That's adorable but I'd need like six of them.

I roasted corn and combined it with peppers from my deck and black rice and lime and omg my mouth is on fire. But nomily.

Because books.

That's adorable but I'd need like six of them.

I would keep it on the counter just for the everyday, often used stuff. Cinnamon, sea salt, stuff like that. But not at that price.

Oooh, I forgot I got another couple of ears of corn today (can't beat 2 for a dollar. Cheaper to buy more, but I won't go through it.) From the crazy farmers. Seriously, this guy looks like a freaking viking, dressed in camo gear (once he was actually wearing waders and a wifebeater, no kidding!) long, long blond hair, a weathered face and swear to god, has no filter. The cats apparently had been sleeping on the shirt I put on (didn't notice until halfway to the market...it was 8 am.) "So what kinda critter you been wrestling?" Uh, my cats slept on my clean laundry. He then proceeds to tell me how his dog caught a fish and buried it in his grandson's laundry basket of clean laundry and they didn't notice for 2 days. "How many kitties you got?" Uh, 3. "Which one did that?" I look at the fur: Diabetic, deaf, 17 year old cat. "That's not a cat, that's a goldurned miracle!" Lady walking by burst into laughter, apologizing to me for laughing at my cat, but I was laughing too.

His partner is an older and even rougher looking dude, unkempt beard and muddy colored overalls most weekends. Looks like the stereotypical miner who changes his long underwear twice a year when he bathes and only puts his teeth in for special occasions. Like his funeral.

They're such a interesting pair, and their produces is fantastic. They are the ones to go to for asparagus and corn, from what I've heard. There is always a line (and everyone gets the special bizarre conversation treatment.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This Parasol's not really being Parasol's is very disturbing. I mean, I'm a Domilise's girl, but still! Name-changing and location-changing, well, maybe, but someone else using the Parasol's name is Not Right.

My folks brought their truck over and we loaded it full of old fence lumber. I think everything that is left is smallish scraps that I can fit in my garbage bin. I did not really think I would ever actually get that wood out of my yard. Monday we take it out to the landfill and practice the caber toss, whee!

After loading all the wood we went out for dinner and I had a steak and OMG it was good! I haven't had a steak in I don't know how long. So delicious.

I noticed that Whole Foods had vegan sugar. Do I want to know why regular sugar wouldn't be vegan?

Just googled for you megan, cause I was curious when you said that, since I couldn't figure it out:

Over half of the cane refineries in the United States use bone char (charcoal made from animal bones) as their activated carbon source. The bone char used in this filtering process is so far removed from its animal source that cane sugar processed in this method is deemed kosher pareve, which, according to Jewish dietary laws, means that it contains no meat or milk in any form as an ingredient. A number of vegans disagree with this perspective.

I want this spice thingie so much ... but not for $26.99. Damn it.

If I got that I would feel compelled to match the spices to the colors of the containers, and that way lies madness.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I like the sound of veggie guy as an amusing character. Thankfully my cat is currently sleeping in the dirty laundry. But there is also a basket of clean that's occasionally being refurred by her too.

I tried to recycle ALL the things but it was hot and my thighs starting chafing from sweat so the last batch goes out tomorrow. Instead cool shower and that slidey goo. Better slothful than heat blistered.

It was a shirt I'd tossed on the chair to put on in the morning. Normally, everything is hanging or in drawers. Devi especially loves my dirty laundry. I toss it on the closet floor, and invariably if I leave the door open, that's where I find her.

Loki has a shoe fetish, Devi has a dirty laundry one, Mister Kitty likes the clean stuff.
