35,015 words written, 14,985 to go.
Chugging along, keeping to my 2,500 words a day limit. I have a house guest and other interstate visitors this weekend, so I'm not going to do a lot of writing. At the rate I'm going, I should be finished by the middle of next week. Fingers crossed.
And just for MrsBastage:
Gather some earthworms from the garden and put them in a container full of oatmeal moistened to have the consistency of dirt. Let them eat their way through it for a day or so. Earthworms are conveniently self-stuffing. It also gets the dirt out of their digestive tracts.
Once they are nice and stuffed with oatmeal, throw them in a fry pan with a little hot oil and fry until crunchy. Use them as you would bacon bits.
How do I know this? My class read the book in primary (elementary) school. Our teachers came up with the recipe and we ate them in an omelette. To this day, I wish I had kept the article and photograph that appeared in the local paper.
Mmmm, crunchy earthworms...
Hearty congrats on the writing!
well, i look forward to oneday reading a tome or two written of your hand, but please remind me never to accept a meal cooked thereof (note to self: ***especially beware the bacon bits!****)
