Geo, this is a fun list. I love that you chased the moon. I love B&B. I haven't figured out knitting yet, but I love crocheting.
Merry Christmas!
I love jicama...
So, the B&b is good????
I heart you. a lot.
Hee hee...I just had to write an article on ceviche.
Chasing the moon is wonderful indeed, as are compassionate husbands.
What's your fave B&B product?
Funny...the three things on your list that stuck out to me were each mentioned in the first three comments: Chasing the moon (I love the night sky, it can always distract me when it's needed); b., I didn't know you loved jicama too--the taste reminds me of peas fresh out of the garden; and my #1 pick,compassionate husbands.
MMmmm ceviche.
I'm grateful for the image of you grabbing your coat and chasing down the moon. It's one of the things I love about you--I could just tell you were a moon chaser.
WENDY. I have rediscovered crochet recently, and am beginning to enjoy it. However, knitting is still my first love. It seems more meditative and balancing to me, probably because both hands seem about equally involved.
B. I can't get enough of that jicama stuff. This is my confession.
I heart you too. A lot. (Gotta show you my tree heart one of these days. I think you'll appreciate it.)
RYNELL. An article? For . . . ? Did you have to do investigative research (I hope)?
I'd have to say that my favorite Bb. product is the Shep Salon in Provo, but beyond that, maybe the Brilliantine. I like the stying lotion too and the thickening spray. I'm really an Aveda girl at heart, so I'm just getting familiar with the Bb. line. Actually, I'm so low maintenance, that using anything at all on my hair is a recent change for me. But I'm still pretty far down on the on the primp scale.
AM'N. That's it! Jicama tastes like fresh garden peas to me too. I am also addicted to those, whenever I get the chance to be. Another of my recent fascinations: freshly ground roasted almond butter.
AZUCAR: I am going to make my first home batch after Thanksgiving. I have happy shrimp and fish waiting patiently in my freezer, and organic lime juice. Yumyumyummyyum. I just learned that it's traditional to drink the "milk" that's left over when you've eaten your ceviche, after you've mixed it with vodka. I'll likely pass on that, but it's interesting.
C-DUB. At least I'm not a car-chaser, though the two seem related. The moon and I go way back with this chasing thing—it used to follow me when I was a child. Now I'm returning the favor.
I watched the craters of the moon last night through my new telescope, and I thought of you.
Comet as in the awesome power of clean, or the comet that's been in the sky this past month?
I'm grateful for your gratitude.
jicama is SO good!!
I I E EE. Awwww!
Hey. Wait. What's that you said? You got a new telescope? That is so very exciting!
I meant Comet, as in, This looks so nice, how come I don't scrub the bathroom more often? But I prefer your celestial kind.
KALLI. Not only is it lovely and talented, the humble jicama is also great at self-defense—it produces a natural insecticide in the above ground vine, meaning that the plant protects itself from harmful pests. Aren't you glad I told you?
