Triumph!!!
Jan. 29th, 2008 01:27 pmI am supposed to be packing. I am packing. Really. I'm using my parents' computer because mine is shut down and due to be packed.
But something WONDERFUL has happened.
I found it!
Isn't that great?
Erm, backstory. While I was in England I became good friend with a wonderful artist who painted me a lovely little painting of a fairy. It's this beautiful little watercolor. I took it with me back to America. And I thought I took it to my college dorm room. But then I moved ino to RIT for grad school, I couldn't find it.
I have packed, moved, and unpacked so many times since returning from England. I knew I wouldn't have thrown it out. It's precious. But I couldn't FIND it. I had been hoping that once I got all my belongings in one place in New York after this move that it would turn up.
And today I went through the contents of my nightstand to pack... and there it was, along with a few other relics form my days in England. It never left Maine!
I finally found your gift,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pelelandra! I'll have it framed once I get paid.
For those interested, it is here: http://www.elfwood.com/art/n/n/nnatalia/varda.jpg.html
In other news, I also unearthed some Branston Sandwich Pickle. I think I intended to surprise my family with it (it's so yummy) but I forgot to. Hrm. Best Before FEB 2003. It's pickled vegetables. It's got tons of vinegar in it. It must be still good. I think I'll risk it.
Ingredients:
Vegetables in variable proportion (Carrots, Cauliflower, Gherkins, Marrows, Onions, Rutabaga, Tomatoes), Sugar, Vinegar, Dates, Salt, Apple, Modified Startch, Lemon Juice, Colour, Spices, Garlic Extract
See? Two acids in there, plus salt. Must be still good. It will make wonderful lunches on bagels with extra sharp cheddar. Your cheeks hurt eating it because your mouth is trying to implode. Mmmmmmmmm, tangy!
