11. Do you wear a watch?

Yes, I wear an Apple watch (but would wear a watch nonetheless.) I know most people just will look at their phone, but I like and am used to having the time on my wrist.

9. Is there something that someone close to you does which really irritates you, but you’ve never said anything to them about it?

K does some things I find annoying, but I have grown used to them over the years, so only find them mildly irritating.

10. Have you ever made mayonnaise from scratch?

Yes, many times. It is very easy with the food processor or with a hand mixer. I used to make all of my condiments and hope to that again in retirement.
