Feast Ninety-Eight

Time to feast again!

Appetizer
What is a word that you use that would not be considered common?
Well, believe it or not, as I was trying to go to sleep last night, I was thinking about a blog entry for today. I was going to write about how I’m so very Southern, that I use the word “fixin” all the time. I don’t realize it most of the time, but sometimes I catch myself saying it in conjunction with everything. It’s not really uncommon where I live, but it’s something that is probably not prevalent in other parts of the country. You know, “I’m fixin to jump in the shower”, “I’m fixin to head out right now”. 🙄

Soup
What theme of calendar do you have on your wall this year?
It’s called Solitudes – very peaceful, beautiful natures scenes. Lakes, waterfalls, mountains, fields of flowers.

Salad
Name 3 people you speak with by telephone a regular basis.
My sister, my husband, my dad

Main Course
If you could buy a new outfit for someone you know – who would it be and what would you purchase for them?
Probably my sister Gail. We have very similar taste and I think I might could come closer to finding her something that she likes and would fit. We’ve been shopping a lot lately while our husbands are out playing golf. Second choice would be my nieces and nephews. They’d be easy – shirts, shorts, little skirts. You know, cute kid stuff 🙂

Dessert
What is the last beverage you drank?
Orange juice and then coffee with breakfast

    I love to hear Southern people talk. Do you use “I reckon” a lot as well?
    Happy Feast!

  2. Friday's Child Said,

    Pictures of nature.. that’s nice. I love nature too.
    My feast is up too.

  3. expatraveler Said,

  4. Wystful1 Said,

    Your soup sounds delicious. And I had ONE of your desserts! LOL

    Come dine with me, my F F is served.

  5. higher Said,

    another vote for coffee…
    I’m fixin to have a cup after I post this comment 😉

  6. Laura Said,

    Definitely no “fixin” around here. I also love “might could”. Southern talk cracks me up. 😉

    Another thing you never, never hear around here is “supper”. I see people use it online all the time, and saw it in a magazine the other day, but that word isn’t even in my vocabulary.

    We don’t have any cool, regional words here. We are SO West Coast.

  7. southernfriedgirl Said,

    Not only do you do “fixin” but in a later part of that post you said “might could.” Oh yeah, you are Southern. LOLOLOL Love it. Happy Friday.

  8. Amber @ Cafe Physique Said,

    I really enjoyed your feast, and now I’m fixin’ to read some others…Girl, be proud to represent the South!!!

  9. Gail Said,

    Ok, what did you buy me while you were out! I’m waiting anxiously for my new outfit!

  10. Chi Said,

    Loved your Feast! I live in the south too & say “fixin” all the time too…and I reckon & supper (as I’m sure you do too) Also, I love nature so your soup sounds wonderful to me. *s*

  11. Susie Said,

    I say “fixin” too! 😀

  12. expatraveler Said,

    replying to your comments stacey.. Funny you’ve never heard that phrase either… By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your theme! IS that your photo or did you just pick the theme that way with the blue sky and fields of brown…

  13. Lauren Said,

    Well, I hate to argue with you but I did not find you exceedingly mundane, sorry.

    Great feast – love Southern Speak. It makes y’all sound warm and kind.

  14. deb Said,

    Stace, I say “fixin” all the time, too lol! Hope you’re fixin’ to have a great weekend ;~)

  15. Lisa Said,

    Mmmmm, coffee. This is my first time doing the feast, what fun!

  16. Yvaine Said,

    You’re the second one who’s said “Fixin”! 🙂 And the other Feaster said she’s form the South too! what a small world.

    My feast is up and you’re invited!

  17. LadyBug Crossing Said,

    Love your list!
    Thanks for dropping by!

  18. paperback writer Said,

    You know, I haven’t lived south of the Mason Dixon for almost 12 years and I still say “fixin” and “y’all.” I will forever hang out to y’all because it’s pleasing to say y’all and not yinz like they do here in Pittsburgh.

    Good feast and thanks for dropping by!
