Coffee and tea made. The orange pepper sliced, bagged, and put up... that area cleaned after. A few other things, plus a light meal. Dishes got their first hit. I should give the clothes one more tumble. And the whiskers have been trimmed. Then a long break. I thought I might be finished. Cat litter. A very small task, I must be getting that without remembering?
Then upstairs. I took the small breaker bar, just in case. I was wondering if the task was less difficult than remembered. Nope. It was an absolute pita. I struggled this way, then that. Ah, the warm dry climate has shrunk the fabric? If the task was qite difficult out of the bag. I spent an half hour wrestling, finally, this time, winning!
Then on to the box transfer. A snap after the last task! As well, I wrangled four boxes down. Too amped to sleep now. So a post and some gaming to ease me down. What I will be doing is boring, should help settle me down. I didn't think I would make it. Being awake or the work. I'll try to stay up to 18:00 or more. Trying to reclaim the day.
Aspirin, tea, gaming, then a long deep dark sleep. I may dice the cucumber, as a last task? Maybe. Youtube has shut down video sharing, for me. So that is done. Good night, sooner or later.
Got me thinking some cool fresh diced cucumber would go down pretty good right about now.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Funny how we can forget? Then again, for a long time, store bought cucumbers were atrocious! Always bitter, old, almost wooden. This one was all but homegrown. It even smelled wonderful. I didn't taste the peel... wondering, now, if I wasted! As to surface contaminants? Even "organic" has that. Plants produce those naturally. Just wash before you slice. Ignore the lies.
ReplyDeleteOR...
Me too! Go get some.
With cucumbers I keep the peel. It's so thin as to not make any sort of difference taste-wise. At least not to me. Compare the cucumber's skin with a grapefruit I had a few days ago. Delicious but possessing a rind so thick I think it would've stopped a bullet.
ReplyDeleteFor me, home gardened, and I do likwise. But with store bought I never did. Where I am from, they were almost always terribly bitter, as with seeds. Maybe they have different breeds, or don't pull them "green" and try to ripen them in transit? Or Utah versus Iowa? Or improved processes?
ReplyDeleteI tried, because I really love those items, and lost contact with gardeners.
Oh, the tomato was rather good, and the pepper. I'm in a small food heaven.
