A Green Turtle engaged in some pater,
Paddling back and forth 'cross the Equator,
"With my Shadow cast brief, on this Barrier Reef,
Care not 'Fwinter goes sooner or later."

Wednesday's panini will have a cayenne aioli, grilled eggplant, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, local tomatoes and basil mayo. Thursday is just one request fulfilled after another. Friday is definitely an avocado hero day.
News from the dark side - none, yet again. 
Last week we shared our wild grape pie project.
Last week's bar song limerick;
Said the cat to the querulous crow,
As she stared out the window below,
"The leaves on the poplar are disturbingly doppler,
As an observer like you are should know."

News from the dark side - unofficial sources say that the Honey Crisps are still available at O1.
Last week's limerick anticipated the departure of the local hummingbird crew - fare thee well.
A young hummingbird perched in a glade,
To suck in the sweet water and shade,
Thought, "in these fractions of seconds, as my Yucatan beckons,
I must beat it and rise up and fade." 
Last week's fungus of the week was mighty cool looking, wasn't it.

News from the dark side -
Last week's Rugby limerick, tossed off whilst mowing the lawn. You are so welcome, Jo.
'A young damsel went out on her way,
To enjoy the crisp weather and play,
After scroobious scrum, when they totaled the sum,
She was muddy and queen for a day.'

Dukes of September

The low down on this week's menu - Everyone's favorite red onion pickles (made by our own Sean H-S) are showing up for a second week in a row. If you enjoyed last week's Asian watermelon Salad, you might like this week's Mexican Honeydew. The pizzettes on Wednesday will probably be pesto-artichoke and baby spinach. Thursday's Reuben sandwich was requested by customer-of -the-week, Trish. Thank you for your continued patronage! Chickpea -of-the-sea hasn't been seen in these parts for a couple of semesters. Welcome back!


News from the dark side - A short, seven minute walk, yet world's away.
A Dying Art - last week's limerick
A cicada, emerged from below,
To chorale the young nymphs and bestow,
Said, "After seventeen wickets,
I defer to the crickets,
To perform this new summer's crescendo."

Jimmie McCraklin & His Blues Blasters

The low down on this week's menu - Herbs for Monday's soup will be picked in the dark before I leave home. Asian watermelon salad will be more savory than sweet. And juicy. Very juicy. The summer squash soup is  a sure thing, thanks to Dave. Thursday's lunch depends on how ripe the avocados are by then. I'm guessing that they'll be ripe enough to use, but no promises here. Ripe!
News from the dark side - no news is good news.
Orion is back, too

The work-a-day world takes its toll,
You may gasp for a grasp of the Whole,
To trade virulent clatters, for something that matters,
Put your hands on the shape of a bowl.
