A Little What With That Broccoli?

Nana40 · Dec 27, 2009

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. :-X

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

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.

Well, you can always look at it this way:

If the bug was alive, it did not come in contact with pesticides - so it was clean salad!! :laughing7:

The thing that gives ME the heebie geebies, is, once, my 2 sisters-in-law and I went to a well-known, not cheap, restaurant - they brought beautiful salads to us - and I took one bite, when I went for the second, a pretty little (dead) roach was sitting pretty on a piece of lettuce.

Now, THAT is not natural.

What some crazy stories, ya'll! I've heard tales of bugs in food, but this was the first time I've ever seen one in prepared food.

Thanks for the ID, TTOTH!

Evy...I didn't. I know it's probably next to impossible to catch everything, so no big deal. I say that, but if I were to have taken a bite of it, it may have been a different story!

I don't eat broccoli anyhow....that's Charlie's deal.

Sorry MM. :P Is your company gone yet? Put them on here and I'll fetch your last years 'girly' Christmas pics. They'll be gone in no time!

4-H..... :P

Q!

Thanks, PeeWee...so I got a vote for a raincoat snap or a grommet. :icon_thumright:

Sounds better than 1/2's idea.

Thanks, Marty! I've found a few of them. Had no idea someone might collect them.

Breezie...It has been a bit chilly here too...and gosh at the rain....it rained all summer....fall was rain every other day, and now seems winter will be the same. $:-\$ I think next week is going to be REALLY cold here. I could wait on spring if I had my normal Alabama winter back.

Deftone....YES.

Kiwi...

I read over that print three times trying to figure out what was wrong with that print...and I thought, 'Who would name their child HUGE?'

Then I read your caption. :tongue3:

WSD...I hate it too....but Charlie likes it, so I prepare it for him. He somehow thinks it's good for him.....cheese sauce and all!

Thanks ya'll! I've enjoyed reading all the comments and tales and the song! :wink:
