Yesterday's dinner (and today's leftovers) led to an interesting comment by Miss Dog Lover ~ "These seaweed walnuts taste funny." It took the combined brains of Miss Language and myself a couple solid moments of decoding to arrive at water chestnuts, and agree, that yes, they are funny tasting things.
And how could I have failed to report on the big excitement in Devastatingly Handsome's life? Saturday he was Invited to Participate in a Composting Workshop and brought home his very own Earth Machine (yes, it kind of looks like R2-D2 gone over to the dark side). (How sad is your life when such an invitation is the social event of the month? How can it be that two upstanding Bananas such as ourselves did not merit an invitation to the Bush-Hager Nuptials?
So tonight he was instructing the Bananalets in the fine art of what does and does not go into the Earth Machine. Meat and meat products do not. Miss Dog Lover asked about rice and Devastatingly Handsome explained that it is from a plant. Miss Dog Lover did not think so. You do not even want to know where the discussion went from there. Trust me. Just know that the leftover rice is in there now, becoming rich, dark soil.
It looks like a Diaper Genie. I wonder if you can put dirty diapers in it?? :)
My 4-year old son asked me the other day if we could have "sabaka" for dinner. I kept asking him to say it again. Same every time..."sabaka". So I called the other grown ups to the room and we finally figured out that what he really wanted was something we had for dinner about a week earlier. Kielbasa...with macaroni and cheese. We're having it tonight!
That is priceless...though I'm really curious about where she thought rice came from. :-) I've not put too much thought into how it must be harvested...so I can see how some confusion might arise. *LOL*
By the way - we use the same salt you do.
We must have the best salt ever, too.
I wanted to add another defining word like "Learning" or "Loving" -- but they require the word "and" for the phrase to make any sense. *L* And of course, my working title would have to be "Easily Amused: a random look into my life" - it's bound to be short..and self published. *LOL*
What would your memoir say??
