So many topics / so little time

#1 On the topic of declutterflying : it's not the stuff that makes you whole / it's the hole that makes you stuff : what amma gonna do with all these books / cooking magazines ? / too many of muchness

#2 On the topic of Culinary Optionitis / oh so many things to do with shrimp / i make a Bisque for the first time / what amma gonna do with shrimp bisque for 8 people ?

#3 On the topic of poetry forms : my Tanka Pal sends me a Pantoum and a Villinelle / i respond :

"writing a pantoum (5)
creating a villenelle (7)
way more challenging (5)
than a tried and true tanka (7)
i will give them my best shot" (7)

(that's a tanka) (structure of pantoum and villenelle forthcoming / stay tuned in) (will also check on spelling)

(when i introduced the topic of poetry forms at lunch the son-out-law decided he had fire wood to cut)

#4 On the topic of Serendipity : a mild flirtation with roasting brussel sprouts last year caused me to buy some more and then i discovered a recipe for shredding them and dressing them with bacon and pecans / whoever thought of shredding a brussel sprout ? a two pound gift of nitrate/nitrite free bacon from running around pigs brought it all together / never mind

#5 On the topic of The Fictional Archeologist : she feels neglected / she is nagging me / she wants more blog space / i tell her to get her own blogspot / she sez she might do just that

#6 On the topic of La Mia Cugina Italiana / SHE wants more blog time too

sheesh
