(no subject)
Between entertaining company and work, my diet had frankly sucked for the last three weeks. Basically, it's been whatever carbohydrate I could shovel into myself in sufficient quantity to keep me on my feet and mobile, with occasional all-you-can-eat bad Chinese.
So today, on the way home from work, I stopped at the grocery store. And I kind of had a chlorophyll accident. (Two of each thing in the produce aisle, basically, except the stuff that was three for a dollar.)
Harpy showed up to pick me up for climbing while I was still putting the food away.
I quote from memory:
Harpy: Ohmygawd, what are you drinking?
Platypus: ...juice?
Harpy: It looks like what's washing up on beaches all over the Gulf!
Platypus: Well, I didn't have room in the fridge for the beets with the greens still on. And there were stems left over from the kale in the oven--
Harpy: There's kale in the oven? One bakes kale?
Platypus: With olive oil and salt. To make it crispy?
Harpy: Crispy.
Platypus: Crispy.
Harpy: So you're drinking beet green/kale juice.
Platypus: It has a grapefruit in it?
Harpy: ...
Platypus: It's full of vitamins?
Harpy: ...how about I help you put the rest of these groceries away.
Platypus: Sure. Just toss the milk in the fridge--
Harpy: Chaz, are you aware that you have twelve different kinds of hot sauce?
Platypus: Um.
Platypus: Seventeen*. Actually.
Harpy: ...
Platypus: Want some kale?
*Green Tabasco, Red Hot, Chili Garlic sauce, roasted red chili paste, Hot Cock Sauce, Matouk's pepper sauce, Matouk's Calypso sauce, Matouk's picante sauce, Dick's Hurtin' Habanero Sauce, Big Ed's, chili garlic sesame oil, Pickapeppa sauce, Busha Brown's Pukka sauce, habanero oil, chili vinegar, sweet chili vinegar, and black bean sauce.
