In my experience, I'd say maybe half the tomato haters extend the aversion to the sauce.

And then there are weirdos like my daughter who love tomatoes but hate every kind of tomato sauce. Every single one.

Your daughter and I are sisters under the skin.

I also like pasta aglio e olio - in olive oil and garlic

When my kids were young they'd come into the kitchen to ask what was for dinner. If I replied, "I'm cooking," they'd walk away groaning, "Uhhh, spaghetti bolognese so." For one, I knew they'd eat it and for two, there was little I could do to it that might prove hazardous.

I owe a post from earlier, so my daughter came back today from San Fran, which behaved itself impeccably while she was there. Her partner's hurling ventures went well, winning both games he played. She brought me back my new favourite socks which have a picture of a guy holding a book and underneath is written, "Fuck off, I'm reading."

 

[Louanne Learning]

Lol, I understand the reading zone.

Someone set off a firecracker and scared my poor puppy dog last night. Given extreme fire conditions, you'd think people might have better sense than to light little sticks of gunpowder and shoot sparks into the air.

Your faith in humanity is admirable, though perhaps unwarranted.

Happy 4th America.
Have a dog-friendly firework.

I may be a little late (or missed it completely depending, on where you are), but I hope you all had a happy and restful holiday, free from interference by idiots!

I also hope your holiday was also free from things catching on fire. Unlike this story (from Not Always Right):

O Say, Can You Singe

I need to renew my passport and this time I am going to do it online.

When I went to the post office earlier this week, I picked up a passport application for my grandson. My daughter wants to take him overseas for high school graduation.

Driving home this morning, at the top of the Garden City Skyway ( a 2 km bridge over the Welland Canal) - I saw roadkill.

It's hard for me to imagine that that animal didn't know the danger it was putting itself into by going up there. Was it old and sick? Was it looking for a quick way out?

 

[CatrionaGrace]

Was it an invasive species, like pythons in Florida? If so, it was obviously a case of pesticide.

 

[Louanne Learning]

I couldn't tell what it was anymore. I think it might have been a raccoon.

Probably got run over by a fork truck

 

[CatrionaGrace]

Fork truck? Is that British for forklift or something different?

 

[big soft moose]

It’s American for a forklift I’m assured by @That Guy Named Aaron .

I was joking because he drives a fork truck and his buddy @JFB is a raccoon

 

[Rath Darkblade]

I wonder if Aaron ever offered JFB a "lift", whereupon JFB told Aaron to fork off ...

 

[Louanne Learning]

Do you call them fireflies or lightning bugs?

They were out last night, blinking in my back yard.

We just call them forklifts or, if that is the only lift possible where you are "lift". I've never heard it called a fork truck

Do you call them fireflies or lightning bugs?

Lightning bugs

 

[Louanne Learning]

Lightning bugs

they're neat to watch.
