Bean soup is in its last 20 minutes or so of simmering. I’m out of celery. I don’t recall running out of celery - I wonder if I accidentally threw it in the trash. So I just tossed some dried celery leaves into the soup for flavor.

Do you use newt eyeballs or some other kind? Also, how many bat wings? 😛

UGH! Every so often, non-Christmas errands collide with people doing their own Christmas errands. Put another way, why did someone think putting the cobbler’s shop within a half mile of Toys R Us, Target and Trader Joe’s was a good idea?

The only thing missing from this parking lot of delights was a post office.

Dindin has been ingested, and cheese thangs are made. OYKW just left with his own container of cheese thangs. I predict they will be gone inside of an hour and he will have a tummy ache. As I’ve said before, a five year old boy trapped inside of a man’s body. 😃

I usually use a double handful of newt eyeballs for texture. A few cobra eyeballs are good to add spice. I go easy on the bat wings. They’re more for thickenin’. 😛

Bein’ that she’s a witch and all, I imagine she’d do that from time to time. Especially when they get all old and wrinkled.

ETA: **gotti** that’s why I make my own cobblers. Oh wait, you mean _shoe_ cobbler. Shoe cobbler? Sounds like it’d be kinda tough! 😃

Bean soup was disappoint. ☹ Very bland - I wonder how much of that was due to a lack of celery?

Oh well… Time to crochet.

Evenin’!

I called in on the way back from irk at the 24 hours supermarket, and hit the used vegetable jackpot; I got a big bag o’ spinach, a swede (rutabaga to you), parsnips, carrots, potatoes, celeriac, chillis, and chicory, plus a bunch of flowers, and had change for £1! Most of it looks perfectly fresh as well!

Soup ‘n roast vegetable mekkin’ tomorrow, I reckon! Lucky I’m not irking til 5, though I did reluctantly accept a sattiday shift at the post office. I was planning on having it off, but it’s now looking like there’s only a few days left of the postie stuff (they can’t make up their minds, honestly), and January will be dead for the securitatin’. I should be a sensible person and get the irk while it’s there, even if I don’t wanna.

They’re a Indian starter and snack. Basically a (normally) gram flour and vegetable fried thingy, normally spicy. I keep meaning to try making them…
