M is for ____________
MUSHROOM LOVER – I love all things mushroom and can make a meal of them. I’ll eat them on anything and often do. This year I’m attempting to grow mushrooms in the garden.
MOWING – Even though I don’t have much lawn left here at Chiot’s Run I love to mow.
MAP PERSON – GPS is nice and we have one to help with our travels to events – but I love a good map. You’ll always find me with an atlas in my lap while we’re traveling the country.
MAXIMIZE – Since I’ve got so much going on, I’m pretty good at maximizing my time. I’ve learned to be efficient in the things that I do so I don’t waste time. That way I can get a whole lot more done throughout the week.
MARRIED – This is definitely something that defines me. Mr Chiots and I have been married for 13 years now. Being married is a wonderful thing when you find the right person.

Good Ms! I’m with you on mushrooms – well, all fungi actually, having worked in mycology research for many years, but I still get excited when I find a mushroom! I need to work on that maximize thing though…

I also enjoy maps. Even if they are on the computer. I tend to look at my route before I head out the door, especially when I have never been somewhere before. The atlas is with me on a trip too. It helps with a sense of direction I think. My M’s were motorcycle, mustard (thank you for inspiring me) and menopause! Oh and I enjoy mushrooms too. Emily
to Sincerely, Emily's comment
Oh, mustard – I forgot to mention that one. I love mustards of all colors and flavors.
to Susy's comment
I’m very eager to learn about the future mushroom-growing exploits in your garden.
And (re: K.B’s post), I, too, worked in a mycology lab for a couple of years during undergrad. Weird!
to Emily's comment
Of course, M stands for Maybelline!
Maps?! I can’t believe there is another super freak for maps out there. I absolutely enjoy reading and exploring a map. Do you find, like me, that it’s difficult to get lost?
to MAYBELLINE's comment
Yes, much more difficult to get lost when you have a good map. I find GPS maps to be kind of confusing at times.

We grew our own Portabellas in the spring!

I also love maps. When I’m traveling to a city, I like to see if there is a Pop-Out map for it. It’s about postcard size when folded but includes street maps for walking, subway/train maps if applicable, and listings of things to see. So far I have maps for the Twin Cities, DC, Chicago, Boston, New York, and San Diego, and I will be checking soon to see if there’s one for Denver.
to Karla's comment
Oh, I like your Map Lover. I refuse to get a GPS. I’ve heard too many horror stories about them and I happen to have an excellent sense of direction so maps it is for me.
to Judy's comment
Im back again LOL. I feel like I have been sick all of August. Anyone out there have any tips on fighting a perpetual Yuck… for someone who does not get sick often this is a real drag.
to Candie's comment
I’d highly recommend adding some Blue Ice Royal Butter Oil / Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend – Capsules to your diet, along with some coconut oil and raw milk if possible. After adding these things to my diet I find that I haven’t gotten so much as a sniffle. The vitamin D in the cod liver oil really helps boost immunity, as does coconut oil and good pastured butter & raw milk.
to Susy's comment
I will look into the Capsules, I am trying to find a raw milk option around Dayton but so far have not had any luck. I am starting to use coconut oil so maybe that will help!
to Candie's comment
We used to take the capsules and now take the liquid.
to Susy's comment
Having had an ‘F is for … forager’ I’d love to say mushroom was on my list too. But frankly the thought of picking my own scares me – even experts get it wrong sometimes! I do enjoy eating them though.
I’m still running a day late but hope to catch up with you soon. Today M is for … monster marrows.
to nic@nipitinthebud's comment
M is for MORE! I always seek for something more to this life I have right now. That’s why I love to travel and see the world. :)
