afternoon tea
Mar. 11th, 2005 01:09 pmMy new boss is a total sugar fiend, did I say that already? He bought cookies the other day (which I did mention). He bought them yesterday (at Panera), and then someone (not sure who, but I'll wager a guess) brought some new ones in this morning. I'm off for tea and a cookie. So much for healthy lunches! At least I got a good amount of fruits and veggies in me today:)
Its tormenting my poor co-worker who gave up cookies for Lent. Its funny, because for many years of my life I was giving something up for Lent, how quickly I forget (and related, forget about that meat on Friday's thing). I wonder if kids at CCD still put their spare change into little cardboard containers that look like small milk cartons for charity fund raising (was it Easter Seals? It was so long ago that I can't remember).
On the fruit and veggie note, The Di's, hubby and I are going in together on a community farm share here http://www.communityfarms.org/ and will split the veggies each week that we get during the season (a share provides produce for a family of 4). The comical thing, is its at the elusive "Umass Waltham" (heh, didn't know there was one of those now, did you?) over across from the Girl Scout Museum (didn't know there was one of those either, did you?). Here's the schedule of the loot: http://www.communityfarms.org/c-harvestsched.htm . This should be interesting! Its a way to get fresh food, contribute to the community, and get creative in cooking things (I like how the site has recipes and nutrition information on the various ingredients http://www.communityfarms.org/c-veg.htm ). I'm really excited about it and can't wait for it to start, maybe in June based on the season schedule . . .
On a completely other note, the SW trailer is looking mighty fine, and it appears that this final prequel may actually be good (!?). We shall see!
