Food Stamp Diet: Post #6
Ok -- we're up to day #5 (of 8, since I've added an extra day)
Breakfast: A three egg omelet with pepper jack and more leftover mashed potatoes -- I knew I'd need something hearty since I was planning to spend five hours helping construct a yurt! Tasty, filling, yay!
Lunch: This was provided to the yurt workers. We ate pasta with foraged fiddleheads, olives and sundried tomatoes. Also had a red ale and three chocolate chip cookies.
Snack: A banana with peanut butter.
Dinner: A cup of lentil stew with carrot and cabbage with the last of the cornmeal mush topped with a little cheddar.
I realized just a few minutes ago why I have such comfy associations with the word "mush." It's all because of a children's book called Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. The text of the book is in rhyme and is very catchy. And one of the rhymes mentions mush. Now you know!
Ah yes, Goodnight Moon... "A comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush, and a quiet old lady who is whispering 'hush.'"
Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight light and the red balloon.
Goodnight comb. Goodnight brush. Goodnight nobody. Goodnight mush.
And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush."
Graham loves Goodnight Moon.

Lord, I love that book as well (still make my mom read it to me out loud, yes, I am a wee bit stunted). I also have very good associations with some book which i think is called Fuzzy Bunny? It has things you can touch on the pages and I sure loved that. One of the pics was dad's stubble and you get to feel it - how cool!?
Your blog is on FIRE!
