Of Unwitnessed Moments

41 Comments
becoming the muse

 

If you were having coffee with me I would tell you that its nice of you to come visit, sometimes I need witnesses to witness what I get upto at times….

For starters:

Is it written anywhere that man cannot fry lettuce and must only nibble at it like a rabbit. Well I didn’t read that unwritten memo because witness:

wilted lettuce or kilt lettuce

Yes I did!!! I fried lettuce lightly with a hint of olive oil….

By the way do  not over do it or it will end up looking like this…….

kilt lettuce killed lettuce

If you were having coffee with me, we would not be having coffee but trying out a beetroot beverage. Just cut up the beetroot and boil …..

 

boiling beetroot

It tastes ….. interesting….. you can drink it to wash down the fried lettuce then chew a carrot and ask “Whats up Doc?”

What's up Doc?

If you were sipping on some beetroot juice with me, I would share with you an anecdote a friend mentioned about beetroot. Beetroot they mused, is a vegetable grown in the fiery gardens of hell and the Devil waters it himself by …erm relieving himself in it… and the redness is from the blood of all the sinners soul languishing there…… I don’t think they like beetroot much and I didn’t want to be the only with that imagery stuck in my head… tag it’s in your head now…

While you are trying to shake that visual out of your head I would tell you that next weekend (Saturday 4 November) is the Harare WordCamp. Guess what, I am writing this post while taking a break from working on my presentation… I am on the line up of speakers (pamamonya ipapo… Loosely translated sharing a stage with experts) As I mentioned earlier sometimes we need to be witnessed….. Here is  Everything You Need To Know About WordCamp Harare.

If you were sipping beetroot with me I would tell you that I am more than a pretty mind, I have just completed a pet project to refurbish the kitchen chairs and

spray painting chairs

They turned out ok for someone with a pencil for fingers.

The rest of  the renovations are slowly resolving:

  2. I like wilted lettuce salad, but I haven’t made it lately. Good stuff. The beet juice…that’s reaching back. I don’t think I have bought any since I got married, which is 25 years ago. I remember enjoying it.

    Have fun at your WordCamp!

  4. I roasted beets for Sunday dinner today. I didn’t drink the juice. If you were having coffee with me, I would use our new coffee maker. Unless you preferred drinking tea. I didn’t read all of your daily posts, but I thought about the concept a few times. Sometimes I was drinking coffee. Anyway, I thought I’d let you know. Since you asked. Best wishes.

  7. I enjoyed reading this article. Am one of those people who think lettuce can only taste better raw and crunchy… but will try the cooked lettuce some time. The beetroot juice…you did a great job… your description will be brought to life back every time I think of having beetroot.

    1. Well if you fry it lightly it will still be crunchy unless you stop to reply to comments on your twitter while you cook and you come back and it looks like something someone ate and spat out lol…..you dont want this..

  13. Wow B, thanks for the shoutout! This made my day! I think I originally found you by clicking on a link on Chape’s blog…but I can’t remember for sure. We’ve indeed had several adventures since then, and there are more to come!
