Feast Number One Hundred & Thirty Four
Appetizer: What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different?
- I don’t have anything close to resembling a “usual” bedtime. I’m an insomniac. Sometimes I have difficulty catching more than 20 minutes sleep a night. I go days without sleeping more than 2 hours a night, then usually crash from exhaustion. I’m supposed to take medication to help me sleep, but I try to avoid it as much as possible.
Soup: When it comes to advice, do you give more or receive more?
- I tend to give a lot more advice than I seek out – especially now that dad’s not around to pester for advice. I do have a small group of people I tend to return to for advice over and over again (yep, that’s you Dane) and so I’d have to say the quality of advice I tend to get is likely much better than what I give.
Salad: Describe a memorable meal you’ve had.
- Naked Christmas Dinner – enough said 😉
Main Course: Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something.
- I only get to name one work? Oh boy, I’m in trouble… Nah, I’m not even going to bother attempting to limit myself to one book! The power of a book varies based on the person wielding (or reading) it. Meaning I give to books I’ve read over the years will not hold true for others. Read, share, but expect different reactions.
- Heinlein – Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers
- Courtney – Power of One
- Golding – Lord of the Flies
- Camus – L’Etranger
- St.-Exupery – Le Petit Prince
- Little – Ecoute, l’Oiseau Chantera
- Laurence – The Stone Angel
- Atwood – The Handmaid’s Tale
- Shriver – We Need to Talk About Kevin
- Alexander – The Prydain Chronicles
- Grimm – Fairy Tales
Dessert: What is your favorite type of fruit juice?
- Mater-toe. *yummy*
- What do you like on a hot dog?
relish, mustard, & onions - What do you like on a hamburger?
mustard, onions & dill pickles - What do you like on a baked potato?
Mrs. Dash salt substitute - What do you like on a slice of toast?
margarine - What do you like in a cup of coffee or tea?
nothing, i like them black

Hi! I loved “A Handmaid’s Tale” also! I read it during AP Lit senior year of high school and it made my head explode! It was so different from anything I’d ever read at that time. Glad to see there is another fan out there! Nice Feast!

Naked Christmas Dinner sounds like that could be a very memorable moment, lol.
Insomnia is hard to deal with. I have borderline issues with it at times and I feel the same way about the medication. Ambien works but almost too well, the last time I took it my youngest daughter woke up sick and I didn’t even hear her. Thankfully my husband did but that kind of scared me away from taking it again. It’s one thing to sleep but another if a medication makes you sleep that deeply.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me and sharing your feast.

I am sorry about your sleep issues. My husband is like that. It is not fun.
Thanks for coming by my feast today.

Raggedy – h/t is “hat tip” or “tip of the hat” and is meant as an acknowledgment or thank you to another blogger for information – or in this case, a shamelessly stolen graphic.
