Gathering Supplies

I spent yesterday gathering supplies for L, as M and K drove up to see her at the university today. I was trying to find her new pencil cases, but the back to school season is over and none of the good ones are left. Oh well. OK, she asked for some shot glasses and what else is a good mom to do but get some for her? A friend stopped by to drop off some supplies for his daughter who is at the same university. We're arranging to car pool with them for Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend, to bring the girls home. L had reserved a VIA rail train ticket, hopefully she can cancel it.

Heard at the mall recently, a conversation between two women in a clothing store:

"I have brown eyes and brown hair. If I wear brown clothes I basically look like a chocolate bar".

This article has a tip for baking cherry tomatoes:

Tomato tip. Even a few cherry tomato plants can produce an overabundance of tomatoes. Here's a simple way to prepare them as one of the vegetables at a meal: Put a dollop of olive oil in a baking dish, add cherry tomatoes to cover the dish bottom, and roll them around to coat with the oil. Sprinkle with salt, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 325 F.

There's a big difference between pencil cases and shot glasses :-)

I never thought to do that with cherry tomatoes. Thank you very much for that wonderful tip.

Good luck with the school supplies.
