For the rain it raineth every day

That one's from Twelfth Night, and instantly  the tune comes to mind. Back a while we kids all seemed to learn songs from Shakespeare. 

Where the bee sucks, Full fathom five, Lover and his Lass, When Daisies Pied, and more. They're very singable for a child,  with a range that's not too hard, and no fancy bits.

 I start singing as soon as I remember them, the words inscribed on the brain with the song. I remember being surprised to find they were in Shakespeare, when I got older and we studied the baaard.

Anyway this inspired the thought 

Meanwhile back in the sick room, food still has to happen. 

Misfits arrived 




The beauty of these fruits and vegetables is enough to lift your heart no matter if you're coughing.

The tiny sweet peppers are wonderful roasted with olive oil and kosher salt, along with potatoes.  More gala apples, envy not around just now.  Curly kale for a great soup recipe from Alberto, which will include diced tomatoes, milk, cheese, herbs and spices. Blueberries for blueberry scones from Baking on a Budget. Greenhouse grown tiny strawberries to eat raw.

Cranberries, peas and carrots for Thanksgiving. Chickpeas with next week's ordered spinach for a simplified c and s dish, classic Spanish from Alberto. 

No saffron in this one, Mitchell, but I have hopes anyway. Monday I'm picking up that Spanish cookbook from the library to see the more complicated version SG made.

Bagels for a big change, I never eat them since car owning days when they were available with cream cheese in the auto waiting room. Also Misfits is very light on baked choices just now, can't get my bread, so why not.

Last night I dreamed I was at the last day of my life (legal medical option to terminate tl;dr, only in the dream). I stated I was leaving next day, friends came to help empty the place. 

These are friends who only exist in dreams, not in rl, but they show up regularly. I think they are my ai friends. 

Anyway after we'd all done some organizing and I was finding stuff I'd forgotten about, I decided I was too busy to die, and I'd revisit this some other time. 

Then I woke up wondering what I'd eaten, were the peppers psychedelic? 

Happy day everyone, last or otherwise.
