Friday Feast #113
Appetizer
What is your favorite herb or spice?
Wow! Just ONE? Well, I use dill a lot! On fish, on pasta,
on potatoes, in salads. I don't know that it's my FAVORITE... but
I use too many to pick just one!
Soup
Name a song you like but haven't heard in a long time.
LOL! Okay... we're goin' waaaaaaaaay back on this one!
The Kingston Trio --- "Tijuana Jail"! How many of you remembe THAT one? HUH?
Salad
If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be?
Oh dear God! How fast can I write? About 40!
Main Course
Tell something interesting about one of your family members (nothing scandalous, please, just something unique).
Well... if it's not scandalous it's not fun! LOL! This isn't "too" bad! My eldest brother has a "knack" for breaking the law in front of God and everybody, and NOT getting caught! One time he was walking past a "major" hotel in downtown DC and saw a HUUUUUGE rubber tree plant in their lobby. He thought he'd like to have a tree like that for his apartment, so he walked in, picked it up (and it was QUITE heavy) and walked out with it -- just like it was the most natural thing on Earth to do! Nobody said ONE word. No one stopped him, no one chased him. He took the plant, put it in his truck and drove home! Of course, we (his family) were all appalled! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING? But that was my brother! Oh the tales I could tell ya!
Dessert
What's the latest you've ever stayed awake?
Oh geez! Back "in the day" I stayed up all night several times! Go to work, come home, party til waaaaaay too late to try to sleep, ... and go to work again! The YOUNG can DO these things! (but I've also done it a few times in say the past 10 years, when I get SO into a book that I can NOT put it down! I almost hate when that happens!)

Thanks for the lyrics on my post!!!! Now I can actually sing to the song in my head instead of humming the tune.
Your brother is too FUNYY!!! I went on a triple date one time and the guys my girlfriends and I were with stopped at a hotel downtown and stole the roses off the front counter! Us girls didn't know until we were all walking back down the street. I was horrified, but it's funny looking back at it.
Nice to meet you!

Great feast. I love that your brother did that! Too funny. I have heard that the easiest way to take something is just to go in and act like it is the most natural thing in the world.

The Tijuana Jail by the Kingston Trio
We went one day about a month ago (a-ha-ha)
To have a little fu-un (a-ha) Mexico
We ended up in a gambling spot (oh yeah) a-ha-ha
Where the liquor flow-owed and the dice were hot
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't pa-a-a-a-ay
Just send our ma-ail to the Tijuana Jail
I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough (long green)
And then I hea-ard the whistle blow
We started to run when a man in blue
Said, Señor, come with me ‘cause I want you
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't pay
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail (shout)
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free
I couldn't raise a penny if ya threatened me
I know five "hunderd" don't sound like much
But just try to find somebody to touch
So here we are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't pay
Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail

Thanks for visiting my feast! I loved your comment because you have sooo much enthusiasm! My hubby always gets on my case for using too many exclamation marks; he's much more laid back than me. We balance each other out!
Have a great weekend!

Gosh, your brother sounds like my cousin Mike. I was teasing saying I wanted Forrest Gump's bench down at the square. Guess what is sitting in my back yard!! A city bench!
I did call and report it, God forbid I don't wanna be hauled to jail for receiving stolen property but told them I had no idea who or how it got there. That was four years ago. They replaced the bench at the square immediately but nobody wants to come here and take this one. It surely isn't comfortable.
