Oh, wait, that's the "King" but the kale is coming along, too (the King makes for a better photo). All the seeds I planted have sprouted with the exception of those dadgum papayas, so the garden is off to a good start.
My attention was captured recently by this photo:
Depending on who reads this blog, I might be busted for creeping on FaceBook but it was out of good-natured curiosity and it yielded this beauty. I believe it is a Korean version of a Japanese kaiseki meal, a formal multi-course dinner that was priced out of my range when I visited Japan in 2005. I have yet to visit Korea but when I get there, I want to eat everything on that table.
A guest from my home country of Missouri visited for a fun long weekend. We shopped at Ross where I, perhaps in error, passed on this t-shirt:
It's mesmerizing, and not in a good way, but I think that can make for an entertaining t-shirt experience, like the woman I saw in the Winn Dixie parking lot wearing a shirt that read "Caliente!" I assure you, it could only be taken in the most literal sense of the word.
My guest enjoyed the benefits of the trolling motor I have on my kayak...
...a relaxing tour of the Haulover Canal area in the Indian River Lagoon with added benefit of...
...fresh spotted sea trout for dinner! Yes, I caught it and cleaned it myself. What can I say besides "Multi-Faceted".
My guest is a pescatarian which is a vegetarian who abstains from eating meat with the exception of fish as long as it's not endangered and is caught "properly", ie hook and line for tuna as opposed to netting and decimating the entire school. All this to say, we lunched in the cafeteria at the local Hindu temple and it was wonderful.
It is a bare bones cafeteria experience...if you happen to be eating in a cafeteria in India. Delicious with a side of "very interesting".
My guest also had time to coin the term "capreggings" for the pants I was wearing:
I hope it catches on.
Alas, all good things must come to an end and, well, she went home.
So I got back to my projects. I'm enjoying hand knotting fossil necklaces with silk or cotton bead cord. Very satisfying and I love the finished product.
Just in case you were wondering, it's a fossilized shark tooth strung with wood, black amber, and betel nut beads.
I also purchased some affordable art.
No, it wasn't the liquor talking; I saw this posted on FaceBook and when I went to a bar and saw it in person, for $30, I shouted, "Sold!!!" Thank you, Craig Beverly, for the "FUN".
I'll end with this non sequitur (and I may be using that incorrectly but I don't care coz it sounds smart): Mike is disappointed every time he glimpses this sign...
No buffalo sauce...no blue cheese...no celery...
