Last week we got some purple potatoes in our produce box. Would you be freaked out by them? What do you think would be neat to cook with purple potatoes?
Is it worth buying a salad spinner? We've been getting a lot of lettuce and greens in our produce box, but I always feel bad using up so many paper towels to dry them. I've also tried regular towels, but that's pretty annoying too.
I'm excited to write a paper for my American Literature class because I'm looking at translations of two different books that are written in a sort of hybrid-"Spanglish" style. I think it will be interesting to look at what happens when you translate them to Spanish. However, after looking at this book today, I realized that one of the more interesting changes is the profanity (it's a great book, but definitely heavy on the swears). Would you feel weird writing a paper on swear words? It's not like I'm going to be saying them out loud, but for some reason I feel weird even writing them out. I could just skip over that aspect of the book, but then I feel silly for being so squeamish.

Also, I think salad spinners are genius (even though I don't have one).
We've been talking about getting a spinner for years. Still haven't.
I think, actually, that would make for an interesting paper. And I dislike the swears as much as anyone.
(Just don't submit it to a symposium, eh?)
i love, love, love having a salad spinner. I have a small oxo brand one which has been very adequate for our needs. I bought my parents the large one for Christmas 2 years ago because they eat lots and lots of salad. They REALLY appreciated it. I like having the push button top rather than the crank top. The crank top is just more awkward and requires more effort.
Salad spinner--so worth it.
Profanity--don't like it, but it does seem that if you're doing a translation, it must be included for the sake of authenticity. Just my opinion.
