It's Wednesday again -- and time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge at From This Side of the Pond, where Joyce writes the questions and bloggers provide the answers! Here we go ...
1. What's worth standing in line for?
Homemade ice cream! Especially with homemade waffle bowls.
2. Tell us about a favorite food related memory.
Since it's still August, I'll continue with the ice cream theme. When I was a child, it seemed that a few times a summer when relatives would visit at my grandmother's on a weekend afternoon, homemade ice cream would be made. The flavors I remember being made most often were pineapple sherbet and chocolate ice cream. That is my grandmother's sherbet recipe, below.
3. What are some things you find particularly peaceful or calming?
Watching ocean waves crashing in and ebbing out. Sitting by a lake shore smelling sun-warmed pine needles and hearing the soft swish of gentle waves against the shore. Looking up at the night sky full of stars.
4. Is there something you do now that gets you just as excited as it did when you were a child?
Making things that are beautiful, useful, or just fun.

Just fun -- a shield in use!
5. To what degree are you in touch with friends from grade school? high school? college if you attended college?
To almost no degree. Occasionally I see a friend or two from grade school/high school in the grocery store or at some other event, but there is no keeping in touch.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
After super hot temps last week, we are down into the 60s and 70s during the day. It's fine -- I really prefer it not so hot -- but it was a sudden transition!
And there's the Hodgepodge for this week!
