wordless wednesday no. 32

late night hijinks

Idea for using those giant zucchinis your neighbor sneaks onto your porch in August:

did you know?

Are you getting your minimum daily requirement?

tea?

For about a week, I've been under the weather with a nasty little head cold accompanied by a nagging cough. My self-prescribed treatment plan has included plenty of rest, steaming my head, sleeping semi-upright  with a lavender heat pack on my chest, cough syrup, and gallons and gallons of hot liquids.

I've had hot and sour soup, miso soup, ramen, red zinger tea, lemon zinger tea, ginger tea with honey and lemon, black tea, green tea, red tea and chamomile tea. And you know what? 

The tea that really hits the spot is very traditional, a tea your grandmother probably drank: Earl Grey. It's basically a black tea infused with oil of bergamot, derived from a type of very aromatic citrus fruit something like a cross between an orange and a lemon. The flavor is very floral, almost like lavender, and very soothing with honey and a bit of milk.

It's also the tea of choice for the captain of the Starship Enterprise, Jean Luc Picard...and the Captain knows best.

I'm feeling better already.

strange food

This morning I sliced into an ordinary tomato, 

and this is what I found:

I think the universe may be trying to tell us something.

what's for dinner?

I came across this new food item in 

the grocery store this afternoon:

Radiant Farms Unicorn meat.

 Magic in every bite, and an excellent source of sparkles.

I am so glad I'm a vegetarian!

alien beings inhabit potatoes

I cleaned out the potato basket in the kitchen today, and found this:

It definitely belongs under the category of miracle food.

It creeps me out that it was lurking in my kitchen. 

Now I'm afraid to clean out the refrigerator.

sunnyside up

I've been working in a place where they keep the fried eggs in a drawer...along with fall leaves and popsicle sticks. I guess it would be weird if it were a restaurant, but it's a commercial photo studio. Welcome to the world of advertising. (And don't believe everything you see!)

yet another wordless wednesday

is it (wordless) wednesday again already?
