my biscuits exploded on the bus

June 21st, 2009 at 03:17 am

Okay, I'll give you time to stop laughing and wipe your eyes reading that title.

Sister gave me a couple of pounds of rhubarb to do with as I pleased. Since I can't compete with her on the pie front, I decided to make a rhubarb cobbler. I've done the biscuit making in the past but I felt pretty lazy, so true to my Midwestern roots (we are the cooks who have most fully explored the uses of cream of x soup), I went for the easy route - biscuits in a can. I bought the biscuits, put them in a bag, then went on the bus. The bus hit a number of bumps and BANG. The most impressive part was that it startled the guy sitting across from me as he was listening to his iPod, drumming to the beat.

I sometimes get comments on how my pictures - how do I get such funny shots? Let me tell you about the ones that got away! For instance today, I failed to bring my camera, and I missed:

1. An extremely lazy panhandler downtown. He was standing at the corner of Olive and 4th, clean shirt, shorts and sneakers, intently reading the newspaper, and holding his cap out. That's it. I thought it was a bit of performance art for the tourists.

2. A message sign over

Text is Hardwick's and Link is http://www.ehardwicks.com/about/history.html
Hardwick's that read, "Larry/Thanks for less than adequate service over the years."

Still might go back and get that one.

    Ouch regarding #2!

    Did you use the biscuits anyhow? I wonder what people thought it was when they exploded.

    How funny! Just imagine if you'd had a video camera to capture peoples reactions. LOL!

    Yep, I used the biscuits - the rhubarb cobbler was still delicious. I suspect that with #2, Larry is in on it... or there is no Larry. Big Grin

    It took me a minute, but it came to me that you were not tossing your biscuits! Funny!

    Oh, I'd RUN back for #2! That's too funny to pass up!

    Wipe my eyes? How about the soup that nearly got spewed on my keyboard? Wink
