My Flog for March 29

Yawn, yawn, double yawn. Just waiting for the Raisin Bread I baked to cool down so I can bag it and freeze most of it, then it's Sack Time for me. I've been on the go all day, it seems.

I decided to get my Stereo Cassette Player out of mothballs, and take it to Walmart with me this afternoon. I stuck in a Willie Nelson tape, but it sounded as if I were playing a 45 rpm at an LP speed. Wasn't sure if it was poor old Willie, or the pre-MP3 artifact. So I popped in Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints tape, and lo and behold, the beat was right on. And the first song was very suitable

as Paul sang "I can't run but I can walk much faster than this" into my ears. I thought to myself, 'Well, that's too bad, Paul, because I can't walk any faster than I'm going, sorry buddy.'

We did finally make it to Walmart though, and on the way home, pushing $100 worth of groceries in my buggy, as it was too heavy to haul it behind me, I had the answer to this one down pat -

and the answer was 'YES, damn it, I have, in fact I am seeing it RIGHT NOW, bloody big drops of it, and my feet are getting wet.'

However, I did get home eventually, after saving two worms from drowning. Have you ever tried to pick up wet worms from rain-covered pavement? It's extremely difficult. I had passed so many bloated drowned wormy carcasses on the path, when I came across some wriggly ones that looked like they may not make it across the watery way, I thought I would rescue them by tossing them back on the grass, where they may have a chance to eat and poop some more wonderful soil. After realizing how hard it was to pick them up, I quit after two. (Hmm...I hope I remembered to wash my hands before I started to make the bread .... )

So home it was then, to start a stew for dinner, and knead up some Raisin Bread for a Real Treat, then some Beer Bread for a side dish, as I was too tired to do veggies. And then, a bus trip to The Great Canadian Super Store for some Beef Kidneys. Yech. Steve came to my rescue and brought me home, as by the time I found everything I needed and stood in line behind a lady buying over $400 of groceries, it was dark.

And that is why my blog is late tonight.

• Breakfast - Toast and Coffee
• Lunch - Pea Soup
• Dinner - Beef Stew and Beer Bread

And last, but not least - A huge THANK YOU to Barb for sending me a copy of the March Downhome. 

It was so cool to see this in print!
