Troll with an identity crisis?


I really don't think that trolls eat brains, but this one seems to be mistakening himself for a zombie. By the looks of his tummy, he has been eating quite a bit of something. Whatever he has been eating or thinks he is, he's not getting my brains.

I haven't been outside yet, but I'm thinking that at 38 degree it must feel downright balmy. I may go out later in the evening. Right now I'm watching more of the John Adams miniseries (I just started episode 5 and will have 2 left after that)and waiting for my soup to cook. I had planned on making lentil soup and had what I thought were all the ingredients for it, but alas, I did not have the lentils. The legumes that I had in my cupboard that I thought were lentils, turned out to be black eyed peas. Yes, I know the difference. I just did not remember correctly what I had stored in the cupboard. So, I am pretty much making the lentil soup recipe with black eyed peas substituted for the lentils. I think it tastes pretty good so far, but as it is in the slow cooker, it is slowly cooking and not anywhere near ready yet. Now I must go and continue watching. Beware of trolls!

I think I know that troll. He's been around a lot when I'm drinking wine...eating my brains.

I can't believe that it's 38 degrees there. Wow!

Hope the soup turns out for you.

The soup sounds great indeed and the troll is adorable. brains or not---he's cute and really, who needs brains when you've got cute going for ya?

Hope your soup was good and you got to enjoy the warm day yesterday---even if it meant having a warm apartment!
