Man, I'm gone for barely a day and you guys chat up a storm!
In order to catch up on what I've read thus far, here's my input:
Superstitions: none to speak of
Root vegetable dish ingredients: carrots, potatoes, parsnips (yep, parsnips), onions, all tossed with extra virgin olive oil, garlic gloves and a bit of rosemary and oregano. Layer the top with sliced tomatoes and zuchini strips. Sprinkle mixture of bread crumbs and freshly grated parmesan. Bake and serve. Easy!
Saint Pat's Day: I'm half Scottish and Irish and not wearing any green. Rather, black shoes, black slacks, charcoal grey turtleneck and black glasses. Uber trendy today. Was in a mood when getting dressed this a.m.
Snow: it sucks
Last night's food rescue: we collected about 9 tons of food in just under 2 and half hours. Woo hoo! We have more food to load today, about another 4 tons.
