  • My crockpot pretty much always has some chicken soup. Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, celery, and chicken breast. I eat this a lot for lunch, especially at work in a to go container.

    I also eat a smoothie pretty much every day, which I call my fruit soup. Fresh apples and bananas, some frozen fruit usually berries mangoes or peaches, fresh greens either spinach or kale, honey, mushroom blend powder, beetroot powder, turmeric powder, vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powder, Greek style yogurt, and probiotic kefir. I make a blenderfull and fill three or four shaker bottles, they last as long as I dont skip days.

    I dont always eat breakfast but usually oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar or cold cereal. Sometimes just a banana or a muffin.

    Sandwiches, I always have bread and meat and cheese and mustard and mayo and almond butter and jelly. And lately frozen sausage patties, sometimes for breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I just eat sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, unwiches.

    Sheperds pie casserole. I always have a box or two of instant potato flakes, some canned veggies, and frozen beef. Layer of potatoes, browned meat, canned veggies (I like corn green beans and saurkraut) and sometimes cheese, then another layer of potato, throw it in the oven. I buy plain potato flakes and season them myself. It’s all non perishable and quick, easy and hearty.

    This and a variety of burritos from the place near my work (when my boss is buying) is probably 90% of what I eat.








  • The Tom Bombadil stories were separate from Middle Earth when Tolkien wrote them. Tom is just a cameo from Tolkiens other works. He’s a minor character put there because Tolkien liked him and thought he fit. For the sake of the story any elf could have done, Tolkien could have wrote in any major character or made up a new minor one. He chose Bombadil because he didn’t have a use anymore in his own, older stories and Tolkien wanted him to live on happily ever after in Middle Earth. Tom was first, those stories came first, he is Eldest, conceived before the first acorn of Middle Earth, before the trees and lamps. He lived on past the death of his own universe and settled in Middle Earth. That’s why is not affected by the laws of Middle Earth, his ways are older and stranger. Goldberry is a Maiar who knows all this.









  • I have a crowbar that I named Art. I like to compare my crowbar to a piece of art, it’s a masterpiece of engineering. So many uses for the humble crowbar, such a simple and powerful piece of equipment. I love the way it feels in my hand, I love the way I can stash it anywhere easily and keep it handy and secret. The Crowbar is Art, and I study the Art of the Crowbar.



  • But have some special needs most people don’t know of! They are native to Virginia, they are not tropical plants. Therefore part of their life cycle is a yearly dormancy period due to snow. Put your venus flytrap OUTSIDE in the winter folks! Also I’m told you should only use distilled water. And don’t touch the mouths and cause them to close without feeding.
