Weekend sads include: Setting big goals for Saturday and getting no where near them. The fruit trees are not yet planted.

I was a little miffed that a planning meeting on Saturday night had a wrong eastern time zone time; but it meant i was sitting at the computer when Dad called. I think we had a good chat: he'd been blue but cheered up talking.

Chipping the rim of a tiny little china plate in a set of four that we got to serve whipped cream to Luigi. Also, i tried making a egg salad with some of my pickled green tomatoes but, yoiks, i used too much vinegar.

I've tried making a sauce out of a good bunch of them, hoping a can of tomato paste will cut the overwhelming tart. I think i then erred on the mustard, letting the powder sit in water for ten minutes before adding it to the acid. I hope it mellows well.

I also tried rehydrating my tough as leather figs with some spices and a bit of orange peel. Fig marmalade? I'll see.

Despite saying no more plants, i did get some spiderwort -- which are an edible flower as well as leaves and roots -- planted in my edible spring veg and flower section. I'll have day lilies there, and i wonder about a blue and orange flower stirfry. I ended up buying Solomon's seal and ostrich fern from a bargain Etsy seller today, imagining the ferns and the asparagus-like Solomon's seal in the same part of the plot, lovely shade friendly plants.

Game day notes include:

Go Eagles! (Where i won't loose any sleep over the game.)

"Opus Number One" was originally produced by Tim Carleton and Darrick Deel in I989, serving as a core part of Cisco's Music on Hold set; Bud Light using it in its ad for #SuperBowlLVII validates the fact that the New Age genre is back, expect more of it.

Well, with Anheuser-Busch letting go of exclusive (red-white-and-blue) alcohol advertising during the super bowl, we get David Grohl's "Thank You Canada" ad mentioning Rush and Crown Royal.

Oh, OK, the premature electrification ad is not bad. And i kinda liked the Workday Rock star ad.

And, Mahones is a great quarterback, so yay for him. (Sads for the Eagles and poor Philly.)

I had no idea spiderwort was edible-- it's pretty shy-flowering, though, in my experience....

Now I wonder whether its relative dayflower, which was considered a weed in the Southern Illinois of my growing-up, is also edible.... Ah ha, yes, they are.
