accidental discovery

being unable to complete a task once i begin it, i always seem to leave freshly picked radishes out on the counter in my kitchen too long and they end up looking like wrinkly old men - then i toss ‘em out.

yesterday (saturday), i needed to rinse off some other stuff in the small, rarely used island sink in the kitchen when lo, there were the radishes that i picked on friday… they looked pretty bad, but instead of tossing them out, i left them there in the sink while i ran water for a few minutes to rinse off some cucumbers i had brought in to slice up. the leaves on the radishes stopped up the drain and allowed the water to stand for a while before it finally all drained out but when i came back about three hours later from the event i was slicing the cucmbers for, the radishes that had been left in the standing water looked as if they had just been brought in from the garden!

so i ate ‘em.
