Mmmmm, Lemons

I really enjoy lemons. It’s one of the grief’s of my life that I have never wound up living in a place where citrus can grow outside. That would be just lovely, I think. Imagine how they would smell! I enjoy lemons most of all the citruses, I think. I am one of those people who can eat them raw, and I do enjoy them in that fashion. I also like large lemon slices fried with lentils or beans, a bit of an add on to a Middle Eastern kind of meal (recipe forthcoming).

Clyde Makes the Effort…

…and talks about himself in the ‘third clyde’. I do that sometimes, because the world where I reach out and Make the Effort is a very long distance- and much emotional, physiological and intellectual paraphernalia-donning- away from Life for Me. Guising is a Scottish term, which North Americans know as Trick or Treating. It is more specifically, putting on a costume, a mask, a covering, that obscures your clan, your identity, and your nature, so that you might have access to enter the homes and domains of others- for whatever purpose. This is what introverts do, each time they steel … Continue reading Clyde Makes the Effort…
