Three Things...Gratitude Thread

TGIF Friends

#1 - Fritos Honey BBQ Twists - one of my favorites and I can eat my weight in them. I only eat a few on the weekend with my lunch, because if I didn’t do that, I go throw a bag a week - LOL!

#2 - Twisted Bully Sticks - they help keep my puppy busy for awhile, which is good because he’s a very very very, very busy puppy (who’s 11 months old today )

#3 - Spiraled Notebook - I use one at work every day.

Pretzels
Yarn
Rope - shocking how many times I need a piece of rope

Rings - My engagement ring and wedding band were made from the same mold. They have a twisted rope relief pattern on the front and back side of the band.

Soft pretzels - I am a huge fan of soft pretzels. Probably my favorite twisted food! As a treat, I sometimes buy boxes of SuperPretzel or the Kroger soft pretzel twist sticks. It also reminds me of this pretzel bakery in PA that we periodically visited where you got to go on the factor tour and then were taught how to make a pretzel with all of the proper twists.

Rotini - It's a really good shape for grabbing "stuff." Ya know, pasta with purpose. It's the backbone of my shrimp and feta pasta salad. Although, the Trottole shape as well as Fusilli and Radiatore are also a good one for holding stuff. I even sometimes would use that on mac and cheese.

Honorable mention - Kohr's Twisted Cones - This was always a treat whenever we'd go to the boardwalks in NJ. I'd often get the orange/vanilla twist because it seemed to be the traditional, but if it was a good day and they had flavors going other than vanilla/chocolate, I might get lucky and have something like mint or raspberry twist.

I'll agree with soft pretzels, especially if it's the Jalapeno Pretzel they used to have in Animal Kingdom.

Soft serve ice cream twist cones, especially those served on a Disney cruise ship pool deck.

Twisty water slides at any water park or cruise ship deck.

Good morning everyone When I was younger I enjoyed twisty cones and spiral shaped mac and cheese. Dad does sometimes enjoy pretzels currently. We both use spiral notebooks.

Yes, I love it! I am rarely close enough to use the photo feature, very tall trees in my neighborhood, but I walk around holding out my iPhone in the direction of the sounds. I must look like a Star Trek TNG character with a tricorder!

LOL, I know the exact Star Trek method you're talking about. Just wanted to share...I tried it this morning and (at least on my phone) it seems to be super sensitive. Rather than going outside and holding my phone out, I sat in my family room and hit record as soon as I could hear some birds outside. I didn't hold it in that direction or anything. It was just sitting on my coffee table. It picked up the sound and identified the bird almost instantly. I'm pretty certain it's correct as this is what likes to nest in my breezeway each year and they often stick to the trees nearby. In any event, you might be able to take a more relaxed approach when recording
for your IDs.

Love spiral shaped pasta! It catches the cheese

Does my single braid that goes down my back count as a twisty thing? It keeps getting thinner, but I’ve worn my hair the same way for many, many years.

Twistable crayons, don’t need sharpening

Braids definitely count!

Today's Topic (Sat, 4/26) - 3 contributions by first ladies that you're grateful for

(Yes, it's a topic with homework. - But you're already on the internet if you're reading this, so it won't be hard! You can pick a specific first lady or mix and match.)

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm going with Eleanor Roosevelt:

She expanded the role of first lady from ceremonial hostess to active participant in causes.

She helped to write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

She gave us many inspiring quotes (ex: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.") and I've collected quotes since I was a teen.
