Word fo the Day

Tempo

I love that the root of a word meaning "pace" is "time".  Also, I want to see what timestamp LJ puts on this.

Diggy trucks

Diggy trucks don't mind being wet and muddy.  The big yellow truck likes to nap in the mud puddle under the trees.  It made big piles of dirt by the ramp so that the rain wouldn't wash away the soil.

Radiccio is food

So, the red tinged head of lettuce turned out to be radiccio.  Boy, was that a nasty tasting salad!

The thing waited patiently in a damp pillowcase in the fridge for weeks before I got up the courage to cook it, rather than politely rotting.  I broiled it according to the instructions in the _Winter Harvest Cookbook_ and it is now food.  I even begin to understand how this "kale chips" thing could be anything other than yucky.
