QOTW: Olympic fever, Random Acts & Valentine's Day. :)

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately we don't get NBC and we don't have cable, so no watching

the olympics for us.

Planning it kind of takes out some of the random, eh?? LOL I have been

on both sides.

I love garlicky things so a sauce that is oozing with garlic and vegan on

spaghettini (specifically) would make me happy. Love the salads, dressings,

bread if veganized too all with a ton of garlic. Oh, bruchetta is great in

season. Lots of garlic. I usually have to get them to specially prepare

something that it is vegan and most places are happy to do so if they can.

The breads can be problematic at Italian restaurants around here though.

 

I love the ice skating of course and then just what ever is on with a few

exceptions.

 

I do know what you are speaking about with the Random Acts of Kindness, but

I find that there are many such incidents daily if I just pay attention, but

not quite what you are speaking of. The person that is courteous on the

road, the person that gives me a smile or says hello even though a stranger.

The person that holds the door open and lets me go in first. Things like

that are what make my day more than anything else. The people who seem happy

with the world and want to pass that on, or even if they are in a bad mood

try to improve life a bit for everyone else with just a plain compassionate

attitude. PAY IT FORWARD! I love people who have a skill that maybe they

learned in the past who pass it on to others who would like to learn it and

for absolutely no charge. That is rare anymore. To me " paying it forward " or

" passing it on " is what it is all about. Those are the random acts of

kindness to me.

 

No, haven't done Valentine's day in a few years. But I make sure the men

that are around remember it for their sweeties and bitch if they haven't

done anything yet. Drives them batty.

Hi

 

Risotto - just genuine plain risotto with Carneroli rice, Vegetable stock,

Martini Vermouth, Basil and a small dab of tomato puree to taint a soft

pink...mmmm mama mia

 

I love the downhill. Such fiery zest and precision changes of direction

 

I try to be kind to all...all the time...but random...yes I am helping someone

by accompanying them through officialdom when otherwise it would be

overpowering...though I did not know it was 'Random Acts of Kindeness Week'

 

I am looking at a work of art...a trio of red roses set in a tall vase with a

twisted willow...from Seattle to Somerset...ooooooh ... 'Roses are red, violets

are blue...Roses are red, my love for you is true'

Veggie Lasagna with pureed sweet potatoes mixed into the ricotta.

Short track speed skating. Very exciting.
