That is a seasonal candy given to me this morning by a crafty student. It is made from a - you will like this - Circus Peanut. Oh, Circus Peanuts, you still exist? That is kind of gross, yet comforting in a way. I just found out that one ingredient in the Circus Peanut is pork-skin derived gelatin. Also, that some cereal dude sliced one up on his cereal and that led to Lucky Charms. Yeah, I googled "circus peanut." Anything to avoid the debate. I followed the Liveblog on Jezebel.com, and even that made my blood boil, so now I'm just going to pretend I live on Planet Circuspeanutluckycharm. There are unicorns and rainbows everywhere! And the Circus Peanuts make lovely pillows.
This is my green-on-green-on-green, etc. salad, a.k.a. tomorrow's lunch. First I cut up some Swiss Chard and massage it with a tiny bit of flax oil until it bends to my will. Then I throw on some steamed broccoli, some fava beans, some pepperoncini, and some avocado. It is delicious, and also quite pleasing in its monochromaticism. I have other things I could add, but they would ruin the color scheme.
I am up late for the recent me, but tomorrow isn't a real day, really. It's one of those days where the kids take a state-mandated test all day and I "proctor." They pretty much have to do all the thinking. I just have to tell them, "Sorry, I'm not allowed to help you with anything. Oh, you can't read the directions to the math problem? Apparently the math test is also a test of reading, because I'm not allowed to help you with that at all, according to the state. Best wishes to you."
Mean state.

you are very sexy with the foodstuffs! Woo hoo!
Do the standardized tests have some kind of Physical Education component to them? I think there is an opportunity to combine Circus Peanuts with sports that the United States is missing out on.
Lead the way...
