Random Stuff
Oct. 4th, 2024 02:15 pm Shawn is working until 5 pm tonight. This is her last day at work before the knee surgery (T-4 days!) and the bosses are getting their money's worth before she goes on extended leave.
I've been working through the big list of Things To Do that she left on the piano for me. I've crossed off almost everything, including taking the air-conditioner out of the sun room window (by myself!). Today, I picked up some cookbooks that the Roseville Library had set aside for the history center. While I was out there, I drove through a Free Farmer's Market (Keystone) and I now have a small set of unidentifiable vegetables on kitchen table. I think they are turnips, but, honestly, they might be yellow beets. ID being somewhat hampered because these are not in great shape.

I did cut one open and smell it. The reason I am going with "could be yellow beets" is, in part, because the interior flesh was quite yellow. The scent, however, was not distinctively beet (nor ringed like some of the non-red colored beets are when I buy them intentionally at regular farmer's markets), but rather slightly sweet in a way I associate with turnips. To be fair, however, I am not generally a fan of turnips and so I could be completely wrong about their smell.
Feel free to give me your best guess.
I just got a text from Shawn. The big boss is running even later than expected, so who knows when she'll be able to come home. The thing is, she's the expert on this one thing and so they really want her there as they wrap it up. And, while they could call for advice while she's in recovery, probably you don't want her making important decisions while on OxyContin. Probably.
The other things I need to do yet today--only one of which is on Shawn's master list--is get postcards to the mail and take the car in for a car wash. We have discovered that this is a luxury we really enjoy, having someone else regularly vacuum the schmutz from the floorboards, etc. I'll probably actually go do those once I finish writing this, if only to get them off the list. If I have to come home and do nothing for a while before turning around to pick-up Shawn that feels better to me than rushing to go get her from somewhere far away, you know?
Tomorrow is my big GM gig. I am very excited, though a bit nervous because even though this is supposed to be a stripped-down version of D&D 5e, I feel like I need to be prepared to actually PLAY D&D 5e... which is a bit daunting, despite my zillion and a half hours of both playing the game myself and actually watching other (expert) people play it.
Right! I'm off!
UPDATE: I peeled them last night and all of you who guessed golden beets were, in fact, correct! Well done!
