I should have had a week where all I did was purge wedding gifts I've never opened. I'm not sure why I registered for this mini-chopper. The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, says that she avoids buying specialized kitchen utensils and appliances when something else in her kitchen will make do. The mini chopper is the perfect example of an appliance that is unnecessary as long as you own a good knife. I do own a good knife and I even prefer to chop my own onions and peppers and cabbage. As an added bonus, knives are easy to clean.
P.S. The bananas in the above picture are now brown. I wish bananas did not go brown so fast. I guess I'm going to have to make a banana cake or banana bread.
The saga of the vultures continues. Last night it was fairly breezy in my neck of the plains. FYI: "breezy" in Kansas = "gale force wind" in Missouri. I returned home from a meeting at church and looked up in the sky and there were no less than 15 vultures wind surfing around our neighborhood. It was almost like synchronized swimming. Also, when I run or walk or ride my bike in the evenings there are hundreds of dragonflies out catching their dinner. I'm going to try and catch a dragonfly picture, but for now you'll have to settle for the vultures again.
I realize that there are only eight vultures in this picture, but trust me, there were a bunch more out of the frame.
