Favorite Friday - Plays

So it's not too difficult to figure out my favorite play (especially since I named my blog after it).  Yes, the Importance of Being Earnest is by far my favorite play.  I just love Oscar's wit and cleverness.  I leave you with a few of my favorite quotes from my favorite play...

"My dear Algy, you talk exactly as if you were a dentist. It is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isn't a dentist. It produces a false impression..."


"Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me so nervous."


"I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing."


"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."


"I could deny it if I liked. I could deny anything if I liked."


“I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital importance of being earnest” 

Whew!

This week has flown by!  Don't you love when that happens?  I just realized that tomorrow is FRIDAY!  The husband had two test this week, and I had two events going on at work this week....we are tired.

In Wheeler's world, she learned the importance of not eating Daddy's toxic plant project on Tuesday.  On Wednesday she learned the importance of not eating Daddy's boot, and today she learned the importance of not eating paper that contains important information.  As for the toxic plants, thankfully she only consumed plants that are poisonous to cows and horses.

Since tomorrow is Friday, that means one thing - Favorite Fridays!  I proclaim tomorrow, October 29th Favorite Friday - Plays.  Bet you can never guess my favorite play!!

Favorite Friday - Entrées

My most favorite entrée in the whole wide world is the southern tradition referred to as Bar-B-Q! Slow cooked and hickory smoked Bar-B-Q. I like it all, chicken, beef, and pork.

And any good southern knows that the Bar-B-Q sauce (one of the most important ingredients) can make or break Bar-B-Q. Now I am not a fan of vinegar based sauces, but if you want my recommendation for the best red sauce in the South click HERE. It is absolutely divine! Thankfully, my MIL keeps me well stocked with Big Bob Gibsons's Red Sauce, and I use it quite frequently.

Now doesn’t this just make you hungry!

So what is your favorite entrée?

These are a Few of My Favorite Things...

I love the Sound of Music, don't you? Can't you just close your eyes and see Maria and the von Trapp children dancing around their bedroom singing:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things...

When I was little I took ballet lessons, and one of my most favorite ballet recitals was when I danced to "My Favorite Things." We were all assigned parts of the songs to act out, and I got the line "When the dog bites." My job was to act like a growling dog, to say the least I was not too happy about my role in the dance. Why couldn't I be the girl "in white dresses with blue satin sashes?" She got to act like she was tying a big pretty blue bow on her beautiful white dress! Totally not fair. Oh well, I still loved that dance recital, and I still love that song.

While I was reenacting my dance recital glory days for the Husband a few nights ago I had a sudden epiphany. Favorite Fridays! I thought about Favorite Mondays or Favorite Wednesdays, but I just really like the alliteration of Favorite Fridays.

So tomorrow starts my weekly posts of Favorite Fridays. In order to start this post off on the right foot, I thought I should start with a topic that I hold near and dear to my heart - Food.

Therefore, I proclaim tomorrow, October 23rd to be Favorite Friday - Entrées.

Time to Catch Up!

I am way behind on blogging!

First, My MIL and FIL came to the great state of Mississippi for a visit a few weekends ago, and my MIL taught me how to crochet! I can now check that off my to-do list!

DISCLAIMER: I did not make this scarf; however, I am working towards making something that somewhat resembles a scarf.

Second, Fall decorations have been put up, grew fuzzies (molded), and put up again. Note to self: Do not use REAL pumpkins and squash in next years fall decor.

Third, Mom and I attended a wedding in Birmingham this weekend of a friend of mine from high school. It was so great to see a few of my old high school friends!

Did I mention that we spent the night in B'ham, and you know what that means...SHOPPING! Oh, how I love shopping! And when you live in small town USA, shopping in the big city is a special treat! We had a great time and found some great sales. I even found a Lilly Pulitzer dress for $20.00 at Belk, and no, I didn't leave a zero out of that amount. I almost cried I was so excited!
