Question of the Day
From my sister:
Can you still call them “Pigs in Blankets” if you are using kosher hot dogs?

“Freshly Ground Black People”: World’s Worst Typo Leaves Publisher Reeling
An Australian publisher is reprinting 7,000 cookbooks over a recipe for pasta with “salt and freshly ground black people.”
Penguin Group Australia’s head of publishing, Bob Sessions, acknowledged the proofreader for the Pasta Bible should have picked up the error, but called it nothing more than a “silly mistake.”
The “Pasta Bible” recipe for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto was supposed to call for black pepper.

The carnivores in your garden
Garden vegetables such as tomatoes and potatoes have been found to be deadly killers on a par with Venus fly traps, according to research.

Weight today
189.2 lbs. Exactly the same as on last Wednesday morning. Same scale, same time of day.
I really did eat quite a bit of turkey! It was good :-)> Some exercise, but not a really active weekend.
Holiday weekend so far
Great four day weekend!
I had planned to take Friday and Monday off to accomodate colgaffneyis show in Aberdeen, South Dakota. That was cancelled, to my profound relief. However, I took the vacation days anyway. It was great.
I got two extra days to sleep in. I had a lot of time for woodworking and brewing (see previous posts). There was good drinking and eating: Belgian beer Friday evening, the St. Paul farmers’ market Saturday, and an Indian lunch today. We did see some of our colgaffneyis friends at Merlin’s Rest, the group’s monthly “Night at the Pub” later Friday night. On Sunday mia_mcdavid and I had a good time at church and did useful work there, followed by a pleasant outing with our son Tom. Irish class Monday night was interesting and inspiring.
Best of all, this was a lot of time spent with just mia_mcdavid.
