The Table Has Been Cleared

I'm putting a halt to Table Topic Tuesdays. The majority of questions left are of a more racy nature. I have no problem answering the questions or with sharing too much information. But, Lolly some times reads and things are just starting to click into place for her about things of a racier nature. References on tv, in songs, etc. You get it. So to save her from overload, I'll have to think of something else to blog about on Tuesdays.

Thanks to all who played along!!! I loved learning more about you!

what did you learn from your family about money?

that it doesn't grow on trees. haha, ok I thought that was funny. I did hear that a lot. I don't think I was taught to be irresponsible with money but that's kind of how I ended up. The last couple years have been spent trying to get on the right path.

what do you want to make sure you do before you die?

Live overseas, preferably outside of Florence, Italy or perhaps London. While there I don't want to work, well not work like I know it now, tied to a cube M-F 7-4 (crazy American dream, it's taken 40 yrs to realize that the quest for more stuff is highly overrated). I'd like to spend my days reading, exploring, and building relationships with interesting people.

Table Topic Tuesday (on Wednesday)

what's your most cherished recipe?

It should probably be something passed down but right now it's something that I've acquired recently thanks to Martha (Elizabeth Hill Cottage). Martha who I was fond of before she answered my call for a "sugary" frosting, but now I absolutley love!

“Buttercream” Frosting

½ cup shortening
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ to 1 teaspoon Wilton butter flavor
¼ to ½ teaspoon almond extract
4 cups confectioner’s sugar (use C&H- pure cane)
2 tablespoons milk

In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with mixer. Add vanilla, butter flavoring and almond extract. Add confectioner’s sugar 1 cup at a time beating well and scraping down sides of bowl; add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Re-whip before using.

This frosting is so good it'll make you want to slap your momma. I put it on cupcakes and it was even better after it set a day.

So what recipe do you cherish?

Table Topic Tuesday

what's your most meaningful family heirloom ?

I thought about jewelry I've been given or other momentos that have been passed down but by far I would have to say my religion. I've always felt that when my dad married my mom when I was about 4 or 5 he gave us the two greatest gifts, his last name and our religion. It is the single most thing that defines me.

what family heirloom do you cherish?

Table Topics Tuesday

" if you got a tatto what kind would you get and where would you put it?"

some of you may remember that I recently blogged about my tatto envy . So I would probably go with the Beatles walking across Abbey Rd. Where placed, unsure still thinking about that.

However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have had to make that decision. I chose a very small scorpion on my tail bone area. (It's my sign, and very true to my personality) Small and so far down that I'd have to be wearing absolutely nothing to be able to see it and if you saw me in real life you'd probably never guess I had one. It was something I did for me, not for show. I got it one night in New Orleans. I walked into a tatoo palor with 2 guys and was the only one man enough to go through with it but, that's a story for another time.

What would you chose and where? Spill it...
