Good News from the North

Otis -

Well, I did read the label on the potato chip bag, and it said “sunflower oil.” I don’t think they make sunflower oil out of animals, but I guess our hair test will tell all. That’s not surprising that I’m more corn than you are — I eat more processed foods! Always have, but not as much this month. Although I do have this creepy sensation that corn is sneaking into my diet. Maybe while I’m asleep — I’ve been going to bed hungry enough that I probably wander around sleepwalking, eating corn out of the cupboards (polenta? baking soda? that box of corn starch? ) when I ought to be wandering the land of nod and counting corn-fed sheep.

Anyway, some good news: my neighbor in Maine called. He’s got 2.5 pounds of wild turkey breast (he shot it this spring) in the freezer with my name on it. Unless that turkey was snacking in the field of sweet corn down the road, it’ll be a corn-free Thursday.

Giving thanks for great neighbors and the woods of Maine,

Ian
