What I Did Today

My time on Mars was necessarily brief

1) Woke up. The streak continues. Go me!

2) Showered, Cleanliness is next to godliness.

3) Renewed CD.

4) Briefly contemplated the infinite.

5) Went to monthly massage therapy. She spent much more time on my head and neck than usual because I walked into a window at last week’s craft class.

5b) If you’re wondering does walking into a window hurt, the answer is yes.

6) Ate lunch.

7) Went to the library for this week’s crafts session. Made progress on my latch-hook project.

8) Did not walk into a window at any time.

9) Help with friend’s CD question.

10) Used extra-springy trampoline to bounce my way to Mars.

11) Had to return to Earth right away as I can only hold my breath so long.

12) Fortunately, NASA had left a trampoline on Mars during its last mission there.

13) Bounced my way back to Earth. Boy, did I take a big gulp of air!

14) Ordered some place markers for the Great Latch Hook Project.

15) Made quesadillas for the natives.

Behave yourselves.

Golden Berry Pico De Gallo

Fusion Appetizer

­

GOLDEN BERRY PICO DE GALLO

­
INGREDIENTS
­
1 jalapeno chile or serrano chile
6 ounces cherry tomatoes
6 ounces golden berries
½ red onion
½ cup fresh cilantro
1½ tablespoons lime juice
¼ ounce pepper
½ ounce salt
­
Serves 4. Takes 30 minutes.
­
PREPARATION
­
Remove seeds from chile if you desire a milder salsa. Dice cherry tomatoes, cilantro, golden berries, jalapeno, and red onion. Add all ingredients to mixing bowl. Stir with fork until well blended. It should last for about 5 days if stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Golden berry pico de gallo goes well with tortillas chips or as a side to any Mexican dish.
­
TIDBITS
­
1) This recipe asks you to use a half a red onion.
­
2) Sure, you could buy an entire red onion and use half of it. But can you do with the unused half?
­
3) You need an entire red onion to participate in red-onion bowling leagues. So that’s out.
­
4) People really don’t appreciate red-onion halves as a stocking stuffer.
­
5) I suppose if you have twelve red-onion halves and your opponent has twelve white-onion halves, you could play onion checkers. But as of press time, America displays a rather striking lack of interest in such a pastime.
­
6) And you know in your heart of hearts, some neighbor, perhaps just a block away, needs a red-onion half. Perhaps she needs it to make her own Golden Berry Pico de Gallo. Whatever, she needs it and would dearly love to obtain your red onion half.
­
7) Wahoo! The answer’s obvious. Organize a market for such a thing. Set it up for Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 am. Bring your half vegetables and swap for the half vegetables you do need. You save money. You cut on waste. And don’t have to waste time and gas needed to go to the store for just a half a head of lettuce. You’ll make America safer from a possible oil embargo.
­
8) And you’ll meet new people. Perhaps a romance will bloom. How cool is that?

Angry Man Rants About Logging On

The adventure that inspired today’s Angry Man rant involved me having to type in an access code that would appear on my phone. Except it never did. I had to talk to customer service for an hour.

Short Ouch – Ow

Sorry, I don’t feel up to writing a new post.

I did some driving and some errands.

I then went to libary’s arts-and-crats session.

I doing latch hooking. It’s supposed to help my eyes work together. Also, it should help my manual dexterity.

I pushed my self to meet a goal and started to make mistakes.

Then I tried to leave through a door that turned out to be a floor-to-ceiling window.

Oh, I guess that was another mistake.

I hurt quite a bit then. I still hurt, but less than before.

Can You Tell the Difference?

Tesla(tm) truck or a door stop?

A door stop doesn’t move in the cold and would prevent a door from opening.

A Tesla(tm) truck doesn’t work in the cold and would keep a door from opening.

They look quite similar. Can you tell them apart?
