Hi everyone. I’m joining in with the Wednesday HodgePodge once again. Here goes.
1. Did you watch the coronation of King Charles III? Share some of your thoughts about that, or about the royal family in general.
No, didn’t watch it and don’t care for the royal family at all. I honestly am more on Harry and Meghan’s side if I have to choose one. Not that I know much about the entire situation leading up to them being the black sheep, but there are always two sides to a family split-up and everyone seems to side with Charles, William and Catherine. Being that I’m old enough to remember Diana, albeit not very well, this tells me Charles himself is far from perfect and he hardly seems to acknowledge it.
2. What are you the uncrowned queen of?
Here at my home, I’m the uncrowned queen of smoothie making. Sadly, the blender died and the staff think a stick mixer works as well (which it doesn’t), so I’m waiting for my benefits to arrive on the 23rd so that I can buy a new blender.
3. In a box of chocolates which one do you usually go for?
Coffee cream. I also love caramel and anything with nuts in it.
4. Something learned at your mother’s knee?
I’m not sure what this expression means, but if it means something I learned from my mother as a child, I’ll go with my love of crafts and simple food prep. My mother would often help my sister and me bake cookies. Though I haven’t done that in years, it does probably translate into my love of smoothie making.
5. “Like mother, like daughter”…in what way is this saying true for you?
The first thing that comes to mind is a negative one: both of us have really poor distress tolerance. However, both of us are also somewhat creative. We also look somewhat similar: both of us are short, both of us on the curvy side, both with dark hair. My mother has brown eyes though, while mine are blue.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I am currently reading I Want My Daddy, the latest foster care memoir by Casey Watson. So far, it’s good. It has an intriguing twist that I didn’t expect.

Ah, so I can’t share a box of chocolates with you or we’d fight over the same ones. 😉 Thanks for stopping by.

My hubs makes the smoothies in our house and they’re good. I always feel like it’s a lot of work for a drink though lol. We like to add cucumber to ours. Have a great rest of the week!

Oh, I’ve never added cucumber to a smoothie. The only vegetables I’ve ever tried were kale and spinach. I haven’t ever seen cucumber used in any smoothie recipes either, though it are frequently used in juicing, so I guess it can be added to smoothies too. I think I’ll just need to give it a try. Thanks for stopping by.

Glad to know I’m not the only one with a low opinion of the new King. I think he’d benefit mightily from a slice of Humble Pie.

I enjoyed your answers. I would agree that a stick mixer does not do the job. Hopefully you can find a great blender soon

Well, finding a great blender is not the problem; finding one that doesn’t cost like several hundreds of euros is. I did find one for €100, but it’s a Chinese brand and I always have my doubts about those even when they do have the required CE markings (European safety marks for electronics).
