Magic

In elementary school, our teachers dashed our hopes by telling us that mammals don't regenerate. If you chop off your arm, it won't grow back. If your face falls off, you can't get a new one. Total bummer. Things were looking more promising when they grew that ear on the mouse's back in the 90's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacanti_mouse  Still, I don't want to grow my new foot on a mouse's back, I want it to come back like a lizard's tail after it's been...playing...with Orbit. 

So, imagine my delight when I discovered kitchen regeneration! Ok, I didn't discover it. I'm sure everybody has known about this for a long time, but did you know that if you eat up a green onion and then stick the roots and the white part in a glass of water, that sucker will grow back???

Just a little water

See? New shoots! They grow so fast you can almost watch it happening. Why does anybody ever have to buy new onions? I haven't tasted the mutant offspring yet. Maybe they have a diluted flavor? Maybe they will impart their regenerative abilities onto me and my family???? 

This is probably not what people are looking for when they check my blog, but I don't always know what to write about. Amy and I pretty much do the same thing every day. 

This afternoon, Rob and I are going to the symphony. Maybe I'll have something to write about that. Then, there's always our upcoming trip to Georgia!
