All day Friday I kept reminding myself that I had to get my Four Foods on Friday post up. Here it is Saturday morning, and I’m just now getting around to it because I spent my Friday night paying bills, including car insurance.

1. Does your family usually eat meals in the kitchen or somewhere else?

When Mike is home we eat at the table, when we’re alone we eat on the couch or at the desk, and I know there are endless theories about how bad it is for you to eat in front of the TV or computer because you’re distracted and don’t realize when you’re full, but it’s just depressing to eat at the kitchen table by yourself.

2. Who usually does the dishes in your house?

Mike will say that he does, but I still assert that I load and unload the dishwasher my fair share.

3. What’s your favorite small appliance or tool in the kitchen?

I don’t use anything fancy, but the flexible avocado slicer is terrific because it’s made of plastic so you can squeeze the handle to fit any size avocado and you can’t slice and dice your fingers because there aren’t any sharp edges.

4. This one’s for my son. Share a recipe for chili.

My version of chili is basically beans, meat, and lots of oyster crackers and cheese, but I know my mom puts lots of tomatoes, chili powder, and cumin in her chili.
