201 and 1: Day 2

I’m posting this on my FB page as well as this site; feel free to post it to yours.  The goal is to come up with 201 single-word items that typify this year.  By the end of December, we will have a people/places/things banner poem to wrap around the year and send off into the annals of history.  The game stops when 201 words have arrived.  The “1” part is a surprise that we will get to once we have the first 201 words.  In Comments below, add your word.  Here we go,  … Get your words in!

1.  Illuminati

2.  Zombies

3.  Mathy-apolis

4.  Anonymous

5.  Kardashian

6.  “Really?”

7.   Irene

8.  Scribbling(s)

I’m Gonna Eat My Houseplants!

Yay!  Happy Friday to me!  I just got the good (Googled) news that Begonias are edible.  This, my revel friends, I did not know.  I got them this summer just because they were pretty, seemed sturdy, and added a pop of color to my garden.  Not gonna tell you what I’m going to do with this exciting news, but it’s gonna be yuuuuuuuummmmmmmmy!  thank you, God (& Shannon’s on Ft. Hamilton Pkwy.), for begonias…

Thank You

CSA, my garden, Crescent Dragonwagon (though I’ve taken more than a few liberties with this stew, originally based on her curried apple and sweet potato soup), and thank you reading this. I’ve been buried in other endeavors lately but hope to poke my head up soon, look at the moon or smell whatever flowers might be left of the season, and tell you all about how I’m planning to harness my holiday purchasing power to make the planet a happier place. Stay tuned.
