honny, how cute and this is not to put your effert's down, but I buy packaged kale mixed with other garden greens (delicious) for .99 and am hooked. ::
but don't have the fun of growing...if spring ever gets here, I'll plant some herbs on the patio.

It's Mardi Gras. Shrove Tuesday. Meaningful for some people. Not a big deal for others. These disparate views prompted me to think about other disparate views. According to a Congressional voting majority, same-stage babes and neonates will be neglected or treated depending upon other people's views, and some young persons will never have an opportunity to develop a similar or opposing point of view. Is the future of the globalized world going to be maintained, bettered, or worsened by the reduced opportunities for personal development? [That is today's wee wonderment.]
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. (Mark 10: 13-16)
10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 18:10)
I took a really nice Steak dinner for tonight, because as you said, Shrove Tuesday. Tomorrow is "fasting" which takes on a very odd meaning in my religion. I get to eat one full meal and two smaller meals that do not together equal the size of the one full meal....Seriously, this is right out of our rule book.
I sometimes wonder when I hear the numbers that are lost if we might have already made a choice that eliminated the person who would cure a terrible disease, or bring world peace. It saddens me. God Bless, and have a great day.

Hi Irene. I cook at home minimally. My meals come from shops, and I spread those over a few days. Fresh produce goes bad before I use it all. That's why growing my own is so appealing.

Even though it's Fat Tuesday, I needed to prepare dinner with what I had on hand. I made a lovely fried rice dish with asparagus, corn, green onions, fresh tomato, scrambled egg, and cashews. Paired it with a napa cabbage cole slaw. Decided the meal was too healthy for Fat Tuesday, so I cut a frozen pie crust into pieces, sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar, and baked until crunchy. Served with a fruit salad Hubby brought home from a pot luck breakfast.
I'm thinking that a snack before bedtime is in order, too.

I had big plans! It was gonna be a grand day! Then, I did work and the extra work. Now the plan is to do three house tasks and watch Rumpole. (Anyone remember this old barrister with the harrumphing commentary and "she who must be obeyed"?

Today I had a spinal cord simulator placed for a trial. If it works out, I will be scheduled for a surgery to have one permanently implanted.
Sounds good? Please explain?

It's 2 electric probes that are long (think like a G guitar string) and lay on each side of your spine (in your spinal channel). That is connected to a "brain" that is programmed to send electric pulses that basically scramble the pain signal going to your brain, thus removing your back/leg pain (if it works). Think of it like those old blocks they put on your cable wire that would scramble HBO and other pay channels. Same theory. So far, it seems to be working for me, but the trial the brain unit is not yet implanted, so the wires are half in me, half out, and the brain is strapped to me with a velcro belt for a week. It is as uncomfortable as it sounds, but that is still much better then my chronic back pain from spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. I was also offered a spinal fusion, but talking to folks, most of those the pain comes back after about 5 years, so I thought this was the better option.

You do know that you will get a phone call from a desperate scheduler tomorrow morning offering a hefty bonus on an oil change shop?
I went and got an oil change for my car. First time in years I had to pay for it.
Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
