…(is there anything better that comes out of the dirt?) are baking in the oven at the suggestion on the farmer’s market lady that I bought them from this morning, which involved slicing them really thin, covering with a bit of olive oil and salt, spreading them out on a sheet, popping them in the ..

…is on TV this morning as played by Jim Carey in “Man on the Moon” which I was watching, even though it is a beautiful sunny day in the upper 70’s, because I am sick in bed – and having never given Andy Kaufman much thought, now I am kind of obsessed – so I’m ..
