tpbm has recipes for spring garlic

[International Incident]

Spring garlic - never heard of it. Is it small fresh garlic?

TPBM loves mushrooms in all their tasty glory.

[Eric]

I looooooooooooooooove mushrooms! Even have a favorite mushroom vendor I go to on Weds at the Farmers Market.


tpbm is a Farmers Market fanatic


(spring garlic is immature garlic before the cloves form- looks like leek with a larger bulb at the end, tastes like mild garlic)

[catinthefunnyhat]

You know, I should be. There's a lovely (albeit very small) farmer's market about a 15-minute walk from my home, every Tuesday from May through October. Every year I decide I'm going to be a regular there yet only manage a few visits, mostly for the wild blueberries in the fall (OMG! SO GOOD!). I guess it doesn't help that I have a great fruit/veg shop next door to my building, a grocery store next door to that, a fruit truck that sets up in a park a block away, and another grocery store, a butcher, and a bakery within a 5-minute walk of my home. (Wow -- listing it all like that reminds me how rich we are in this low-rent, ostensibly "sketchy" neighbourhood...).

TPBM is also rich in ways that don't involve big money.

[theCryptofishist]

I have a very large collection of "wacky crap", if that's what you mean.
TPBM is so bored with the four standard colors, whether those are blue, red, yellow and green; or black, blue, red and green.

[Trishntek]

It's all about PINK for me!

TPBM finds purple more preferable

[jella]

More of a Violet mood actually
TPBM has been told not to wear so much black but thinks it makes them look badass

[theCryptofishist]

Pretty much people don't seem to care what I wear.
TPBM took a while to find workplace wear that worked for her/him.

[The CO]

I just made it myself.







TPBM needs to wear more kilts....

[theCryptofishist]

Three at a time is all I can manage.
tPBM thinks that I said what I said two posts up deliberately to get the CO to post kilt pictures.

[Trishntek]

Well it does seem more than coincidental,,,,
TPBM likes kilts

CO! Nice! i wear kilts myself and admire others who enjoy the breeze down under as well!

[Savannah]

I do love kilts. On everybody. A round of kilts for everyone!

The person below me has a playa hoodie.

[The CO]

Several, in fact.

TPBM has been on the computer too much today.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, but my section meeting was deadly.
TPBM is making a trout puppet.

[International Incident]

I just googled it and discovered that i should be making a trout puppet. But I am at work so that's not practical at this exact point in time.

TPBM is really looking forward to the weekend

[knowmad]

I Am!
We have a Sweatlodge planed for Saturday and a Friends potlatch on sunday.
TPBM had to look for the silver lining in a situation today, but found it all the same.

[Eric]

I've found the silver lining, but it's tarnished. However, I am getting closer!


tpbm hates polishing brass

[catinthefunnyhat]

I haven't polished brass since I was a little kid and used to polish the brass thingamajigs at my parent's church. I liked it then, althought it always seemed potentially infinite. I wonder how many brain cells I killed with the Brasso fumes.

TPBM is never, ever late for appointments.

[theCryptofishist]

*looks around* who? me? I'm somewhat compulsively early, but I also lose track of time and am becoming a little flakier with age.
TPBM saw "flakier" and thought: "Mmmm, frosted flakes..."

[Dr Helix]

THEY'RE GRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually consider them a desert. I keep a box on the shelf to satisfy my sweet tooth.

TPBM has romantic plans for the weekend

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not really. A friend's birthday party on Saturday and a volunteer commitment on Sunday.
But Friday nights my partner and I always have a dinner date. I guess that's kind of romantic

TPBM has made something in macrame.

[The CO]

I'm a crochet guy.

TPBM knows the difference between a figure 8 and figure 9 knot.

[Trishntek]

once around or twice around 9 is less than 8

TPBM can tie certain knots with their eyes closed

[catinthefunnyhat]

Granny, square, maybe a bow
I did learn a bunch of knots for BM2000, but I'll have to relearn them all if I'm going again this year.

TPBM thinks it would be fun to wear a bow tie and a monocle next time s/he goes fancy.

[Trishntek]

I've considered a monocle more than once with a bowtie,,, I might feel over dressed tho'

TPBM is or has a "back door man"

[Eric]

Yeah, but since I live with him I have more of a "back door wife"


tpbm expected a different answer from me

[Trishntek]

nope, that was pretty much spot on,,,,

TPBM is a bit disturbed

[Sail Man]

Not in the least Not much does. No vanilla here.

tpbm has a safe word.

[knowmad]

Yup! it's "What kind of sick Bastard spanks Bunnies?"

TPBM sees the circular logic in seeing circular logic.

[OregonRed]

Only on days that end in "y". (The non-sequiter is deliberate.)

TPBM is fairly certain the cats are plotting against them.
