I like kale. I would like to be retired. If I had enough money, I would find plenty to do.

Well, the last 2 mornings in a row I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep for about 40 minutes. Yesterday I didn't get up until after 8 so it wasn't so bad, but today I had to get up before 6. Grrrrrr.
Ah well. I slept on the plane, and have managed to stay awake since arriving at work nearly 6 hours ago. Guess I'll make it another 3.5 till I can leave the office.
I'm not sure that I've ever knowingly eaten kale. Do you treat it like spinach, or does it need more cooking than that?

It is tougher than spinach, and holds up to cooking better. It's very good in stir frys. I don't use the tough stem and chop the leaves fairly finely. It has a very nice flavour.

Don't even talk to me about tired! Fortunately, they're interviewing people to take the position I'm in temporarily so hopefully I'll only have to do this drive for another week or so. Fingers crossed please! I haven't had kale for a long time. Maybe I should make some again some time soon.

I've never heard of acelgas, thingy. I do love chard too. It sounds like you need a tiny dragon nap!

I have to laugh at all this talk of coffee shops, especially now I'm a "pot smoker" on here, because it's where you go to buy joints and hash cookies around here.... Q, I presume I know where that is, if so does the "Paradiso" still exist, it was in an old church I think?

well, i guess that makes it easier, lefters -- you don't have to decide whether or not you should take it?
i'm trying to look on the bright side.
in other news, bar cookies count as cookies. right?

Yep, it's more known as a music venue than a drugs hangout though. Thanks This was a way back maybe 74/75. Of the places I can best remember: Trojan Horse (Den Haag) was mostly a civic youth/social club. Paradiso was mostly the drugs bar upstairs (perhaps it was a slow day) Melkweg was the most like a music venue and the most stoned (risk of passive hallucinations). It was all pretty civilised.

good morning. happy valentine's day. i like valentine's day. i like hearts. i like chocolate too, and flowers. my 6th graders are pretty excited. andres gave regina a teddy bear!!!!!!! they had a bubble-making machine going at the entrance to my son's school. he was pretty much out of his mind with excitement when i left him at school with a box of 25 brownies in his hand and three bubbles in his hair.
i just bought a heart-shaped brownie for my husband.

bah! humbag! ( re Valentines ) I am as angry as it gets! The neighbours who are refurbishing their house have cut the phone line again which means no phone and no internet at home for a month until it is solved by lovely NOT Telecom people. I HATE third world and idiot neighbours. Glad for dragoncito! ad TD who loves Vday
