kale stems

Purple is my favorite color.  Always has been. But when I was little, I liked it so much that I convinced myself that I liked beets, even though I didn’t, and I also would always choose the purple lollipop even though I liked the red ones better.  I wonder if I’d have gone for purple kale. Kids are weird.

second breakfast

At work, I often have programs that run right over the lunch hour, and I don’t sit down to eat until after 2:00.  It doesn’t really bother me, but it is nice to have a snack to tide me over before the program begins.  This tasty chocolate-and-orange combo just about hit the spot this morning.

Went down to the basement this morning to  put some groceries in the freezer.  Saw this big slab ‘o meat hanging from the ceiling.  Was only mildly alarmed, given who I am married to. Shook my head, went back upstairs.
