Friendly Fill-ins

Each Thursday Ellen of 15andmeowing and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs, provide Friendly Fill-in questions.

Ellen came up with the first two questions and Lorianne came up with the last two questions.

If you need help, please let either Ellen or Lorianne know.

Here are this weeks questions:
1. The grossest food I ever ate was __________.
2. The best tasting food I ever had was _________.
3. I should probably _________, but I won’t.
4. If I could have an unlimited supply of one item, I would pick ______.

Here are my answers:
1. The grossest food I ever ate was split pea soup. That stuff is gross.
2. The best tasting food I ever had was Chateaubriand at the Carnelian Room on the 52nd floor of the Bank of America building in San Francisco. It was my 30th birthday.
3. I should probably clean house today, but I won’t.
4. If I could have an unlimited supply of one item, I would pick toilet paper. I don’t ever want to go through that again.

    What a lovely basket of sweetness!
    The grossest thing I ever ate was a snail. We were on a cruise years ago and everyone was having l’escargot apart from me. I was persuaded to try just one and it was the most revolting thing ever!!

      I love escargot. Some places don’t know how to prepare it though. Happy weekend, Jackie. 🙂

    The basket of kittens is beyond adorable! My daughter would agree with you on the split pea soup. She hates peas☺ I agree with you on toilet paper. I always have extra!

    Ann Thompson says:

    That is one basket full of cuteness. I want one.
    I think the grossest food I ever had was oysters. Those things are disgusting.
    Limitless supply of one item? I really can’t think of what I would want.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I don’t like oysters either. Slimy. Glad you’re doing well. Big hug. 🙂

    What a cute filled basket, Sandee. I couldn’t start the weekend much better than that😻 Your toilet papurr answer was purrfect, and the first one delicious…licks paws…I would go for that cut beef too, in fact I have one slice effurry day lately…MOL…In our Country they eat split pea soup effurry Winter, I don’t know if it’s a traditional Dutch food, but Granny doesn’t like it either, especially because it’s also filled with fatty bacon…Yikes!
    Thank you for bringing your heartwarming purrayers and Pawkisses to our bloggie, dear Sandee. It’s good to have furriends like you💗Extra Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞

    That’s a basket full of sweet trouble there.

    It was in my mind to say toilet paper, too. That was a mess.

    You and Mr. Zane have a great weekend. Hugs!

    Adorable kittens. Thanks for hosting Feline Friday and for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I have never had that meal, but it sounds good. I am not a fan of split pea soup either. I think we all learned how important toilet paper is in 2020. Have a wonderful weekend. XO

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      It was delicious and they prepared it table side. A wonderful experience. You have a wonderful weekend too. 🙂

    Mom loves split pea soup, it must be how it is made that makes a difference. We always have a ton of toilet paper on hand around here as Mom never wants to run low and this came in handy when it was suddenly in short supply and we had a closet full.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I have tried it and it made me gag. Pea Soup Andersen’s so it was supposed to be the best. 🙂

    Sandee I 100% agree about split pea soup. Starting with the name, the color of it and the texture. Blah!!
    I will neither confirm nor deny that I might have a stashed/hoarded a supply of tp. There are many many things in the world I can make do without but TP is not one of them.
    Hugs and what a precious basket of kitties

    I am with you on the TP and it gets more expensvie each week and I am now hoping I can pay for it and that it will not disapear. I was about to say my gross food was gator tail or snails, could not decide which but then you mentioned split pea soup. that brought back a memory from when I went home after shcool to have a sleep over with my 16 year old freind. they had corn bread and split pea soup, my first and last time to touch it for sure. Your gross is gross, mine was just odd

    Oh you are so right on the split pea soup! I’m not sure if its the color or the taste that’s so objectionable! Have a great weekend. P.S. Loved the basket of kittens. Too cute.

  20. fgsjr2015 says:

    Whenever I observe anxiety in the facial expression of my aging mother, a typical senior, I can also witness how that stress suddenly drains and is replaced with joyful adoration upon her cat entering the room: “Hi, sweetheart,” she’ll say. I know that countless other seniors with pets also experience the emotional benefits of their animals’ presence. (Of course, the animals’ qualities, especially an un-humanly innocence, makes losing that pet someday such a heartbreaking experience.)

    Many of us can appreciate the reciprocally healthy — perhaps even somewhat symbiotic — relationships that can exist between pet cats and their loving and appreciative human hosts, especially physically and/or mentally ill hosts. They have a beneficial influence over humanity that many people still cannot fathom; and this beautiful reality of their positive effect on their human hosts can also be beneficial to the animals themselves.

    I believe that only when overpopulations of unwanted cats are greatly reduced in number by responsible owners consistently spaying/neutering their felines, might these beautiful animals’ presence be truly appreciated — especially for the symbiotic-like healthy relationships they offer their loving owners — rather than taken for granted or even resented. … Until then, cats may remain beautiful yet often misunderstood, prejudged and unjustly despised animals.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I think cats rock and I’ve always loved them. I’ve had many over the years. 🙂

      • fgsjr2015 says:

        Ditto. …

        Along with individual people, society collectively can also be quite cruel towards cats, especially the ‘unwanted’, if not despised, felines.
        It was reported a few years ago that Surrey had an estimated 36,000 feral cats, very many of which suffer severe malnourishment, debilitating injury and/or infection. And I was informed last autumn by Surrey Community Cat Foundation that, if anything, their “numbers would have increased, not decreased, in the last 5 years.”

        Yet the municipal government, as well as aware yet uncaring residents, did little or nothing to help with the local non-profit Trap/Neuter/Release program, regardless of its (and others’) documented success in reducing the needlessly great suffering.
        [That TNR program is the only charity to which I’ve ever donated, in no small part because of the plentiful human callousness towards the plight of those cats and the countless others elsewhere. When I made the largest of my monetary donations ($500) to the T/N/R program, a lady volunteer left me a tearful voice mail expressing her appreciation, which to me suggested a scarcity of caring financial donors.]

        Additionally, 59 kittens and cats were rescued from a feces-filled Surrey home a few days ago. While the Peace Arch News, to their humane credit, rightfully deemed this worthy of frontpage space, Surrey’s Now-Leader newspaper didn’t give these afflicted animals any newsprint. Are these felines and their suffering worth so little? [Email the Now-Leader to let them know your thoughts on this atrocious neglect of feline suffering: edit@surreynowleader.com] … At age 54, I’ve long observed that higher human intelligence is typically accompanied by a seemingly proportional reprehensible potential for evil, or malice for malice’s sake.

        Dogs also get abandoned/abused but not nearly as prolifically as do cats; even cats that had been house pets before being cowardly, cruelly abandoned. … Perhaps resulting from past bulk contemptible treatment of their species, cats already innately sense that they’re somehow meant to be but a popular target of persecution as they’ve been throughout history. Also, with their reptile-like vertical-slit pupils and Hollywood-cliché fanged hiss when confronted, in a world mostly hostile toward snakes, cats may have a permanent public-relations problem, despite their social-media adorable-pet status.

        I believe there’s a subconscious yet tragic human-nature propensity to perceive the value of animal life (sometimes even human life in regularly war-torn or overpopulated famine-stricken global regions) in relation to the conditions enjoyed or suffered by that life. With the mindset of feline disposability, it might be: ‘Oh, there’s a lot more whence they came’.

  23. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
