When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present, I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.--Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 13:11-12

Drinking lunch

Another example of me waking up screaming from my own awesomity is I've already lost control of this paragraph. Bother.

Back in retail, with the 30-minute meal-break (as if!), I've not been finishing the conventional PB&J brown-bag - then leaving work ready to eat my own hand! Great start to a stoopit end-of-day, right? The alternative has been, like, scary genius, which is the most-bestest kind.

GLASS JAR with METAL LID (plastic is tired)
palmful of RAW OAT FLAKES
wad of NUT BUTTER
spoon of COCOA (non-dutched)
spoon of CREAMED COCONUT
as much BANANA which can be accommodated
top-off of WHOLE MILK

That's the full cast: the oats need to be soaked in the milk overnight, but besides that I think the rest can safely be abandoned to whim: blackberries, cherries, raisins, apple butter, Christmas candy.... Experiments with proportions results in variations of color and consistency that attracts the attention of coworkers - but no-one dares to get close to it. I've given the day's components several times and there still haven't been any volunteers to run off with it. (Yes, I have to work with fridge-raiders.)

And in ten minutes, I've downed the entire jar and am satisfied. Wow, it really is the little things.

Thouroughly grateful yesterday for the shredded-coconut-and-prune thing. Graham crackers instead of oats suggests pie if put in directly before consumption. *Pray for the large quantity of people who don't have food to eat, much less play with.* If we stop being stupid, there will be food for everybody!

Pro quibus omnibus laudes referre non sufficio.

Digneris me carnem domare;
conscientem expurare;
sanctos honorare;
te digne laudare;
in bono proficiere;
et bonos actus fine sacto terminare.
Amen.--Thomas Aquinas
