Very good dogs eat poulet

Posted on September 28, 02008 by Fremont

Sometimes two dogs, especially two poodles, swap notes in misbehaving. Or the same two poodles work out a new routine in waking someone (me) up. Or they learn a new song that they perform in sneezes and coughs to get … Continue reading →

Getting figgy with it

Posted on September 27, 02008 by Fremont

I’ve been up to something this week. It happens to include eating quite a lot of figs. No, I’m not exploring new or revisited options in bulimia. Actually, I can eat fruit for days and suffer no trouble in a … Continue reading →

Naval gazing Thursdays

Posted on September 25, 02008 by Fremont

Woolly forecast

Posted on September 23, 02008 by Fremont

I captured the little fella after nearly rolling over him with my horseless carriage. Yes, I am a mad swirver when avoiding critters, assorted vermin, even and especially long-legged rats on the road. I never fully recovered from when, during … Continue reading →

Gleaning or stealing?

Posted on September 21, 02008 by Fremont

I spotted an apple tree full of little apples. It stands unattended near the end of my Mum’s road. But I wondered for a day or two, is it okay to take some. They are just sitting there. Is the … Continue reading →

One good meal lakeside

Posted on September 20, 02008 by Fremont

The red night sailors delight was a bit misleading. The next day turned out to be grey, not rainy; the heavy atmosphere slowed everyone down.. Or were we still digesting from the moules and clams in the tastiest homemade moules … Continue reading →

Hindu beef

Posted on September 18, 02008 by Fremont

I’m only reluctantly returning to this post. I ate this meal at a Korean restaurant in midtown. It was a fine enough meal. Tasty. But it was disturbing for me. My dear sister-friend from India now eats beef. She had … Continue reading →

Red man

Posted on September 17, 02008 by Fremont

Riding on the 1 heading downtown yesterday afternoon, I watched this guy sip from a plastic bottle of red juice-like beverage. I also watched him eating a red-flecked twinkie-like cake from its cellophane wrapper. But I didn’t get the cell … Continue reading →

Hustle to Flow

Posted on September 16, 02008 by Fremont

There’s a new must-see environmental documentary, Flow, that opened this week. The trailer is available here: Watching just the trailer made me cringe. It’s the guilty conscience sort of cringe. Imagine how I’ll feel Thursday night walking out of the … Continue reading →

Decadent skewer

Posted on September 15, 02008 by Fremont

More truth. I am out of habit of tapping here, faithfully everyday. But thirty or sixty days will make a habit for me yet again. And at present, I’m focused on making a Monday through Friday classwork schedule. This is … Continue reading →

Keeping it honest

Posted on September 14, 02008 by Fremont

I know. It’s been a while since Daily Prandium’s been hidden from public view. After the trip to California back in May, I decided to take the pressure off of daily posting. For most of the summer, the posts went … Continue reading →

Junk foodways

Posted on September 12, 02008 by Fremont

I’d like to blame my roommate for working the power of suggestion over me. He does not cook. He orders takeout or goes out for every meal. Supposedly, he has a coffee maker. The kind that uses coffee pods or … Continue reading →

Hope and dash

Posted on September 10, 02008 by Fremont

A beautiful mosaic of a bleak, dying, wintry landscape on a lousy day. I felt like the broken bare tree towards the left. A word to the wise from one who was not until that day.. Don’t put your huevos … Continue reading →

I gleaned three more nasturtiums today

Posted on September 2, 02008 by Fremont

Watcha gonna do about it. It seems the more I eat, the more they grow back. Suppose I’ll keep snacking until someone catches me and does something about it. Bon nuit..

Quiet labor

Posted on September 1, 02008 by Fremont

I spent the weekend in town, namely because my car’s still at the body shop, and also because the new roommate moved in yesterday. So there was much to do and I’m still doing it at time of tapping this. … Continue reading →
