This cracked me up today at the store, so I sent this text to DH.

Exactly what animal do they think the potato comes from?

You'd be surprised what goes into some processed foods. Some fries and chips are sprayed with animal fat or have gelatin in them.

My DD landlord is sticking to his convictions of no Pups in her building. He allows them in all other buildings he owns, just not hers. Even his own kids have Pups in their dwellings.

Please send warts and scabs to him until he relents.

I say trap him on IASW until he changes his mind

The town that chocolate built

@figmentfan423 , how was your Farmer's Market yesterday?

The town that chocolate built

And then the chocolate company moved a bunch of their jobs outside the country after all that.

Thanks for asking. Clean bill of health. Hurray!

The prep was challenging, with the 24 hour fast and all, but the procedure was nothing. Everyone needs to do it once they turn 50.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take it that you got to go to your favorite pizza place afterwards?

Not too bad for this early in the season. The radishes and lettuce were quite nice and the young kale and spinach are nice sized, the herbs from the hot house were huge We're still waiting on strawberries they are late due to all the rain this spring.

You can't tour the factory any more and they closed the airport

That sounds good.

So I'm intrigued about "young" kale. (Not that I eat kale), but I thought kale was kale. Is there an AARP version as well?

Young kale is about the size of spinach and makes great salads

Oh, o.k. So what do you do with older kale then? Is that not good in salads, too?

I went to one game of my niece's softball tournament today. Her team is really good and might end up winning. But I can only handle 1 of the games. The game was going along fine and then there was an accident on 1st base. A girl from the opposing team rant into a girl at first base, she was out but as she hit the girls hit hard and the girl that had batted ended up flipping twice in the air and landing hard on the ground! They called an ambulance for her which took forever to come (it was in a rural town so a volunteer ambulance/fire dept.), and they figure the girl probably broke her collarbone. I felt really bad for the girl, but thankful it wasn't m niece. I am also surprised that I actually saw it, I tend to zone out at baseball/softball games. But I was actually watching my niece pitch and it happened off of one of those pitches.

The worst one I ever witnessed was at my daughters soft ball game, but, it wasn't anyone in the game. Right next to the field was a playground of sorts and a young girl was at the top of a very crowded slide. The kid behind her, hopefully accidentally, bumped her and she fell off the slide to the ground. She got up and held her arm out in pain and ran toward her parents. She was holding her arm straight out and it was in a 90 degree angle about 3 or 4 inches in front of her elbow. It hung straight down completely flaccid. I cringe just thinking about it. We lived in a relatively remote town at the time so they loaded her into the car and took her to the hospital an easy 8 miles away. She did get her arm fixed, but, there must have been a lot of hardware inside there to hold it together. I felt so sorry for her.

Well, I made it through the recital. DD did great, and I will miss her as Alice. The competition team for the studio was amazing. They have one boy who trains at the studio, but goes at least once a month to Miami or LA for master classes, and it shows. Now, she gets a few weeks off, and then summer dance starts to prep for next dance year.

I have cherry Sprite. That is all.

Including the healthy foods. I just bought my first organic Strawberries today and paying double the price hit me hard. But every food has weed killer or pesticides in them.

Probably been answered, but Hershey Park.

It just amused me that they made of point of labeling it "vegan" and calling them "veggie fries", like standard fries aren't vegan.

Was there another vegetable other then potato in the ingredients? Here they have veggie fries made from broccoli and potato, veggie tots made from cauliflower and potato.
