thought I'd seen it all...

Just when you think you've seen it all...a woman driving in the car next to me was USING HER CURLING IRON!!  I mean, in traffic.  As in, busy traffic.  Not stopped at a red light, either.  What was she thinking?  Don't we have enough problems in the world without having to risk getting hit on the road because some yahoo didn't give herself 5 extra minutes to get ready in the morning?  What is wrong with these people?!?  Whew.  Glad to get that out.

In other news, before that, I was helping out at the school for the Nature Keepers program...what a wonderful way to get kids outdoors and into the garden.  Pulling weeds, planting seedlings, shoveling mulch for pathways, all during their recess time.  The science teacher takes 3 kids from each class on a volunteer basis.  They just love it!  One of the 2nd graders told me, "This is way more funner than regular recess."  Way more funner indeed.

A recipe for today?  Easy, easy side dish for tonight -- Moroccan spiced carrots.  One pound of carrots, fairly thinly sliced and boiled, 3 T olive oil (lately I am loving the Spanish extra virgin olive oil from Trader Joe's), 1 T apple cider vinegar, a sprinkle of cumin and smoked paprika.  Salt and pepper of course. Mix, taste, and try to save some for everybody else.

Shabbat Shalom!
