What Would You Do If…

Fun

21 Jun

Hello! Have you ever had something happen and it sucks and it’s your own damn fault so you can only be mad at yourself?

Because, that’s me.

Remember when I said something about having random tiny beetles in my condo??! Well, they were carpet beetles and I got rid of them super fast because I don’t have carpet. I think my neighbors moved and in the process had them or something?

Anyway. I got rid of them, but was so grossed out I decided to put moth balls EVERYWHERE because I read that they kill moths (obvi) and carpet beetles. Boom. This will not happen again! I am going to moth ball the hell out of every inch of this place!!

 

Well. I had never used moth balls before. Have you?

I put them in big plastic containers with my towels, blankets, clothes… EVERYTHING.

And last night I went to get some towels out of one of the containers and realized…

IT SMELLS SO GROSS. So so gross.

Then, I started to think about all the other places I stuck them. I went to get the blankets from the couch storage compartment and Vegas usually jumps in there to be nosy but the smell grossed him out too.

Anyway. I got out all the moth balls and am now washing everything in vinegar to get the smell out.

It’s all my fault so I’m going to just laugh about it (because I can’t cry as I don’t have anything non-disgusting smelling to wipe my tears).

Since I had a major fail and cannot be trusted with adulting, please chime in with what you would do in the following situations…

What would you do?

1. You get an epic delivery of ice cream from Enlightened.

What’s your strategy to eat 7 pints of ice cream?

Open every pint that day to taste a little of each one.

Open 2 or 3 and have a serving of each.

Eat one at a time.

2. My painter friend brought me a zucchini from her garden. It’s so awesome!!

What would you make with a massive zucchini? 

Stuffed zucchini

Calabacitas

Veggie lasagna

Other?

 

3. You noticed one of your favorite running shirts shows sweat in a very dramatic pattern across your belly.

What do you do?

Keep wearing it.

Avoid wearing it, but use as needed.

Give it away.

4. You buy 86 pounds of mixed nuts, but prefer one kind.

Do you eat the…

almonds first

cashews first

peanuts first

pecans first

brazil nuts first

eat whatever I grab

5. A pack of water balloons ends up in your grocery haul.

Do you…

Keep it and have a water balloon fight.

Return it back to the store and get your money back.

6. You get a delivery of Boom Chicka Popcorn on a hot day that includes dark chocolate drizzle. It’s probably pretty melted.

Do you…

Open it anyway and enjoy some messy chocolate popcorn

Put it in the fridge to harden and eat later.

7. Avocado prices are killing your grocery budget.

Do you…

Use coupons and shop sales so it fits in your budget.

Decide to steal a huge avocado truck and eat guacamole like a king.

Okay – what would you do?

Question: Take the poll! And let me know if you have suggestions on the zucchini! Thanks!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      HAHAHAHAHA oh my god that’s a LOT of avocado!!

      1. I’ll open each one of them to have a taste. Decide which on is my favorite and probably eat that one first.

      2. I’ll do veggie lasagna just because I’ve been craving it lately.

      3. If it’s really my favorite shirt I’ll keep wearing it.

      4. I’ll eat cashews first.

      5. I’ll keep it and have a party with them.

      6. I’ll put in the freezer and eat it later.

      7. I’ll stop eating avocado.

      For the zucchini I would put it in the grill and eat it with steak.

      Zucchini bread! I’d keep the ballons (that’s what I said in the poll) but probably not have a balloon fight. Just too lazy to return them but also too lazy to fill them. Maybe give them to some kids!

      Eat the Brazil nuts first and get those nasty things out of the way so you can get to the good stuff. There’s a reason you’ve never heard of brazil nut butter…

      Zucchini bread! My grandma had the best recipe. It was more like zucchini pound cake than bread, which is probably why it was so good.

      Make Fannetastic foods lemon zucchini muffins. They are AMAZING, they freeze really well, and the nutrition stats are really good!
      I also like to make zucchini pancakes… kind of like potatoe pancakes… I use shredded zucchini, Parmesan, an egg, italian season, and either Panka or almond flour. These can be baked and they turn out really well. I do. Or have an official recipe… I just modified some I found online. After two years of major failures, my garden has been overflowing with ginormous zucchini’s.. it had been awesome!!

      I would keep the shirt and keep wearing it.. Who cares about the sweat. Sweat is cool anyway!! Lol makes u look like u ran a million miles so show it off . haha! Slice the zuchini longway and Grill the zuchini with a little olive oil n salt.
      About the ice cream i would have a little of each that way u get a rainbow of flavors. Keep the waterballoons u never know when youll be bored n have a balloon fight. And about the popcorn let the chocolate harden .
