Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor ita! I was considering taking a fake sick day today, but was scared of the karmic implications.

Does it again with 35 brats in 10 minutes.

And my very first thought was "They let her eat children? Woo-hoo!"

Heh. I've never heard that song, but that is a masterful exegesis.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Hivemind question:

This weekend we bought some delicious greens, which were described as "succulant" and "slightly lemon flavored" (which I agree with). The small leaves come on tough stem, which isn't very tasty, so we have been stripping the leave off before adding to salad. It looks kind of like mache but I don't think that's what it is. I think I would know the name if I heard it again.

Any thoughts? My googling skills give me no love. Probably because they SUCK.

Nora, is it any of these? Or these?

I don't think i see it on those pages. I wonder if it's some weird name for mache. Hmm, well, I guess I may need to shake down the farmstand that sold it to us and write it down this time or something.

We were in a farmers market FRENZY on Saturday.

(I'd never ever even heard of this green by that name before, and I'm relatively well aware of various greens and herbs and vegetables and stuff. I guess NSM)

no, the sorrell leaves are too large and leafy. The taste description is similar though.

I think sorrel can come in a lot of varieties. I've had wild sorrell and it's tiny.
