Day #3 of the 60 Days of Gratitude Challenge

The prompt is Name a food that you are grateful for.

Power Salad greens specifically uncooked spinach, rainbow chard, and argula, also mustard greens.

Why? They are good source of fiber, protein, and vitamin A - also easy to put together in a quick salad. So a salad of spinach greens, green onion or red onion, white or red raddish, cucumber, and another protein of my choice.
Dressing? lemon juice, and maybe some olive oil. Trick to making it flavorful is putting in just the right mixture of salad greens, and toppings.

Rest of the days are HERE.

I'm doing this meme to help keep my head above water and stave off depression. I don't really care if anyone else does it. ;-)

Day #7 of the 30 day book challenge

I had to find the list again, because the link died. Stupid Dreamwidth. Not that I'm exactly following the list all the time, but still.

[Been having an interesting day. No hot water at noon - it went out in the middle of the night last night - but it was on this morning, so go figure. Just not on during the day - boiler being repaired. (Found the sign on the doors leading into the lobby. That's how I know.) No, this has nothing to do with the meme but I thought I'd mention it.]

( That pesky disappearing list )

The prompt? a book with non-human characters.

Mine? The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien

Watch on YouTube

Okay, The Hobbit was among my favorite books growing up. I've read it only once - when I was in the fifth grade. Then I starred as the Great Goblin in a live theater adaptation of it the summer before I was in the sixth grade. And, I've seen the animated film multiple times. Did not watch all of the live action adaptation - because I didn't like the second movie of a trilogy, that could have been done in one film, also it wasn't like the book at all.

I haven't re-read it - because I think I memorized it the first go around.
I have a fondess for it - that is reserved for treasured memories of childhood.

This is to forewarn you - diss or demean "The Hobbit" at your own peril.

You were warned. I'm not joking. (Okay maybe a little.)
