29. When was the last time you had to take part in a fire evacuation?
I think it was at a hotel when I was on vacation. Don't think it was a fire just some dummy smoking in their room. The time before that I was teaching on the second floor of a large building. I dashed out in the hall to see if there might be a fire close by. I saw nothing, and knew nothing about all clear procedures there. Went back in the room. Only some of the students were moving. Some weren't. I told everyone to grab their things and motioned for them to leave the room. Like "a good little teacher," I followed them out of the building. It was nice out, so we sat around in the grass and finished class, if more informally than I planned.
30. Have you ever owned an electric blanket?
No, but my mother had one, and she put it on my bed one very cold night when I was about ten. It was nice and warm, but I don't think they tended to work very long in those days. My parents might have used it quite a while, but I only knew it later, when we were using it as just another blanket.
OCTOBER
1. It’s National Cookbook Month – do you own many cookbooks, or do you rely on the internet for recipe ideas?
Shockingly, I own about ten cookbooks, half of which I originally bought for my mother as Christmas gifts (she collected recipes.) I only use one or two of them, mostly when I try to cook something I haven't tried before.
2. Have you ever made chili (with meat or vegetarian)? Even if you haven’t, what do you like to have alongside chili as part of the meal?
Yes, I've made it many times. I'd make some this winter if the price of beef moderates. The chili I make is hearty enough that a salad is about the only other thing at the meal.
3. Do you have well-organized kitchen storage?
Well, I keep my wrenches, screw drivers and pliers separate from the breakfast cereal and tea bags. Does that count? 😂
