To Sum Up
Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 11:12PM Thank you for your well wishes yesterday. The lungs are just rebelling because of all the stagnant air and thus pollution they have been forced to breathe for the last five days. The air is supposed to clear today (soon, baby, soon) and then all should be well in lung land! Of course, if I had a few of these it might hurry things along!
In the meantime, the lungs are gone on hiatus. In a big way...
Hopefully they'll come back from their beach trip rested and ready to work!
In other news, we have a new recruit at our house. Remember this guy? Percy?
I'm not kidding when I say I have used this little mandoline almost daily since I got it for Christmas in 2007. We have done more salads and soups and potato salads and apple pies and the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, his little blade is not sharpenable (is that a word) or removable/replaceable. So our last few games have been eventful. Basically, he still shaves onions but he's terrified of leeks or carrots. He's being benched! Poor guy...
Meet his large, steroidal cousin, Maurice...
Maurice came to us via an incredible trade with Costco. His stats are great! And Maurice's blades can be changed out. Maurice isn't going to take any crap from a leek. And you carrots that think you're all buff and what not? Maurice is gonna slice you up.
Thin.
Paper thin.
He may even julienne you if you get in his face.
I think we're going to play an exhibition game tonight. Maurice vs. The Chicken Pot Pie Veggies.
I'll referee!
Asthmagirl out!

Sorry about the unfriendly air quality in your neck of the northwest. Here it is a balmy plus 2 Celsius. Short lived however. In the next 10 hours or less, it will dip into the minus thirty range.
