Let me just interrupt my dinner of fava beans

and chianti to reply.  What's happening in the market is called a hiccup.  It will jump a little, drop a little, and bounce around.  It does that when a president has a colonoscopy or gets a mole removed. 

I would not start singing Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead quite yet (am I mixing movie metaphors?) because I think the overall trend will be gradually down over the long term.  Let's see what a 6-month average has been in, say, September?  (Now might be a really good time to divest....just sayin')

Not so easy to find.  May have to go to one of those boutique groceries, a Fresh Market, Whole Foods, etc.  Grow in giant pods.   I had a neighbor who grew them because her husband loved them.  If you find a way to make them palatable, lemme know.  As I said, big lima bean shaped beans, kind of squishy texture and a bitter taste.  Nasty is the only impression I carry over the years.  Oh, and for some reason, African blacks and people with Mediterranian ancestry can lack a digestive enzyme and that makes them very allergic to favas (it's called 'favism').  Go figure. 

Yep, that's me.  TMI (too much information). Yeah, I know, this belongs on the gab board.  I promise we'll quit about the beans now, all you who are outraged by trivia here.

We lived on soup given to us by a neighbor for 6 months. In return, hubby worked around the place for him (they were in their 70s). We would get a gallon of soup every other day. I must say, I did lose weight then.   Kids came first, then hubby, then me for the soup. I never want to be in that position again, but it looks like it may come to that. Thank heavens, I've been stocking up a bit. I'm no where near where I'd like to be food-wise, but better off than I was in the 80s when there was NOTHING.

alcoholism and drug addition is nothing like religious fanaticism and/or religious extremism.....and/or genocide in Darfur and/or Kenya

he went to see Odinga not a month ago to try and broker peace there......and after he left Kenya, the genocide continued and continues thru now....

sand....head....ostrich.......

Did anyone else see this?  Thank you Colbert, I am now a fan.
