Teavana, inappropriate experience buying pizza at Whole Foods

/

Y'all, I had a very educational tea experience today at Teavana. A young woman asked if I wanted to taste some tea- I really did so took her up on the offer. Turns out she seemed to know everything(!) about tea. Did you know white tea is hydrating? I did not know any tea could be hydrating. The teas she had were gorgeous- fruits and leaves bursting with color and scent. I'm not much of a tea gal beyond the random mug before bed sometimes, but I'm gonna tell you that I felt inspired, and truly, these teas were good. So, I got some hydrating Youthberry. Delish, and the whole experience was quite interesting. The boys and I then went to the market and I let them get pizza for dinner; while waiting for the guy to box it up, he turned around and I saw FULL-ON BUTT/CRACK. This is TOTALLY not OK anywhere really, but especially at a Whole Foods or other grocery. BLECH!!!!

Oliver is crawling around on the floor with his head down, as if he's a head mop. It's very weird, and if I weren't certain that he were actually quite bright, I think I'd be alarmed.

Ooh...Curried Radish Fritters with Raita, does not offset psychotic children

Y'all, if the babysitter does not arrive two minutes ago, I'm going to jump out of the nearest window. Jack is dressed as a policeman still, is filthy, and is antagonizing the bejesus out of Oliver, who is apoplectic because I don't want Jack's books-on-tape CDs on my night table. This is all, of course, happening two inches from my ear.I am attempting to disassociate by reading this recipe VERY carefully. How fab does this sound??

You grate radishes, add curry powder, goat cheese, onion, garlic, parsley and eggs. Scoop batter into small patties and fry until golden. Serve with a radish-cucumber Raita. I want to eat this!

This is from Vitaly Paley of Iron-Chef and Portland restaurant fame. Lemme know if you'd like me to post the recipe.
