We have exceeded our celery quota by unpresidented numbers of sticks this year. Some people say The Landfill refrigimatator contains more celery than anyone has ever seen in Landfill refrigimatator history.
Setting: The Landfill (west side Planet Ann Arbor)
Characters: KW and TP
[TP rummages the refrigimatator.]
KW: WHAT are you doing?
TP: Looking for how much celery we have. I wanna make gumbo this weekend.
[Exit TP to walk to @PlumMarket to get gumbo ingredients.]
[KW peruses the refrigimatator and finds celery but she is not sure if there is enough celery for gumbo so she performs wild iPhone gyrations trying to contact TP to send him a pic of the celery, which was less than she thought and some of it a bit wilty. Of course, he has his earbuds in. Listening to Patriot Radio or 1960s acid rock or who knows what.]
TP: Luuuuuucy, I’m home (he really didn’t say that, just barged on in).
KW: Did you get celery?
TP: No, I didn’t need it.
KW: But aren’t you gonna make gumbo?
TP: I don’t need it for gumbo.
KW: [bangs head on quartz countertop]

I *was* gonna do the twitter play where FZ (over the wall from me) was apparently fighting with a bunch of papers and I *had* to ask him if he was ripping up a speech 🐽 but I think this play is a bit more politically correct, if that even matters any more. Make no mistake, I am NOT a Trump fan.
And yes, some of that celery looks a little I dunno, brownish? I think it won’t be long before the Landfill Chief Cook and Bottle Washer (meeee) will have to make an Executive Decision.

I love gumbo, but have never had it with celery in it. (to my knowledge) Mardi Gras must be coming up.
