If Mr. Rogers owned a haberdashery

my hubby would probably have shopped there. Another week, another series of quirky outfits involving one comfy gray cardigan.   

 The School Boy

Graphing actuary

 

Country driving

As always, thanks for stopping by, virtual neighbor.

Admire the beauty (again)!

Do you remember learning the Pythagorean theorem ( a² + b² = c² ) when you were in school? Well, here's a visual way of showing it.  Eureka.  Isn't it beautiful?

Annairizi of Arabia (circa A.D. 900)

Is anyone out there a quilter?  I bet this would make a really lovely (albeit nerdy) quilt.

A Filo feast

Double, double toil and trouble

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

. 

What's inside the pot?  Eye of newt?  Wing of bat?  Finger of a naughty child?  Nope, just some cabbage, pork, green beans, onions, eggplant, tomatoes, and a special blend of exotic spices.  It's sinigang, one of my favorite Filipino dishes.    

It's usually eaten with rice, but I just slurp it up sans starch. 

Sour. Salty. Tasty.

Picketing Shoes

When I woke up from my Sunday nap, guess what I saw happening on my deck?
All my thrifted shoes were outside protesting. 

How could this be?  Why were they protesting?  I provide them with a roof over their heads, a warm place to sleep, new friends to meet, and a chance to go out.

Ok, ok.  They did have a fair point.  I could do a better job with their upkeep and I probably should make sure to wear each pair.  After an hour of intense negotiations, we finally reached an agreement.  Picket line dispersed.

Food Mimicry

Today we visited a Krispy Kreme store.  Look what we found? 

Isn't it cute?  Look at how this little guy pretended to be a football to escape being eaten.  Silly doughnut.
