Mr. Moore has recently discovered the pleasure of photography as a hobby.
Naturally, I am abusing this hobby for my own purposes. BEHOLD!
Veggies
The fourth and final crate of winter veggies has arrived!
This batch is modeled by a round lion, a fuzzy hedgehog, and a stone owl. We have TWO kinds of potatoes, baby bok choy, spinach, carrots and parsnips, turnips, garlic (we may have enough garlic to single-handedly save the world from vampires at this point), more celeriac (hooray! Splendid soup we made from the last one. Believe it or not, somewhat hard to find celeriac in the grocery store. Can’t imagine why), another bag of onions (Mmmm, onions), a green cabbage the size of my head, and more squash.
I’m convinced there are people in this world who believe we can never have enough squash. Furthermore, they all work at this farm.
This is the LAST of the winter veggie share for 2009 and I, for one, am exhausted. Full to brimming with yummy veggies, but exhausted. I’ll be limiting myself to the every-other share for the summertime. =]
Pen
In other recent-photos news, I received an elegant pewter fountain pen set (complete with inkwell!) from my friend Coffee Lady at work. Yes, my cuticles are still stained from using it, and no, it’s not as fun to use as you think it is.
…It’s like ELEVENTY BILLION times more fun than you think it is.
I feel quite prosh and Jane Eyre’esque dipping my pen into the inkwell, as if I should also be wearing a monocle or something. Not that Jane Eyre wore a monocle. I mean, maybe she did, JUST for when she was writing using an inkwell and fountain pen, I don’t know.
SOCKS
In other news, I totally got pink argyle legwarmers. Yeah. I’m pretty awesome.
Socktastic!

I want a fountain pen too! And a fuzzy hedgehog!
I am afraid I will skip the pink socks. In my raiding group the favourite “raid assistant is bored” pastime is to give me the pink diamond mark, just so that I growl on Vent and demand its removal *laughs*

@Lauren
Aren’t they? And since they have no toes, I can totally wear them with flipflops.
I have a shorter version of those, marketed as toe-less socks. but they are no-less pink! I love them too
@KristenSue
I remember your pictures of the toe-less socks! Were they also argyle?
No, they were merely stripped…. Where did you get yours?
@KristenSue
They were a Crimmas present from the Heatherness.
I have a garden supply store in a county a little north of the statesand have packages of seeds all year round, not just for the spring season. I have sold packages of celeriac for almost 40 years. The picture on the package looks exactly like the root and many new gardeners ask me what it is as it is almost never in the grocery stores. It is very easy to grow and I tell them it is uised in soups in europe. Your supplier maybe from eastern europe.
@Lytstep
I’m not sure if they are – but it wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a great vegetable – I highly recommend it to any soup-makers out there wanting to expand their recipe listing.
