Laughter is the Best Medicine

Laughter has gotten me through this week. Caring for my dying neighbor, I have needed it.

To everyone who did his or her best to get me giggling and guffawing, here’s a couple back your way on this beautiful Friday morning:

1. Google

Last night while preparing dinner, I had to google “how to boil an egg.”

It was for an all-organic Spinach Salad:
Spinach
3 boiled eggs
Red onion
Fresh grated Parmasean cheese
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
(simple & delicious)

It was paired with a loaf of Essential Bakery Pugliese bread, Swiss, Gouda, and Cheddar cheeses, and organic Spaghetti & non-meatballs.

Toss in a little red wine and candlelight and it made for a lovely Thursday night with my cute-as-a-button husband.

I am left to ponder…where was I before Google?

2. Orange Pudding

This one comes courtesy of the latest Stranger:

Hot Tipper Bryan visited a downtown T-Mobile outlet, where he was promptly assaulted by stink. Its source: a little girl, who’d reportedly plunged a hand down her pants and come back with poo, which she happily hucked onto the carpet, the rolling waves of stench instigating what Hot Tipper Bryan described as “ a minor stampede to the exit.”

“But here’s the best part,” writes Bryan, who lyrically characterized the toddler’s output as “orange pudding.”

“As her parents attacked the carpet with wads of napkins, the little girl wandered around picking up floor-model cell phones with her poopy hand, exclaiming with total seriousness, ‘Mommy, it’s time to phone home.’”
