Hi, there! I'm sorry I wasn't around yesterday. I am in a huge time-crunch this week, and through the weekend and early next week. I lost a day and a half of work-time in the past week, due to waiting half a day in a parking lot to be towed to a car repair, and then Easter with the family. I'm not sure I've ever felt this busy. Maybe when my twins were infants and I had a 7 year old in the house, too. I just barely managed to get meals on the table. But I'm managing. What did you manage for meals this past week? Anyone not have ham? If you didn't do ham for Easter, what did you choose?

I hope you all had a great week, and wishing you a lovely weekend!

Survey on Quick and Easy Suppers

Humor me one more time, please. So, in my class, I have to execute one more survey, to familiarize myself with another web product. However, this time I can choose my topic, and there were no limitations. Since I really do not like asking someone to do something from which they will not receive any benefit, I tailored this survey to one of our collective interests: saving money while preparing inexpensive, home-cooked meals.

As far as survey products go, this one has a more attractive appearance than the last one. It feels easy to navigate on the respondents end, too. Both of those are important features, I think. Let me know in the comments, on my blog, what you think, or if you have trouble with the form. I don't know how well this will work, embedded on this blog; and I won't know until this becomes active.

And if you don't have time right now, or your mobile device doesn't support this survey, no worries. I only need a handful of guinea pigs participants.  Some time next week, I'll post a compilation of the results. Maybe we can all take something away from this, in the form of idea exchange.
Have a lovely Wednesday!
