Food for thought:
Looking back, why students were made to study Romeo and Juliet for our English Literature was wrong on so many levels. It now sounds so kindergarten. On Shakespeare, I’ve always appreciated Merchant of Venice much, much more.
Admit it if you are one of Romeo and Juliet fans. (I wasn’t one of them.)
Now go read something else and have yourselves a wonderful week.
There is a potato monster lurking. And that potato monster is me. I love my taters like I love chocolates.
And chicken.
And ice-cream.
And rice.
And noodles.
Amongst everything else. Nett nett, food is not the same when there is no taters. I blame my mom for that because I don’t remember growing up with mom’s cooking without taters. Ever.
Funnily enough, I’m not big on french fries. I’d eat it, but it’s not my favourite and if I do eat it, I prefer to go for the small, crunchy ones rather than the long, floppy ones.
You know what else is good with taters? Brie and crumbly goat cheese. And not just taters but stacked scalloped ones. In a muffin tin. Drenched Drizzled in with butter. Sprinkled with deli meat, pepper, chives and a little thyme.
Once all that is assembled together, pop them in the oven.
Wait for them to brown and get ready to eat. For breakfast, lunch, dinner and or snacks.You won’t regret this I promise.
It’s right smack in the middle of spring here. Flowers are blooming, the leaves are sprouting and everywhere is going all green again.
Yet we only have had only a few days of sunshine so far and only for a few hours during the day.
Somehow it feels that autumn is not yet gone because it’s been rainy, cloudy and windy. Yet on the other end of the spectrum, it feels like summer is already here as the daylight hours stretches out till after 10 pm.
I’m now all confused again. Bit too early for such long-ish daylight hours, no? Would daylight in the summer then goes till after midnight?
Not only does daylight stretches out till after 10 pm, we are also seeing the emergence of spiders, spiderwebs and other insects out and about. Which means mossies, maggots, flies and what-nots would soon be crawling and/or flying about to irritate the crap out of me.
That’s the one thing I’m not liking about summer and I certainly am not looking forward to another round of maggot infestation like we had last year. Just thinking about it gives me the shudder!Eeeeeeeewwwww…..
That said, we hope to be better prepared this year. Come flies, mossies and/or maggots, we hope these flesh eating plants we now have in our house would take care of those flying beasts. Muahahahahahhaaaaaaaa!
Aren’t they the most cool looking plants ever! I have always been fascinated by them and I can’t wait for those pesky mossies and flies to get eaten alive by these pitcher plant.
Just for the fun of it, I told the kids that these plants like little people like them and that the plants would bite their fingers off if they don’t listen. Or that if they so much so dared to touch the plants, their fingers would be eaten up.
They believed me. For like 5 seconds.
