5 Random Things (if I can count)

[hrj]

1. Funniest thing said by the Honda Finance Guy: "We had to run your credit score even though you're writing a check. Nice credit score. Would you like to buy a helicopter? With credit like that, I could get you a helicopter."

2. This season's colors evidently do not include any nice, pure, heraldic greens. My plans to do a current sewing project in wool have faltered on the rock of a complete absence of good greens. I shall have to fall back on the silk, instead.

3. I have tv reception again, courtesy of a cheap Radio Shack set-top antenna. I may need something a smidge stronger to pick up the San Jose PBS station that runs all the good imported sf and mysteries, but I may just have to play with placement.

4. This week's mystery produce is ramps, a type of wild onion. (When I picked it up, I thought it was equivalent to the rampion of Rapunzel fame, but I find I am badly mistaken. At any rate, it will be fun to experiment with. Anybody have any favorite recipes? I'll probably be cooking it tomorrow evening.

5. The raspberries are ripe! I picked the first of the season this afternoon. Also all six cherries with which my tree has graced me this year. The cherries wanted to be a pie, so there's a tart baking upstairs at the moment. The berries are sitting here drowning in light cream.

Problem is, that one sounds exactly like what I was planning to do with the green garlic that I also picked up! (And I'd rather not combine the two because when I'm doing mystery produce recipes, I like to try to highlight the new item so I can really evaluate it.)
