so what is that in US dollars?

Hi people not much has happened in the last few days. I made curried cashews, yum. i have read some more of my book "omnivores dilema" which i am trying desperately to finish. just working and making some yummy food over here, i found this great irish vegetarian cookbook, i was surprised considering how much of the irish food is, shite. so i really want to get a copy b4 i leave. i also purchased myself a plastic basin so i can give myself a pedicure and it was wonderful, some sea salt and pumice stone action. so my feet feel good and it has finally rained.

i don't think i have ever discussed the pendulum with you guys, while my boss Eamon purchased a pendulum(phonetic spelling) and you ask it yes or no questions hold it over food or your hand to see if you should eat it or what not. so i find this to be a bit on the poppy cock side so i tease him a little bit about it, he is alway s on a diet so this is the new diet scheme along with weight watchers. so dairy doesn't agree with him so he asked with a milk chocolate bar and a dairy free chocolate bar if he could eat it and it swung counterclockwise which means no for the milk choc. bar and clockwise for the non dairy bar. so i made him ask it if it was going to rain because it has been so wark here. and it said it was going to rain on thursday and it didn't! huh touche! so it finally did rain on saturday and then got beautiful for the afternoon, and it has cooled down so nice.

as far as the US dollars statement goes, a woman from the US came in asking for a face cream called Heather and she wasn't sure if it was the herb or if the face cream was called Heater, not helpful, so Eillen showed her the face cream by Dr. Haushka, which is very popular, and after the woman saw that it was 15 euro she said what is that in US dollars, isn't the euro like 2 times more then the euro? so i chimed in and said no it isn't that much for every euro you get about .70 cents from your US dollar. "so what is that in US dollars?" so i said you will drive yourself mad if you constantly try to figure money from dollars to euros. so the woman asked me about where i was from and that sort of jazz and then i sent her to a different health food store to bug someone else. i also had some sugar free chocolate today, it contained a plant sugar that actually good for your teeth, the chocolate was not so great, i will stick to my sugar chocolate thank you very much. also i tried some goji berrys, tasted like crap, the worst berry i have ever tasted in my life and they smell like a cross between the yellow hunza raisins we used at the coop to make raisin pine nut quiche and urine. so i will not be eating goji berries, no matter what their redeeming qualitites may be.

so i can't think of much else right now, another translations:
eggplant: aubergine, pretty isn't it?

i am going to go to the michel gondry film the science of sleep tomorrow, yipee! it should be weird and great.

xoxo,
christie

so the other irish food is shite, you had some berries that tasted like raisins and urine...um, be careful buddy, you're very close to becoming a (bleep) eater! Hehe. I kid I kid.

I'm glad the heat's broken by you, it's slackened here too. We had a huge thunderstorm and it helped take away some of the humidity. It was baaad the other day. Still a little muggy, but tolerable.

Time to row!
