musical vegetables, and the case of the disappearing salad dressing.

it always amazes me when i'm googling something and one of those little sidebar ads comes up from cafepress saying 'find _____ gifts here'. no matter how obscure an item i'm looking up, there somehow manages to be a tshirt for it. (that sometimes comes in handy*)

so today i was researching artichokes, and the ad came up about finding 100's of artichoke gifts. making my little disbelief noise, i decided to check out just how many artichoke t-shirts there could possibly be.

and the answer is, an awful lot.

and i kind of like some of them. although i'm slightly bitter about the name mozartichoke already being snatched up because how cute of a cartoon character would he have made?

while we're on the topic of green healthy food items, missy and i have gone salad crazy in the hopes of lessening our chances of being accidentally harpooned on the beach this summer.

to make our healthy lunches all the more tasteful, we invested in the 'salad mist' variety of salad dressing. this morning, as missy misted her salad we joyfully discussed how there is only 1 calorie per spray, and how we could have 10 whole sprays for one serving. and how her salad glistened!

fast-forward a few hours, and her salad was bare. and i misted my own salad about 20 minutes ago and wound up with a scant taste of dressing. sigh. we should've known it was just too good to be true.



*how else would missy have gotten an "i heart seahorses" shirt for her birthday last year?
