Only after a few washings, necessary to stimulate germination, these sprouts are now stretching all over the mason jar, which in turn has created a bit of infighting amongst the once cooperative group.
The early stages of the delicate life of the sprout is a balancing act of just the right amount of temperature, darkness, moister and care.
Our brave sprouts are on their way to completing the mission they set out to do. Look at them now all busting outta their shells.
With the alfalfa seeds making the envied cut for this mission the wait is over. Those in the losing end for the running, broccoli seeds, green peas and lentils, all had something to say about the process of choosing those who have been selected. Green peas may have been the most vocal proclaiming, "there is an obvious bias in this decision making process, for the alfalfa sprouts are the smallest in size making the motives sizist." When asked how that would be different if green peas had been chosen, being the largest of the prospective seeds in the group up for selection, the response was silence, and then the green pea spokespea said, "no comment," then covered its face from the flash of cameras and hurried on into its pod for a getaway.
Here today, we've made some difficult decisions, and have now narrowed it down to a select few candidates. The chosen ones are... the alfalfa sprouts!
(Think movie phone voice)
I know ya'll wanted a closer look so here it is. Oh, watch out, catch that drool on your chin.
What better way to end, or for that matter, start a day than with a hot blue cornbread, freash figs and a delicious parfait. That chocolate mousse looking stuff you see, I made that from scratch. The layers consist of soy yogurt, chocolate mousse, turkish mulberries, crazins and topped off with a sprig of spearmint.
This was the amazing view of leaf like clouds over my city of Minneapolis. You just cannot beat those so clear it's scary days of October light, when the jet stream is set up just right and the high pressure keeps particles in the sky to a minimum. The colors are so vibrant and reflections on windows look like the real thing. I miss October already. for those of you who don't know, we had one of the longest falls in some time here in Minnesoootahhh! (Note for those of you who are not from Minnesoootahhh, when you say the name you could be mistaken for someone who is). Until next year October sky.
Yes, I was a band geek. Not anymore, well at least I don't have the clothing to prove it, since I have donated all of these articles which I no longer wear. The list includes t-shirts from cross country running, cross country skiing, track and field and some random football tee I bought, for our team (school's team) won state back in '92 when I was in middle school and I thought I was cool to wear this shirt and show my pride. LOL, what a dork.
That's right, remember to vote and fulfill your democratic duties, or you can be one of those people that complain about the system and how corrupt it is and then continue to rant and rave and never do anything in order to change that facet of politics. This is especially true when it comes to local elections where issues directly impact our lives and those of our neighbors, yes national elections do have an impact, such as signaling to the world that our foreign policy is to carry a big stick and not be careful with what we do with it.
