Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas.

The heart has its reasons, which Reason does not know.

I am the Green Man

In the Dark Forest I live

Emerging in Spring

 

 

 

You alone can make my song take flight.

It’s over now, the music of the night.

(Phantom of the Opera)

 

 

 

A clockwork heart can’t replace the real thing.

My soul is a machine.

My passion sings through the memories of my broken heart.

 

 

 

Masquerade, begin!

Frolic! Indulge! All too soon

Glitter turns to rust…

 

 

 

The dance is over

The cold wind clears the remains

From the barren floor

 

Not interesting? I disagree!

  

 

Apparently there is a community on Reddit to celebrate pictures of stuff that is ‘not interesting’. I looked at the site and basically agree that the majority of the pics are indeed not interesting. So my old friend Bored Panda showed me the best ones. Some didn’t need a lot of comment on.

 

 

Carved Cat out of Soap

There were several soap carvings, but I’m a cat person. So this one made my list.

 

 

Tomato Shoes

I LOVE weird vegetable pictures. I’ve actually seen this one before, but a walking tomato plant is indeed worthy of looking at.

 

 

Worldly Nuggets

Even a geographical moron such as myself can pick out the continents.

 

 

Organized Froot Loops

Someone had a LOT of time on their hands. Possibly a Covid lockdown activity? You would have to be REALLY bored. The banana is for scale. And maybe to slice in a bowl of these with milk.

 

 

Random Cut Pizza

Now, this one is just plain fun. I’ve seen this done with pies and sandwiches, but never pizzas.

 

 

Perfectly Dissected Gummy Worm

Worthy of the toughest biology class! Note how cleanly this worm is cut. I doubt that the teacher would approve, though.

 

So…got any neat pics that others have deemed no interesting? I will gladly look at them!

 

Hot? Cold? Both?

 

Some foods are very versatile in that they can be eaten hot or cold. Here are the ones I like:

 

Pizza – The first serving is obviously when it’s hot. Leftovers (it could happen!) can be eaten cold and I think it’s almost as enjoyable. Usually there are only a couple of slices left and not really worth the effort to heat up.

 

Fried chicken – Awesome either way. Leftover chicken is great cold, cut up for a sandwich or even added to ramen noodles. The same goes for leftover roast or ham.

 

Any kind of tea or coffee drink. Same with the booze you might put in that tea or coffee drink…

 

Meat loaf – Awesome of course with gravy, but the next day as a sandwich?? YES!!

 

Pancakes – hear me out. There have been times when I wanted a sandwich but was out of bread. Leftover pancakes work just fine.

 

Cooked cereal – haven’t done this in a long time, but my grandma would make cornmeal mush and any leftovers would be sliced up and fried with syrup on top. A couple of times I actually made some specifically to have it sliced and fried.

 

Impossible pie – I’m pretty sure I’ve shared the recipe for this before. It’s great hot from the oven, but leftovers are good cold with maybe a salad on the side.

 

If you know of any more foods that can be eaten either way, let me know.

 

 

Peeps and Blessings

 

I have the BEST peeps in the world! This latest round of ill health has really knocked me for a loop. When I finally broke down and admitted it and asked for prayers, the response was humbling. I love my peeps. I had so much support from all of you. And I know it was that along with the prayers from you all and the ones from church friends and others that got me through it all. God is good!

 

There were also a lot of blessings along with this. Yes, I was very ill. But I had the blessing of having Marv here the whole time. If he had still been working, things would have been much worse. I knew I was being taken care of. I had the “luxury” of being able to just forget about everything and stay in my recliner and watch Perry Mason reruns.

 

The biggest blessing, though, was the fact that I was NOT depressed or in despair. I have a tendency to go to the dark places when I’m sick. This time it was only physical. My mental outlook was just fine.

 

So mega thanks to everybody in my life. Friends are a true blessing. ♥
