Ten On Tuesday- Start of Summer Edition

Hi again! Sorry I've been awol. I've had post ideas rolling around in my head for awhile, but haven't been able to put anything "worthy of reading" together. And upon re-reading old posts, I decided to do another Ten on Tuesday posting, cause they're easy and don't require much thought! Ha! I'm also brainstorming ideas for a good name for a food blog. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Post questions taken from http://rootsandrings.com/. Feel free to play along and link my blog to yours, or vice versa, or whatever!

1. From your childhood, what do you miss most about summer vacation?
Getting up whenever I felt like it, going to Grandma's every day to swim, being able to enjoy the nice weather.
2. Are you going anywhere on vacation this summer?
I don't think so. Husband wants to go to the Dells, but we'll see if we can afford to go.
3. What foods do you like to barbeque?
Hamburgers, Chicken, any meats really!
4. How do you celebrate the Fourth of July?
The 4th is my dad's birthday, so lucky guy gets to celebrate his birthday with a parade and fireworks! We start the day with the parade, then go to my dad's mom's for his birthday party, then we go to my other grandma's house for swimming, boating, falling-off-tube time, eating (we eat massive amounts of food on holidays in my family). Then fireworks at dusk. Not sure what we'll do this year since I work the day after, and we always travel for the 4th.
5. What's your favorite beverage to drink in the summertime?
Lemonade, Iced Tea, MOJITOS!
6. What movie are you looking forward to seeing this summer?
We don't go to movies very often anymore, but I'd like to see The Hangover II. Looks pretty funny.
7. In the car: Windows down or AC?
Depends on the weather. Humid out= AC. Normal/slightly windy= windows down.
8. Have you ever had a summer fling?
Hehehehehe. Maybe.
9. Do you wear sunscreen?
Yes. I have to or else I'll burn pretty bad.
10. Do you have any favorite summertime activities?
Swimming, sun bathing with my favorite girls, Bocce Ball, basically anything outdoors.

That's all for today! See ya later, alligator!

Ten on Tuesday

1. What condiments are always, always in your fridge?

2. How do you like your steak cooked? Your burgers?

4. What’s your go-to dinner when you haven’t planned anything in advance and you don’t feel like going out?
