You see, three years ago, Pa ate nothing but kale. He was convinced he needed to go on a diet. (even though he has a six pack, rock hard gut) In any case, he loaded up our downstairs freezer full of it. Made sense, we didn’t really put anything in there anyway. Well, now, he hasn’t eaten it in about a year and now more important thing is cropping up: bird flu. Since who knows what is gonna happen with that, we’re gonna stock up the freezer with emergency food.
So, today, Luke and I got some buckets and a wheelborrow and cleaned out the freezer. I thought of giving to a soup kitchen or selling out front but I mean come on, who on earth is gonna want to eat it? So, we took it to the dumster. So, there is over 300 pounds (absolutely seriously) of Kale in our dumpster if you are hungry. They are individually wrapped in ziploc bags so don’t be grossed out by the thoguht of it in a trash can.

As you might be able to see by the picture, I found out that if I rub the wood with pieces of very smooth rock, I can get it much smoother and glassy. (It is actually kinda hard to take a picture of it but when I touch the wood, I can see the reflection of my finger on it). Today, I saw some chalk marks I had left on the shiny wood and, with a damp rag, wiped the chalk off. Unfortunately, the wet rag also took away the shiny luster left on by the stones. fortunately, I could rub it back up to sparkley goodness but I’m not really sure how to waterproof it (besides slapping some paint on but I think it’d be cooler if there’s a more traditional way). So, I wrote my teacher today (who is in Japan at some internation competition I think) and asked him to ask somebody there what to do.
Okay, for some reason, I can’t upload a picture but I’ll do that later.

Well, it’s sure good that I had my great sandwich when I did because today my throat is sore, nose is stuffy and I can barely smell my toast burning. When I was making it, I was thinking that and I thought, ” boy, wouldn’t this be great timing to get a cold!”

Today
, we did a bit of garden work today. I pruned the tree by the pond, a bit of another and then planted some lettuce. Afterwards, I was in the mood for a sandwich. A BLP to be specific (Baco-bit [fakin' bacin] Lettuce, Pepper sandwich with mustard, ketchup and cheese). As I was going into the kitchen to make it, I thought some pretzels would go great with it. At that moment, Pa pointed to the bacon fat in the skillet (from when we cooked bacon last week [bacon fat lasts a long time]) and asked me what I wanted to do with it. I just thought then, chips would be good with a sandwich! So with the hardly used mandoline, I cut up a small potato and fried away! They turned out mighty nice and crispy!
After I got those done, I thought that this meal is too good not to have a nice refreshing sparkling lemonade with it. So I got a sparkling mineral water from downstairs, a few lemons, and with salt, sugar and ice, I had a nice refreshing beverage. . . and I hadn’t even made the sandwich yet! After I made the sandwich, I decided that this meal is too good to spare any cents on it so I got my 5 month old maple prolliene (I’m not sure how it’s spelled but it’s a nutty creamy cookie) that I’ve been saving for a special meal since Kwizzmas (Kwanza, Christmas. Must stay politically korrect). When I got it all together and laid a nice pickle on the side with it, I just thought, “self, that is a work of art! Quick! I must get the camera before the froth from the sparkling lemonade dissipates.”
It was, ah! The. . . best! It was about an hour ago since I’ve eaten it, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet in order to keep the flavor in my mouth for as long as possible, and my mouth is watering just from looking at that picture.
Ok, time to go brush up.
