Tired of carping!
#223
In today's paper there was an article about using all the carp that has been invading a lake to feed the hungry. What a great idea instead of trying to get rid of / kill / toss all that fish. They said a chef came in and prepared the fish, that it was mild like Tilapia but did have a few large bones. People are turned off by the name 'carp'.
Other than that, No carping here. Just a glorious day in the high desert of CA.

By the way, the verb "carp" comes from Middle English carpen, which comes from Old Norse karpa, to boast. So many of our English words come from Old Norse - like "berserk," for example, which didn't even undergo any spelling changes.

Dear Froggy,
I agree with you. But on Friday, one of my friends gave me a quilt that she started some years ago, and got discouraged because it was going wrong. All it needs is binding! Now I think that is nice!
The guy who orders produce at the local Wall Mart gets globe artichokes for me and a few others.
So many nice people live here on the Texas coast.

Goldfish are a kind of carp....and in the 1930s or 40s, they had a craze where mostly kids swallowed them whole and alive!
