Strangeness
May. 29th, 2004 11:41 pm1) Got stung by a bee my knuckle last week (very unpleasant). That whole "needle of fire" metaphor is not hyperbole. Anyway, strange thing was, after the first day, the swelling and itching all happened on the next knuckle down (base, rather than middle). There was still a little lump from the injection, but all the other reactions were one joint removed. I do not understand.
2) Had stroganoff Thursday night. For those unfamiliar, it has noodles. The noodles are medium-sized, ribbon-like and mildly wavy. Among these noodles, as I was eating, I discovered a piece of shell pasta. It had been a new, unopened, bag and the shell pasta wasn't some warped and deformed noodle; it even had the striations you find on shell pasta.
All puzzlement on cross-contamination aside, you don't think about different pasta types being manufactured side-by-side, do you? There's supposed to be a lasagna factory and a spaghetti factory and a fetunccine factory, not one factory making all three. At the very least, the production lines need to be in seperate buildings. It seems unnatural otherwise!
And finally (not so strange) when exactly did a new Mary Russell book come out, and why wasn't I informed? Ran into "The Game" at the library by complete serendipity. It looks quite enjoyable.
