Canadian Wild Rice

This is really a lovely type of grained food, providing health, fibre and, no doubt, a good number of vitamins (pronounced here, [vitt-a-mens]. If you say [vite-a-mens], certain people smirk.). But when a grain is stuck sideways in one's throat, it is quite less than healthful feeling. It also provides several days' worth of sustenance, which is rather a good thing when it takes 45-50 minutes to cook 250 grams of rice. It has a lovely taste and with fish and shrimp and vegetables, FABulous!

But I digress.

And here is another digression: Harrisen's photo site. It will be added to the side links (permission granted by Katie).

Things that have happened today:
My 8.00 am meeting did not happen.
Prepared for classes and seminars.
Coffi with Katharine at Shot in the Dark, where it was decided that she should not cheapen herself by taking a job selling cheap tat for shady Canadian company.
Thanksgiving plans are being made.
My green scarf wanted to stay at Shot in the Dark (coffee shop) for the afternoon. It did so, soaking up a copious amount of cigarette smoke. And it was still on it's chair when I returned three hours later! Now, how cool is that?
Phonology was discussed in lecture today.
It appears that I was supposed to make up my own sign-up sheet for my office hours.
This was done. (no wonder no one has signed up to see me...)
Keith Barber was roped into helping with the hanging of Diana's desk. He is terribly kind. This procedure will have to continue tomorrow.
Centenary IT helped recover a computer error. Somebody order those people a meat basket!
It rained on my laundry.
