My Go-To Comfort Foods

What’s your go-to comfort food?
View all responses

Comfort food is important on tough days. Here I will answer this question by the three meals I have daily.

Breakfast – I love oatmeal during the week. On weekends I enjoy cooking pancakes/waffles. Also, a cinnamon roll can be good.

Lunch – I am a kid when it comes to lunch where I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with corn chips. I also enjoy tuna fish and Reuben sandwiches when I need something more substantial.

Dinner – A loaded baked potato with pulled pork is good. Sesame chicken is something I enjoy anytime but especially on tough days. I also like a big plate of spaghetti. If it has meatballs then it is even better.

When days are tough I enjoy a snack of an oatmeal raisin cookie and a soda.

Currently, bedtime is about 11:00 PM or so. I set the alarm for 5:50 AM but snooze until about 6:20 some days. On Saturdays, I normally sleep in and on Sunday we set the alarm for 7:30 to get up for church. It’s a routine that works for us.

Travel opens the heart and mind. We are returning to Canada in September. We first visited in April 2019. I would like to see the UK, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Scandinavian countries. Mexico would be fascinating as well.

Fall/Autumn Is For Me!

What is your favorite season of year? Why?
View all responses

I love Fall/Autumn. The changing of the colors of trees, the coolness of the air (sometimes), and it’s just cozy. I think life slows down in some ways but picks up in others. Fall/Autumn is the season of hugs, hayrides, and pumpkin spice lattes for those who enjoy that. Also, it’s the season of Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I haven’t forgotten those noble holidays that are all about candy and turkey. I await Fall/Autumn even though it isn’t technically Summer yet.

Have you ever broken a bone?

I haven’t broken a bone in my 54 years (knock on wood) but I have broken three teeth by accident. All of those broken teeth had to be extracted. That is not fun at all.

I Do Practice Religion, Respectfully

Do you practice religion?
View all responses

My name is Tony and I have been a religious person all my life. My spiritual journey has been one of faith and doubts. My belief in God is a part of who I am but not all that I am. As I have said before I am in no way a perfect believer. No one should be because it requires lots of practice and sometimes you fail but that is OK.

I know that Jesus loves me for who I am as a unique creation. My spiritual life is based on the notion that God is with me and has given me free will to make my own decisions and to make mistakes along the way. I am grateful to be with my missus who is traveling the same road.

My personal practice is based on loving God and my neighbors. Attending worship and having fellowship with fellow believers. I attend the rites and rituals of The Episcopal Church which is a part of the Anglican Communion. From there I find comfort and purpose to make the world better through loving those in my community who are different and even those who are not religious themselves.

As a religious person, I have made it my vow to be respectful to all. God would like it if all his kids would do that. However, when you see injustice you gotta call it out. That means you can’t always be nice and not everyone will like you.

All I ask for is understanding. My faith practice is not up for debate. I will answer questions to the best of my ability. I hope we can still be friends.
