Nose to the Grindstone


Today was a beautiful day, and I saw very little of it. I was grading research papers all day. My head exploded at about 5:30 and I packed it in and went to Ken's for pizza. It gets to a point where you can no longer read any more papers or your eyes will start bleeding. I still have 8 papers to grade tomorrow and get everything tallied up. I'll get through it tomorrow. I'm hoping to get started really early so that I'll have the afternoon to myself. If I do get things done on time, I'll work on cleaning up the winter mess from my patio. With all the craziness with Ken's broken hip, I never did get my patio furniture put away this winter. They look like hell. I'll have to get them cleaned up.

The picture above is of a sweet potato in a Tater Baker. My folks got this thing from someone. What it does is bake a potato in the microwave as nicely as they bake in the oven, and they don't need to be pricked, which is especially nice with sweet potatoes because they leak a sticky syrup as they bake. And even if they do mess up the Tater Baker, you can throw it into the dishwasher. It works with all kinds of vegetables. I'd like to tell you where they got them, but I'm not sure.
