A couple of days before the library where I work closed due to the pandemic, I spotted a book waiting to be reshelved:
Oh, hey. That looked useful. I should learn more survival skills, I decided. So I checked the book out to myself and brought it home. And look what I accomplished with some green onions.
I successfully regrew approximately ten calories and forty cents worth of food! They will go in soup tomorrow.
I live in Missouri with one husband, a variety of pets and two food critics. I love writing, reading and making lists. I've written poetry since I was seven. A few years ago I branched out into short fiction and memoir pieces. I'm currently working on a novel. My day job takes place at a public library. In the present, I'm fortunate enough to spend part of my working day writing blog posts and occasional newspaper articles for my employer. It's a happy life, getting paid to do what I love.

This is soooo cool! I saw a video with all kinds of veggies to regrow and wanted to try it. That must have felt gratifying to see. 🙂

I wasn’t really confident I’d get results, but I did. And it wasn’t difficult.
