Murderer!

I decided to bring my baby grass to work, today, to not only show it off, but also to see how it would look in my office. I left it in my back seat parking in the shade and cracking the windows so that there would be enough air. Later on during the day, a better space opened up and I moved my car into the sunlight. I didn't think it would get so hot.

The high today was in the 70s.

By the time I realized this, the grass had wilted a bit. I was horrified. Two of my co-worker's kids were in the office and I showed them my grass. The 8-year old boy, who is an avid reader and a bit dramatic, pointed at me and yelled in a deep voice, "MURDERER!" Duh, duh, duh!

I rushed to get some cold water from the cooler and sprinkled some on the wilted blades, and poured the rest in the soil. I placed it out in the waiting room where there is plenty of light with the hope that I will return to a plant that has forgiven me.

On another funny note... I was planning to make Guinisang Mungo (a filipino dish), tonight. I started soaking the beans in a bowl this morning. The beans were near the top of the bowl and I covered the beans with water. I knew that the beans would absorb the water and expand. When I got home today the bowl was heaping over onto the counter and the floor. Mental note: use bigger bowl next time.
