I don’t know why, and it’s never quite come over me so strongly before, but while grocery shopping today, I felt an overwhelming urge for fresh vegetables.

I love raw vegetables. Cooked vegetables I’m ok with, so long as there is a bit o’ the crunch left in them. Also, in case anyone is wondering, corn is NOT a vegetable. It is the devil’s playground. Words cannot describe how much I despise corn in its many forms.

Where was I? Oh yes. Fresh vegetables. I picked up some supplies for some stir fry, and am planning on having that for supper. I got home and as soon as the groceries were away, I ate a tomato. That hit the spot. Some people may think that’s just a cliche, but those people have never had a craving that was so perfectly fulfilled as was the tomato being eaten by me this afternoon.

mmmm….vegetables.

I have decided(after last night’s drinking) that while I am still in Bemidji, I am only going to drink alcohol under the following conditions:

1. If it was a gift from someone
or
2. If I have made it myself.

if neither of those apply, I’m not going to drink it.

Not only will this save me money, but it’ll probably save me brain cells.

just racked the mead. holy crap for fizzy.

and it’s a bit more sour than what I expected, but that is probably due to the massive amount of yeast put in there.

I have the feeling it will be very very tasty on saturday evening.
