I Planted My Broccoli


I Planted My Broccoli




Lots of Roots


Planted in potting soil

It had so many roots it
was begging to be planted.
This is from a stem after I
cut the tops into my omelet.
I think it was early January.
This is a fun experiment.
I keep it on my kitchen table and
watch it grow day by day.

Sure Relaxation Technique

Sure Relaxation Technique

I have been going to tell
you this for a long time.
I keep forgetting. :/
When you are stressed or
have a minor health problem,
Repeat the first verse to
'The Night Before Christmas'
over and over until you relax.
It works every time. Here is the poem.
You can also recite the entire poem,
as the rhythm remains the same.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, ed. (1833–1908). 
 An American Anthology, 1787–1900.  
A Visit from St. Nicholas
By Clement Clarke Moore
 
 
’T WAS the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ST. NICHOLAS soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,     
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.       
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;      
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,        
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.      
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,      
And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;       
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,        
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,        
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,     
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

GTEX 101 Update
Oh..... I have good news!
I made Jiffy Muffin mix
in my GT. They were so
heavenly that you won't
believe it! On a one to 100 scale,
I would give them 100!
One box makes four big Muffins
in only ten minutes.
ALSO...I cut up an idaho potato into
Strips ike carrot sticks (left the skin on)
and cooked them in the GT. Potatoes never
tasted that good..just a little butter added.
I know I sound overly excited, but know that
I am not connected to this product
in any way.
I just like to share great things!
