into the void

puddles' kids are acting just like mom did last winter..it must be genetic...
the yacon and mashua are evincing new growth...
and the january spud is happily filling its side of the container...
six days ago the spud on the left in this photo...
looked like this...
and the one on the right had this look about it...there has been progress here...
cohabiting with garlic hasn't harmed this spud over the past week either...i am uncertain as to whether it helped...but i don't see a need to shuffle the population around either...
and now we move on into the post-organic arena...there was a bag of "america's #1 finger hat" aka bugles lying about...a close personal friend...and big fan of puddles and the kids...called it a "colorful bag" which is a true statement...colorful and very busy with the promise of fun ( what else could a "finger hat" be but fun? )...someof us are killjoys however andf i just had to take a look at the nutritional ( or, in this case, non-nutritional ) label...
there's fat..but no trans fat or cholesterol..okay...also more salt than you can shake a stick at...a touch of protein and barely discernible vitamin d, calcium, iron or potassium...one would presume there would be some nutritional value to something that is a "crispy corn snack"...a supposition until you take a shufti at the bottom of the label where it boldly states "ingredients: DEGERMED YELLOW CORN MEAL...and the nutritional mystery is solved...general mills removed it...probably because it complicated the process of extrusion...and to add insult to injury the very bottom of the label tells us we are eating gmo...the fine print says "learn more at ask.general mills.com"...any of you who has the desire can go there...i do not especially care to be propagandized at the moment...maybe later
