Hi Cheryl! That baby blanket is so gorgeous!! I ordered yarn for the Wildflower KAL, but I also have some things in line before that. We will see if I get there. 😁 I loved hearing about some of your Lenten promises! I have a goal related to fasting as well, but I am focusing on the eating window rather than the fasting window as it works better for my schedule as it bounces around a fair amount. Anyway, I am trying for a five hour eating window five times a week, with a little bit looser window two days. I have had a weekly Holy Hour for many years, but at the opposite end of the day. Mine is Wednesdays at 11:00 pm. Sometimes I would rather be in bed, but other times I can’t wait to get there and adore our Lord! I hope that your hour will stay with you after Lent is done. 💜
I love the idea of going to Adoration in the middle of the night or even late night, but now it just seems so at odds with my body clock. I really do want to stick with the Holy Hour from now on!
I have been fasting for about 3 years. I started to lose a bit of weight, but now I just love the way that I feel. Normally, I am the same as you, having a flexible window. I just wanted it to feel like I was sacrificing during Lent.
I’ve never heard of green peppers being called mangoes! I’m from Upstate NY so they were always peppers! I’m excited for the Wildflower KAL! My yarn is ready to go!
It must just have been a regional thing! It was just interesting that I had forgotten all about it until Fat Squirrel mentioned it! The KAL will be here before we know it. So exciting!!
Hi Cheryl! Fun episode! I loved seeing your family members modeling their wildflower tees. So sweet! I’ve lived in GA all my life and we’ve always called green peppers bell peppers. And red and yellow peppers are red bell peppers and yellow bell peppers. Sometimes those are just red and yellow peppers but “bell” distinguishes them from banana peppers, or chili peppers. Same with the green bell peppers--distinguishes them from other green peppers. I’m not a fan of hot peppers and bell peppers are always mild so I know I’m getting a mild pepper with a bell. Oh, we also enjoy a coke now and then!
Hey, fellow Georgian! Interestingly, my family is originally from Rhode Island, but have been in Georgia since '62, so I claim it as my home. We always have said bell peppers, too, but I am going to guess that comes from that New England background since my mom is the one who I remember saying it the most and she NEVER picked up southern ways. LOL!
@@WombatofDOOM53 Hi! What part of the state are you in? We are right near the center, about an hour from Macon. Are you playing along with the Wildflower Tee KAL?
@@susansmith3264 I'm in McDonough. I'm not doing the KAL because I'm up to my ears in charity knitting. This year I have big goals for my donations and so far I'm doing well with them. Of course, it's only February, but I hope to continue the trend.
I grew up in Cincinnati and of German descent. My dad said mango instead of green bell pepper. He said goober peas for garbanzo beans. We always said pop instead of soda. The one that caused a debate for me and a friend was dinner. I grew up using it interchangeably with supper, meaning the evening meal. My friend said it is used for the midday meal when it is more formal, like Sunday dinner after church.
I never heard of green peppers being called mangoes, but I love it! On a similar note though, I grew up hearing sloppy joes being called hot tamales. I wasn't until I moved out and went to college that I learned what a real tamale is 😂 I have my yarn ready, and I'm super excited for the Wildflower MAL! 😊
I never heard of green peppers (or bell peppers) being called mangoes. I’m assuming the fruit, mango, was rare then. I never had one until I was an adult. I grew up in NJ and called soft drinks soda, but lived several years as a young adult in TN, where all sodas were ‘coke’. If you asked for a coke in a restaurant, they’d say, “What kind?”- could be 7-up, root beer, Coke, etc. I am so tempted to join your Wildflower kal, but I have so many other things on the go, including the Solomon poncho and a cowl kal starting in March among other things. It will just have to wait awhile, but I will make it at some point. I’ll watch everybody else’s progress and get some color ideas.
Back in Rhode Island, we also said soda, but living in Georgia now everything is Coke. I know it's heresy, but I don't drink Coke anymore. I gave it up for Lent a few decades ago and now I honestly don't care for the taste. But give me a Dr. Pepper anytime! LOL!
I am from Texas and never heard anyone call a sweet pepper a mango. We always called them peppers (bell, sweet, green, red, etc). Mangoes were also a normal fruit, too and not “exotic”.
I call them green peppers. So what do you call the fruit called mangoes? Are they both mangoes? 😃 I also mostly say pop but sometimes soda, and we also call what most people call water fountains (I think?) bubblers. I’m from Wisconsin, lived here my whole life.
Paisley is so excited for her wildflower tee! She’s going to get the little house on the Prairie set. One of her favorite book series
Yay! She will be so cute..... and I KNOW you will get good pictures, right?
Love the baby blanket!
Thank you! I thought I was never going to get it off the needles. Glad it is done and ready to go.
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Hi Janet. Thanks so much for watching

I guess we also call them green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Is Coke just Coke or any fizzy soft drink?
Any fizzy soft drink. 😂

hi i always enjoy watching you the baby sweater is cute i am working in dish clothes
Thank you. Whatever you make, knitting is good in so many ways. Good for your brain, mind, and body.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing your projects in the Wildflower KAL. :)
Yes! Do you have your yarn?
I started my second Wildflower last night. :) @@WiseOwlKnits
We have green red and yellow peppers. We call them capsicum. 💖 from Australia
Are they hot or sweet?

We said supper too. I don’t think we even knew about garbanzo beans.

Hot tamales!! So funny!
Can’t wait to see your Wildflower

Jump in to the KAL anytime!

Wisconsin here, and I’ve never heard anyone refer to a bell pepper as a mango.
I just asked my co-worker who is from near South Bend. Bell peppers for her too!
I am from Texas and never heard anyone call a sweet pepper a mango. We always called them peppers (bell, sweet, green, red, etc). Mangoes were also a normal fruit, too and not “exotic”.
I guess it is just a small, regional thing!
I call them green peppers. So what do you call the fruit called mangoes? Are they both mangoes? 😃 I also mostly say pop but sometimes soda, and we also call what most people call water fountains (I think?) bubblers. I’m from Wisconsin, lived here my whole life.
Now I call the green bell peppers green peppers and mangoes mangoes. When I was growing up, I didn’t even know there was a fruit!
