Jump Starting A Semi

Oh, I , Fabiola didn't do THAT. But a friend of Mary's (actually a friend of the fella -- but the fella is out of town working) where was Fabiola? Locked in the broom closet tonight! THAT is where Fabiola was while Mary was up the road in the service truck, super dooper battery booster, reserve truck battery, and 2 pair of jumper cables in tow off to help jump start a semi tractor that just up and died in the middle of an intersection in the cold in the dark, isn't that the way that it always is? The truck started, it took 2 hours. All is well and Fabiola was out in time to watch Project Runway and jot this little note.

Shout out to Anony the commenter -- thanks for the wonderful sounding recipe in comments for Wednesdom! Will re-post as an entry when Fabiola can do justice to it. Hugs!

"I've always modeled myself after Ginger."

Marla Maples

Now, I, Fabiola, would not choose a lumpy, beige (though spicy sweet) root to model myself after, but it seems to have worked for Marla.

Fabiola prefers to grate Ginger and add it to fresh lemon juice and honey to dress fruit salad. Light hand with the Ginger folks!

Anony The Commenter(s)? ...

On Fabiola's short list of super heros!

Tuti-Fruiti Hat - That is The Answer

And now for the question. Posed by Anony the Commenter (Kinda sounds like a super hero, doesn't it?). Anywho, the question.

"What is it about buying some green grapes you consider throwing caution to the wind?"

The green grapes were at the very edge of the produce section dear Anony. That and they are the most dangerous fruit in the entire department. Some seek high adventure on Everest, Fabiola does fruit.

An Everest adventure costs thousands, involves Sherpas toting things (not that they are not lovely people I am sure) and Everest is famous for running out of oxygen. Fruit can be bought for mere dollars a pound, Fabiola can carry it by herself and there are always enough bananas.
