Tidbits....
Did you know that, if you go an entire day without petting your cat, when you next see him he'll have a crop circle or two in his fur?
Did you know that parsnips, the perhaps the most rejected vegetable in Western civilization, with the possible exception of turnips, are delicious steamed/sauted with red onion?
Did you know that Whole Foods Market, the huge, wholesome, fresh organic store, is selling a raspberry crisp bar that looks very much like the oat and fruit crisps I make for myself to keep me from eating bad things? Could you imagine that it had enough sugar in it to trigger a diabetic incident in a water buffalo, if water buffaloes liked sugar?
(I mean, I cannot believe I ate that thing. I hope I don't get ill. Like two slabs of sugar with raspberry jam between. And not a lot of raspberry jam. I was on automatic, and now I am wired. I won't be fooled again!)
On the other hand, Whole Foods' marzipan almond horns no longer have a thin veil of chocolate on the tips, and are once again horns, so all my wiccan friends can use them in ceremony.
Finally -- my cat chewed me out tonight. I get home staggering under a good-sized box, and Max, all 17 years young, came swiftly down the staircase to yell at me for working too hard in the heat. Makes it hard for him to channel my energy or something.
So -- tomorrow, not so much hard work as accomplished work -- I hope.
