And Then There Were Photons

An electron, while trav’ling in space,

Met a positron there “face-to-face.”

The electron then sighed,

At the sight of his bride

And they “died” in a loving embrace.

From the Weird Weblogger Dream Department

It seems having dreams involving fellow webloggers is getting more and more common…

Garret:

“interesting dream last night. i had dinner in germany with andrea and andre in an outdoor cafe. very pleasant. seems i could speak fluent german. but i seem to have been wearing lederhosen and a large green cowboy hat. ah, well. that’s what dreams are for, i guess. nope; we weren’t eating freshly-caught squash …”

LOL! Come on over any time! I’d love to see you in Lederhosen and a cowoby hat. Oh, and do bring Sandra along!

Hunting

Today I went squash hunting. (See image below.) Squash are not as common in Germany as they are in the USA, and especially butternut squash are pretty rare. However, they’re also quite tame, so I was able to catch this one with my bare hands. I didn’t need a squash cat and a rifle like John does.

Tomorrow, we will use the squash for Pork Stew with Corn Bread Topping. The recipe says the stew has to be cooked in a Dutch oven. Since we don’t own one, do you think we can just cook it in a pot? Dutch ovens are not known in Germany, or at least I’ve never heard of one before.

Update: Al says that a Dutch oven is a pot with a lid. Yeah, we actually have one. Thanks Al!
