A Little What With That Broccoli?

[Nana40]

So. I had had my fill of Christmas spirits. All the company was gone, the house back in order and trip to the market to restock was done. I called Lisa, who had called me on Saturday ready to get out, to see if she was ready for some hunting. We went to the Doozy site..only on over a bit from the original Doozy site....this is the Double Doozy site. :P One where you have to scoot under and around all the privets and briars. She found two wheats and I had nothing to speak of but an old piece of a chain. Did spot a couple of old bottles (maybe from the 50's), but I left them... I changed locations and found the anchor button. I had found one months ago about 400 feet from here, but this one is different. And it doesn't have a back.

Here's the link to the other one:

The owners had put in a water line, so that meant new dirt and the possibility for neat old glass and marbles and such. Found the little lip stick tube and then the old piece of glass. I thought it was funny that they had misspelled 'made'. Found one of the Shell tokens and lucky enough to spy a little marble in the mud.

We only got a couple of hours in, but it was relaxing just to get out and have nothing to think about. Called it a day and headed for the house.
After cleaning up, I started dinner just as usual. Meatloaf, mashed potato's, purple hull peas and broccoli and cheese. Last thing to get done was the broccoli and cheese. I get it out of the microwave, give it a stir.......and notice this in my bowl.

Of course, this didn't get served at my dinner table.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. My hubby was thoughtful enough to buy me a new camera, so now ya'll won't have to look at the blurry spot in the middle of my pics any more.

What a waste of some good broccoli!!

I didn't know that there was such a thing as "good" Broccoli.......
More appetizing to me with the worm in.....

But don't get me started on mustard greens.....MMMMMMMM

 

[Marty-Graw]

excellent finds as always Nana.....but my fave is the little Disabled Veterans miniature tag piece (I know that one is probably just the back) but.......I have a guy that buys every one I can find at estate sales or flea markets......he LOVES them

 

[Breezie]

Nana, it's not easy being purple .. .or is it green? Nice finds and good eye on the protein. It's cold as a witch's well digger here; is it Spring yet? LOL Breezie

 

[GreatWhite00]

At first I thought it was one of those purple hull peas you mentioned.

Where I work we go through pallets and pallets of frozen broccoli. I have only seen one "worm" and I discarded it immediately.

Out of all the starving children in the world you toss out a batch of nasty broccoli over 1 tasty cheezy worm...wtfrig? Hate to see what you do when a fly lands on yer burger!

 

[trikikiwi]

It doesn't look like the worm ate too much, so tuck in, I say

The Maed in Japan is a classic

It reminds me of this crockery we have

I would've eaten the broccoli, but not the worm. Bet the kids were glad you threw that sidedish out.

Good Call Nana !!

Glad you had a good Christmas.

Oh, man, I sorted frozen veggies one summer for Bird's Eye - that was one of the worst summer jobs I ever had. I think that is where my
arthritis started. (I was young then, still in school) and then one part summer sorting frozen blueberries - after one hour, you cannot feel your hands, never mind pick up a bug.

I vote Banner for the grub! We found four or five of those oval pieces in our last privy and I thought they were numbers from a wooden utility pole. Grommets make more sense, though, because if they were numbers, they wouldn't be all zeros!

 

[warsawdaddy]

It wasn't the chopping or the freezer that killed that worm - it was the broccoli! I hate broccoli!Broccoli has been known to drive cats crazy to the point of jumping in plastic bags and hanging out in trees.But well done on the hunting,Nana.Overnight I got another 3"of snow and still coming down.Bama,O Bama where are you?

 

[sniffer]

Nana, glad you got a chance to get out hunting. maybe next time I get out that way, I'll get to meet Lisa
as for your little dinner buddy, I think you threw out some perfectly good protein. LOL
what does that disable vet tag say ?

 

[Pentico]

There is a song in this thread some where! lmao

You would think you would find a worm digging up treasure not in a bag.
Oh wait throw that worm in some tequilla!

Happy New year, contnued sussess in 2010!

I forgot to add - congratulations on the new camera!Pics are much better.They really bring out the hidden wildlife.

Sung to "How much is that doggie in the window"

"how much is that broccoli in the freezer
The one that has worms in them please

How much is that broccoli in the freezer
I do hope the worms come with the cheese"




I used to hate broccoli - then when I was pregnant with my first child, my tastes changed and I started eating it (Halibut and broccoli every Friday),
and I have loved it, and planted it, ever since.

[Old River]

I use to love Broccoli.LOL..... I like the finds more.

 

[{Sentinel}]

Dang Nana that is AWFUL Tasty NATURAL FOODS with your ORGANIC BROCCOLI

 

[Bavaria Mike]

Nice finds but, that broccoli, I would have thought the worm was a piece of bacon and ate it up, LOL. HH, Mike

I had a nice wiggly green one in my salad at a rather upscale restaurant once. I called the waiter over and asked him "what's this in my salad?" He leaned over and peered into the bowl. "It looks like a worm" he said. "I'll get the manager." I got a free dinner!

No, it wasn't planted there by me.
