Oh If I had Time

I would write these posts:

  • Review of The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, by Lucette Lagnado, a fine, moving, fascinating book
  • Review of Isaac’s Torah, by Angel Wagenstein
  • Millet Pilaf recipe or my nickname for it, millaf
  • About braces? And kids?

I have had time to putter in the garden, and so our family has enjoyed salad with nasturtium and nasturtium flowers.

If you had written these posts, I am convinced we'd love to read them. Meanwhile we enjoy your lovely flower!

Thank you! Maybe I will be able to write one over the weekend...July 5th is a holiday, since July 4th is on Sunday.

What Amazon readers say about The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit is very enticing.

The name Nasturtium is derived from Latin:
nas = nose
turtium = twister

Oh, and, just sit down, begin writing, and it will eventually flow. If you think too hard about it, that is when you will run into trouble.

I enjoyed The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, and remember writing my review of it, not wanting to leave out this or that, but then realized if I put everything in the review, it would be a novella of its own.

I wrote the review yesterday on pads of paper - I had a lot to say. Maybe I'll take out some time this long weekend to write it up for the blog.

It such a pretty blossom! Do you add the flowers to your salads or just the leaves?

Oh, definitely the flowers. The flowers are a bit sweeter than the leaves. The leaves are round and give a tangy taste to the salad.
