Did any of you ever think Arethra Franklin sang “unnatural” instead of “a natural” in the song “A Natural Woman?” Didn’t it change the meaning of the song just a bit? Indeed.

Is anything more soothing as a bunny eating a flower?
There’s one below.
Bunny! Because it’s in all our genes to say, “Bunny!” whenever we see one.

They ran out of banana splits
It’s way too hot to use the oven or stove today. So, as part of my errands I went to the supermarket for ingredients to make banana splits. My family has been looking forward to having them today. Banana splits are heaven.
Then avoidable tragedy struck. I forgot to get hot fudge sauce at the store. I know! The horror! You can’t have a banana split without hot fudge sauce.
I don’t have all the ingredients to make hot fudge sauce. I don’t want to go out to a peoply supermarket a second time. Number One Wife is busy. Number Two Son is studying. He says he’ll bring home some hot fudge when he finishes.
Meanwhile, minute after minute goes by and no banana split. People are getting as tense as when they’re about to stick a knife into one of those cardboard cyclinders of premade cookie dough.
Update: no hot fudge sauce. People get surlier and surlier. The spirit of Marie Antoinette visits me. She’s beside herself. She says, “The continued absence of banana splits prompted the French Revolution.”
And still no hot fudge sauce for the banana splits. I shall be barricading myself in my office soon. Wish me luck.

I’m pretty darn sure that if I didn’t have some hobby I’d be out in the streets fomenting revolution. Past periods of prolonged idleness for me goes a long ways towards explaining the crises of 2007, 2017, and 2019. We surely don’t want a recurrence of those troubled times. I know I don’t.
So, I’ve taken up cooking in a big way. This, of course, means purchasing wagon trains full of kitchen gizmos. Untold numbers of thingamabobs necessitate organzing on the level of a NASA space launch.
There, this is how I kept my self busy. This is how I kept our glorious republic strong and at peace.
And now, some of my kitchen gadgets and foodstuffs and how they’re organized.
What world peace looks like

In the interests of full disclosure, I was rather good in mathematics in general and in geometry in particular. However, after my 17,223rd geometry proof my naturally effervescent outlook on life dimished somewhat.

Feeding the world
Chosing the right, fresh ingredients and cooking to trusted recipes makes for a truly tasty burrito. These burritos so uplift your soul that you can face with a song in your heart at any horror that life might throw at you.
Then there are days when you open your fridge and discover 1,722,363 containers of leftovers. Voices from everyone of these leftovers squeak so piteously, “Please, please, I’m about to go bad. When I was a tiny seed, I fully expected to grow up to be an ingredient that would make a diner say, ‘Life is good. Life is so good.’ Now I’m just one day away from the trash bin. There’s lutefisk in that bin. Oh, the shame, the shame.”
Naturally, the mere fact that 1,722,363 containers squeaked at you, will startle you. However, the ernestness of their sorrow must melt your heart, even if you’re a brutal dictator.
So what do you do? Enter the mighty flour burrito. Put any number of forgotten fridge ingredients, perhaps ten, on the tortilla, fold in the sides, roll it up, and Bob’s your uncle, you made a large leftovers burrito. You may now give way to waves of virtue splashing over your soul as you’ve cleaned out your fridge to find Amelia Earhardt shivering. You’ve also put off a trip to the supermarket, thus slashing your food bill. And most of the fresh food that you delayed purchasing can now go to someone else who lives near you or even in far off Madagascar.
By constructing such a meal for World Leftovers Burrito Day, you will be feeding the world. You magnificent sunbeam, you.
