Julienne

I went grocery shopping this morning.  Seriously, if anyone ever needs a pick me up on Monday morning Fleetwood Mac's Monday Morning. You heard it here first.

Ha ha so distracted I just listened to that song and thought about the old days and then I am like  wait what am I doing?  Then went upstairs had a conversation with myself and here I am again, about fourteen hours later.

(E just peeked out of the playroom totally starkers except for her tuxedo socks. We made eye contact.)

So I went grocery shopping this morning and decided to get a couple of kitchen utensils that were on clearance.  Cause I walked in and they got me with their display of freshly cut veggie noodles and cauliflower rice and I thought hey I can do this at home and the kids will think they are eating RICE and it is actually BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

So I am all excited because sometimes when things look different they taste different and you know then all of a sudden I am Twiggy.  I decided I am going to be the healthiest eater on the planet and they have these little gadgets on clearance for slicing, paring, dicing, julienning, etc.  So I am like straight up, yes thank you and purchase three of them.

So I take these bitches home and take them for a spin around town, if you will.  The first one is awesomeballs and it shaves all my brussels sprouts into a lovely shavelings of shavings.  It's like coleslaw and salad and just wonderful. But then the second one is where it goes terribly wrong.  Its the Julienner.  No good.  I introduced it to an eggplant and things did not go well.  So of course I sliced off the tip of my left thumb.

But they were on CLEARANCE.
