Welcome to Tuesday 4 in memory of Toni Taddeo...
This is one of Toni's last Tuesday 4 posts published December 9, 2019.
1. When was the last time you tried something new?
The last time I tried something new was a few days ago. I made a Curried Chicken dish with raisins and peaches. The latter was substituted for dried apricots which I did not have.
The only other new thing I've done lately is try a new facial serum. I'll know it works if it minimizes my wrinkles.
2. Who in your family do you compare yourself to?
I don't compare myself to anyone. However many extended family members and old family friends compare me to my late mom. They can't get over how much I look like her in height (short), build and facial features. My late father was also short. Mom used to like to laugh at me because she was "taller" by one quarter inch and we'd tease one another about being short. Though we looked alike and shared many same values, we were also very different people in many ways.

3. What lesson in life did you learn the hard way?
I learned one very important lesson the hard way and that is in life you will often stand alone. It's best to anticipate this so you are not surprised when it happens. Good lessons in life are often painful but what they teach helps you so much as your journey through life's byways.
4. What can you do today that you weren't able to do before?
That's a difficult question. I can't say I've really learned to do things that I couldn't do before though there are definitely still some things I'd like to learn. For now I keep practising some things and hopefully improve on them. Especially things that don't come naturally like knitting and cooking.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I appreciate you!

I think one of the hard lessons I learned builds on yours. Yes, you can't always depend on others to be there, but I've eventually learned that I am never alone. The Lord is always there waiting for me to get smart enough to rely on Him.
I'm glad you tried the recipe and hope you enjoyed it. It's pretty simple -- I love things you can just toss in the oven for awhile and get on with the rest of life. These questions always intrigue me. Well, the answers, especially!
Curried chicken dish sounds good. I think its cute how you and your Mom teased about height. I am much taller than my daughter who is just about 5 feet and I am 5'6" so I tease her about being so tiny/
I agree with you on #3. That has been my experience anyway. Loved your answers! Have a nice week!

The curried chicken looks so good!
I'm glad you included that photo of your sweet mom. She was cute and I'm glad you have good memories of time together.
Okay, that dish sounds interesting. How was it? I enjoyed the rest of your answer.
It was absolutely delicious and full of flavour.
Hi Penny,
...what a sweet photo of your Mom...and that curried chicken reminds me of when I was a 'tweenager'...and my Mom was working with the GAs (Girls in Action) a youth group for teenage girls at our church...and the girls who were a little bit older than me all came to our house and they were doing a unit on missions in India...and then they all gathered in the kitchen and made a rice and curry dish...it was the first time I'd ever had curry...I loved it... and this was such a good memory...
~Have a lovely day!
