Who Taught You?

on February 7, 2010
in All Posts

The Husband would be very proud of me! I spent the last thirty minutes explaining football to my mom.  :)  I wasn’t raised in a very sporty family, obviously!  The Husband taught me everything I know about sports.

 

Mom made dinner for me while I cheered on the Saints.

I was excited to try a new Morningstar product, Veggie Bites Broccoli Cheddar.  I don’t normally buy frozen “faux meat” products, but they can be a nice change.

They were good!  I had four and dipped them in Dijon mustard.

I also had a sweet potato and steamed veggies.

Dessert was a couple of crackers with raspberry jam.

I’ve got to hit the hay.  I’m hoping to wake up really early and get my drive on – it’s 650+ miles between Powell and Orlando!

    i have a feeling this is going to be more wordy than you were hoping for (would you expect anything less?)

    •Who taught you about sports? i started playing sports when i was pre-middle school, so I guess I learned through coaches- as for sports i didnt play, my parents did a great job of taking us to games when we were growing up and they would both spend time teaching us what was going on as we cheered on our favorite teams (Go, Bucky Badger!)

    •Who taught you to drive? My first series boyfriend was a few years older than me in high school, so he had his license first- he used to let me drive on the back roads.

    •Who taught you to kiss? I don’t know how I learned to kiss. just gradual learning with boyfriends. Inspiration via television?

    •Who taught you to swim? I STILL dont know how to swim. I’m a bit scared about that.

    •Who taught you to cook? my mom teaches me to cook when I call her mid-kitchen experiment and ask her things like “can i cook a burger patty on the stove top” (thank you sophomore year of college) or “do i put the eggs in the water before or AFTER its boiling?” (thank you two years ago.) I also often use my dictionary as a cookbook. When i first started experimenting in the kitchen, i didnt know what MINCE meant, so i looked up the definition. etc.

    •Who taught you long division? i have absolutely no recollection of when i learned long division. I remember NOT learning Trig very well. And my dropping the class. but that was years later.

  • Marianne February 8, 2010, 12:34 am

    * Who taught you about sports? My daddy! He instilled a love of sports in me very young, and was my softball coach for years.

    •Who taught you about sex? From mom. She really tried to be comfortable and open about it. I wasn’t a very receptive of what she had to say. She always offered a listening ear though. I learned a lot from my group of girl friends and it still is a learning process in my relationship today.
    •Who taught you to kiss? Oh my gosh! My first boyfriend and kiss was just awful. So, I’d have to say my current boyfriend (of three years) really helped me become more confortable.
    •Who taught you to swim? My parents helped with the basics and I also took swimming lessons at the local pool for a few years.

  • Bonnie February 8, 2010, 6:34 pm

    Who taught you about sports? My ex-girlfriend taught me about baseball… but other than that sport, i’m still pretty clueless. :/
    Who taught you to drive? I’m not sure. I think my parents were too afraid to teach me, so I mostly learned from a driving instructor.
    Who taught you about sex? Again, not so sure. I think I learned mostly from books, I guess. I don’t think my parents have ever talked to me about sex.
    Who taught you to kiss? My first boyfriend.
    Who taught you to swim? My mom and a swimming instructor. I’ve been a big swimmer all my life, I wish I’d stuck with it.
    Who taught you to cook? I don’t really know how to cook… except to steam broccoli (my FAVORITE) and to make pasta.
    Who taught you long division? My fourth grade teacher!

    Oh, and I know you don’t eat faux meats very much, but I have to recommend Quorn to you. They make an array of veggie meats and the Chik’n nuggets are amazing! They don’t use soy, so there isn’t a risk of breast cancer. They use something called mycoprotein, which is derived from mushrooms, truffles and other types of fungus. They taste EXACTLY like chicken, it’s really remarkable.
    I hope you try them!

    -Bonnie

    • Caitlin February 8, 2010, 6:42 pm

      i have heard such great things about quorn – i will look for the next time im at the store!
