So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine. ?
1. Cherries or strawberries? (Yes, or, because in this nightmare scenario you can only pick one.)
Cherries, especially Ranier, YUM!

6. Side or center part?

7. Flowing and floor-length, or tight and short?

10. Black and white, or color?

Sweets, you know what I’ve decided? I’m not going to be afraid to say “yes” to new experiences and to new opportunities. That’s my theme for this week (and maybe even for the upcoming month of May). Say yes. 🙂

Karen says
April 24th, 2017 at 2:21 pmOMG! You’ve never had fresh cherries? Hopefully when you visit the Bay Area (because I know it’s gonna happen), it’ll be during a time when they’re available because they’re life changing.
Ya know, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a Mexican breakfast.
Efrain says
April 24th, 2017 at 6:56 pmGoing for cherries seems like a legit reason to go the Bay Area; in fact we also have cherries here but they’re on the expensive side.
A typical Mexican breakfast in a restaurant goes like this:
-A cup of hot coffee, hot chocolate or tea.
-A piece of Pan dulce.
-A glass of juice and/or fresh fruit.
-Main course: Chilaquiles with eggs, enchiladas, enfrijoladas, steak with nopales and black beans, eggs (scrambled, fried or in omelet) with beans, and even pancakes.
So yes it’s a big breakfast.

April 24th, 2017 at 2:20 pmThanks, Tammy! I hope your week is off to a great start, too.
By the way, I remember using those four-color click pens back in college. Everyone in my science classes LOVED them. All throughout lecture you could hear clicking pens in the background. Ahh, good times. I had no idea they still made them.
