipes with us – one where we can utilize the fresh veggies or fruit now in abundance in the garden or from the farmers market? It can be as simple as cutting up a watermelon, tossing in a few grapes, sprinkling with coconut, and enjoying in a bowl … which leads me to ask … do / did any of you ever lightly salt your watermelon? I've never heard of that I can remember doing that as a child (that was the only way I ever saw my grandparents eat watermelon – salted wedges).

Pineapple Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

1 ½ cup sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup canola oil

2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
¾ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, applesauce, oil, egg whites, egg and vanilla until blended. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda; gradually beat into the sugar mixture until blended. Stir in the zucchini, pineapple and walnuts.

Transfer to two 8 x 4 x 2” loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Thanks Karen-fun questions and it's made me realize I have way too many bottle of salad dressing & that it's time to clean out the refrigerator!
