Food for the times

Tonight I noticed a pattern in my recent eating.

Dinner Today (Monday):  Spaghetti again with the leftover sauce from Saturday
Snack Yesterday (Sunday):  A couple bites of spicy Italian salami

Dinner Saturday:  Spaghetti with a red sauce including pork sausage
Dinner Friday:  Pork and vegetable pot stickers.

Let’s make this official: I am going to try to eat some pork product (pork, bacon, ham, sausage) every day until this media circus about swine H1N1 flu fades away.

Got stuff done

I have done the first four of the items on Tuesday’s list of things to do after last weekend with colgaffneyis. Derusting the tools was not hard. Steel wool and oil sufficed for everything except the drawknife. A wire brush in an electric drill took care of that. Finishing the froe club was easy when I could hold it in the leg vise on my work bench and use one of the big drawknives I have here.

I still have to finish the Gaelic notes. Since Sunday I have found out something more about colgaffneyis war cry, “faugh a ballagh“, which to include. It solves a small mystery.
