Here’s one book that would be really useful

November 27, 2022November 27, 2022 ~ Jnana Hodson ~ 4 Comments

My proposal for a sure-fire hit:

Bachelor Survival Food:
20 recipes to give to your nerdy brother or boyfriend.

Make it really basic, like instant pudding or ramen soup with tofu,  but a step beyond peanut butter and jelly or frozen pizza.

What would you include?

Let’s be clear in our understanding

Maine’s freshly harvested spuds make the world’s most glorious mashed potatoes. Skins and all.

Those of you in the Pacific Northwest may weigh in to the contrary. Not that I really expect you to.

 

She’s out, asleep, just like that

You know, dead in their tracks, as the expression goes. Just falls over, with a thud. Our younger daughter used to fall asleep like that, too, dropping off in mid-step.

I never paid much attention to gale warnings before moving to the island.

Seems there’s a “small craft advisory” every other day, not that I sail.

Even in this tranquil life.
