ON THE MENU MONDAY~ Week Of May 7, 2012

This week I had a biopsy of my thumb nail bed (no worries) so my left hand was a little out of commission!

I was not able to cook or use my hand very well.

The recipe I planned to make and post could not be done and the silver spoon garden markers did not get finished! What's a blogger to do when her best laid posting plans go awry... Write about yourself!!! YIKES!

So, I posted 10 RANDOM THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME yesterday! I didn't want this to be all about me, so I asked my readers to tell me something about them too!

It was AMAZING and soooooo much fun! This has become my favorite post because of all the interesting responses!!!!! I found out some delightful and funny random facts about you!

Here are just a few...
