Redefining the Norm

I have been spreading Hyno-leftovers to various activities and events around the tri-county area, whether it be ultimate frisbee, weddings, movie-watching par-tays, or personal excitement. Having had one of the airpots tip over in the back of the car, I realized that they do not seal tight...so don't mind the Antarctica shaped stain on the back seat. My new solution to this tipping problem is seen below:


Our patriotic Obama-RamaRashHashanaRamadanaDing-Dong blend (aka America's Wake-up Call)will now be kept safe from spillage AND terrorists, as my AK is located just below that passenger seat. ("$20 dollars ain't sh*t to you but that's how much they are!"....who said that? Clue: he/she likes fish and mango pickle... Ten (10) blog points for the right answer. Upon reaching one hundred (100) blog points you will be eligible for an interview and a full-page posting on this maniacal weblog.)

In vegetable news: When you hear the word "carrot," does your mind automatically think of a long, pointy, orange vegetable? Tomatoes are bright red, right? Bell peppers are green, red, or even yellow or orange. This "norm" has been hammered into our psyche so hard, and it is an utter misnomer of the colored sort.

Thanks to Sheena I have been munching some super-super yummy heirloom vegetables...the way they used to be, and, in my opinion, should be. Here's why: the tomato you see below was delicately sliced open to reveal the most meaty 'mater I ever did see. While this picture makes it seem like any old red 'mater...it is actually quite purple with deep reed and even dark green veins in it. Wut 'n tarnation's goin' on! Our typical tomato contains much more water to make your sammy or burrito a sog-monster within seconds! This heirloom variety was quite meaty with only a little room for soak-material. It was the best 'mater I've ever had, placed on top of our lovely Wolpertinger Farms breadshare sesame ciabatta. Can you say YumPopmmmmmahhhh!! My point here is that life is so various and diverse that a sort of food revival and norm-shattering exposure to the spices of life is making a slow start, at least in this area of our great nation...but a start nonetheless. We are all voting with our dollars and "choices," so choose wisely.

There was murder at the greenhouse the other day. See below:

While the victim's family could not be reached at the time of this photo, it is expected that anyone who discovers her whereabouts will meet the same fate. Webs work!
