Six Random things about me:






I used to think that chocolate milk came from brown cows. I thought spotted cows were the best because they gave both regular AND chocolate. My theories were dashed when I asked my mother my puzzle--what flavor of milk do black cows make?



Joanne Harris, who wrote Chocolat, has just released a sequel called The Girl With No Shadow. It is sharp and witty and magical. I wish I could write like Joanne Harris.




When my son was little, we could always get a belly laugh out of him whenever we said 'zucchini.' It was so funny, we did it all the time. He was bald and toothless, and boy did that make our baby Buddah laugh and laugh. But now he's a 'big boy' and no one is laughing. What am I going to do with all that CSA zucchini? When it is hot we all get a little surly around here. We're cranky. The zucchini sits innocently in the fridge. There is more coming tomorrow. We're leaving for San Francisco on Thursday. I refuse to turn the oven on. I still have pickled zucchini in the cellar from three summers ago. After it gets dark, I think it might be time for a neighborly zucchini surprise...




I am a night owl. I will always be a night owl. I am not productive until 2:00pm. If I go to bed at 8pm or 3am things are still the same. I am annoyed with people who think they are more virtuous because they are early risers. Lots of people think this, you know. Very irritating.




My hair, once fine and dark and straight, turned corkscrew curly in my twenties. Now it is corkscrew curly and grayish. Ugh.

'The Hunt of the Unicorn' Tapestries bring me to my knees. They are luminous and alive, and provide much solace in their beauty--something no photograph could ever capture. Nothing before or since has had that effect on me.


So, my next victims---

Tammy of Food on the Food


Kayte of Grandma's Kitchen Table


Judy of I Cook He Cleans


Susan of She's Becoming a DoughMessTic

Be darlings, won't you, and play along!

Great post. I think it was Garrison Keillor who said that July was the only time country folk lock their cars (to avoid "gifts" of extra summer squash)...
