Misc shorts, again

I wish I knew how I managed to get a bruise on the back of my hand. It's rather hurty, I assume because it's more bones than flesh there.

I had to get off the packed train I was on this morning. The announcement said it was going out of service, because it was "crippled". Not the first word I would think of.

Doors on one train had the message "Doors do not recycle." Which seemed an odd thing to say, since they obviously don't revolve, nor are they likely to be reused. I assume the intent was to tell people that the doors don't rebound (unlike most elevator doors), but I'm still a bit uncertain.

The Piazza San Marco is a trapezoid. Somehow, this pleases me. (Is it bad to have had a trapezoid-filled afternoon?)

Farm share, week 14

A big bag of veggies.... and a bag of fruit!

• a half-peck bag of mixed apples and pears (4 pears, 9 apples)
  
• a half-pint of yellow cherry tomatoes
  
• a bunch of basil
  
• a huge bunch of kale (any takers?)
  
• a large head of gorgeous Boston lettuce
  
• a bunch of carrots with greens (7 carrots, to be precise)
  
• a green pepper and a cubanelle pepper (anyone?)
  
• an Asian eggplant
  
• two smallish red onions
  
• a large delicata squash
  
• two heads of garlic
  
• an acorn squash
  
• a couple of pounds of red-skinned potatoes (13, of mixed sizes)

Yummy. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it all, but mmmm.... The weekly newsletter had recipes for crumble and for apple chutney. I've not tried apple chutney before. And I could put pears in, too. If I had a couple of limes and a bag or two of cranberries, I could make a cranberry chutney, also (Alas, for I have no cranberries in my freezer. It is a sad day, indeed.)

OK, I typed this in an email window and pasted it to the LJ update window, as usual. Except that the LJ update screen has changed. The only real nuisance to the change is that it's wider than my usual screen, which means horizontal scrolling. Which I hate. I hope this isn't the final format...
