Amy’s Earth Day Lunch
Update: This update for Jim, the no good deed goes unpunished commenter. The students discussed healthy eating for lunch today, not conservation. The landfill packaging may or may not have presented the students an opportunity for discussing organic eating.
The secret is to turn the 2 pieces of bread into a rectangle. My first attempt I put one slice directly on top of the other and that did nothing. You want to overlap them ever so slightly before using the rolling pin. Work the seam really well so that you end up with a good bond between the two slices.
When putting the ingredients on, cheat it toward one of the narrow sides to leave some bare bread at the end for keeping the roll together (bread on bread after rolling). Roll it tight but not so tight as to tear the bread and at the end go back and forth over the final seam with slightly increasing pressure to try to keep the bread together.
I picked up the sushi tray from Kroger’s deli.
The sushi is: white wheat bread, ranch dressing, 2 slices of ham, shredded carrots, 1 slice of swiss cheese, and 2 sweet baby pickles
Need a break
Been fighting a logic problem. Ready for this day to be done.
Great relaxation / High anxiety
I had an awesome weekend. The offshoot of this wonderful weekend is a hellish Monday. I neglected some client obligations and much needed paperwork. Now to make up for it!
So I planted a flower

Life Lesson #512
Maalox comes in a bottle shaped like a flask for a reason.
Stress dreams have the best imagery
My dreams were so vivid and wacky last night that I suspect I’d fail a drug test this morning.
Can I go back to sleep?
I’m having one of those days where it would be best to simply hide in the covers until LOST comes on.
From the mouths of babes
Amy, seven years old: "Thanks for dinner Daddy. Without you, we’d starve to death!"
Me: "Well, you’re welcome."
Evan, four years old: "You can say, ‘my pleasure.’"
Because mouse guts go with bacon
My morning duty today is to cook bacon and clean mouse guts off a large stick that up until this week I would have called sterile. See, the pet shop didn’t have any small rats. Only very large "small" rats so we decided to buy two large mice instead. Either the snake didn’t see or smell the second rotting mouse or he just wasn’t that hungry. And we forgot to check on it. So a couple of days later, the lump of gooey fur became my problem. I have to go flip the bacon now and find a toothbrush I want to forever sacrifice. Enjoy brunch!
Today I’m learning garage door repair
Well, file that one under, "oh sh*t! that’s what the big spring does!"
