work: the final destination

hilarious and violent workplace safety video:

autumn rain/zuchini rain

We've been getting rained on by the remains of tropical storm Lee for over a week now. We are not getting the heavy rain or horrible flooding that parts of the east coast states (such as Pennsylvania) are getting, but man it is depressing to have the clouds and chill and rain every day. It is so humid and chilly it just creeps into your bones and joints and makes your body ache! The sun came out for about twenty minutes yesterday and I ran through the house cracking open windows, pulling up the miniblinds, and hopping around with excitement! I opened our patio doors for the cats to sniff the air through the screens, but had to close them again pretty quickly as another band of rain rolled in...

It is also zuchini season in Michigan. That means everyone who grows it in their gardens is looking for victims to dump it on - up to and including sneaking it onto front porches when people are not home!

Now then, I love most vegetables. I even like things many people do not like such as spinach, lima beans, kale, and rutabagas (which are delicious in pasties). But I cannot stand zuchini!

We have been lucky this year. We have been able to escape with only one zuchini dropped off at our house. It was put on top of my husband's truck when we were not home. LOL.

We have been carving off small bits and "hiding" it by putting the bits into spicey Thai stir fry, Hungarian goulash, and other foods which disguise it. I have been tolerating it when well hidden, and feel I deserve brownie points from my doctor for eating this healthy but digusting vegetable.
