Intensive farming

Having spent all of yesterday 'out', we didn't mind spending today 'in'. I had some jobs to get done, and the kids were happy enough to amuse themselves. Just in case they couldn't think of what to do, at breakfast I cunningly hinted that I was planning on throwing out all the farm toys since no-one has played with them for ages... That bought at least two quiet hours of dedicated farming make-believe.

The Man reports that he went to lunch at a popular chain restaurant. There was a new item on the menu: deep fried macaroni cheese. Instead he went for "cedar seared salmon caesar salad" (try ordering that with a lisp) which sounded healthier but...well, the USA produces 46 million tonnes of table salt a year, and half of it found its way on to this salad.
