The lemon oil? Yuck.

Ziva said…
Who has lemon oil at home?

nonamedufus said…
We do! I found it in the pantry.

I always buy grapefruits but forget to eat them.

My wife loves grapefruit. Me, not so much.

What does one do with lemon oil? Besides polish wood furniture?
4 October 2012 at 09:42
nonamedufus said…
I think it's used in cooking.I'll have to ask my magnificent chef, Mrs. D.

nonamedufus said…
I pucker up just looking at it.

A two-fer. Nicely done, Dufus. I'm such a non-foodie I had to read the comments to figure out what kind of citrus fruit that was. I figured out the oil just fine (thank gawd for labels).

It's actually a lemon. It just looks like a grapefruit.

very "on topic"! nice job!

Laughing Mom said…
I have lemon oil for furniture - it's great on old wood, but I've certainly never tasted it!

Cheryl said…
I thought it was a lemon but figured the others must know their fruit better than I do. That's the last time I rely on this group for information.

MikeWJ said…
We do, too! It's good for cooking. And polishing the piano.

MikeWJ said…
Okay, after looking at three photos of lemons (and lemon oil), that old Peter, Paul and Mary song popped into my head. Sing with me, NoName:

Lemon tree, very pretty
And the flower, oh so sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

(swelling orchestral arrangement)

Ziva said…
Oh fuck off, Mike, as if you'd ever polish anything other than.. well, you know.
4 October 2012 at 12:46
MikeWJ said…
Yeah, okay, you might be right. But not with lemon oil. It stings like hell, and you'd be VERY surprised to learn how much 11 solid inches (28 solid centimeters) of pain can ruin your day.
4 October 2012 at 12:56
Ziva said…
11 inches? Dream on.
4 October 2012 at 12:58
Margaret said…
You and I are BOTH lemons today, Dufus!

MikeWJ said…
Oops! I had the ruler backwards.

Sorry. I hope I didn't get anybody's hopes up. So to speak.

Carry on.

Lauren said…
You definitely made lemonade out of that shot.
4 October 2012 at 13:51
nonamedufus said…
The others know nothing about fruit apparently.
4 October 2012 at 14:34
nonamedufus said…
I think I have. I think Mrs D sneaks it into dishes she makes.
4 October 2012 at 14:36
nonamedufus said…
You're not reminded of Led Zeppelin's The Lemon Song?
4 October 2012 at 14:38
nonamedufus said…
I guess we're a couple of sour pusses.
4 October 2012 at 14:39
nonamedufus said…
Ha, ha. When life gives you lemons...
4 October 2012 at 14:39
Monique Renae said…
I use lemon chunks to keep my microwave and garbage disposal smelling lovely... I wonder if lemon oil would do the same trick.
4 October 2012 at 15:04
nonamedufus said…
Garbage disposal I get but microwave. How do you do that?
4 October 2012 at 15:20
Indigo Roth said…
Hey Dufus! I like this one. But is that a lemon? Looks more like a plum? I'm just asking. Indigo
4 October 2012 at 15:46
Monique Renae said…
Take a few chunks and put it in a bowl with a little bit of water. It becomes beautifully lemon scented steam which makes the microwave nice and fresh!
4 October 2012 at 16:09
nonamedufus said…
It is an odd looking lemon, isn't it.
4 October 2012 at 16:39
nonamedufus said…
Cool.You learn something every day.
4 October 2012 at 16:41
Paula Wooters said…
Lemon oil? I thought it was one of those little liquor bottles they give you on airlines. (I think I need new glasses.)
4 October 2012 at 16:43
nonamedufus said…
Piano, right. Hear that, Ziva?
4 October 2012 at 17:03
nonamedufus said…
I think you need some lotion.
4 October 2012 at 17:03
nonamedufus said…
I think you need a lot of lotion.
4 October 2012 at 17:04
nonamedufus said…
But 11 backwards is 11.
4 October 2012 at 17:06
Ziva said…
Oh, I hear it, dufus. You know what I also hear? The sound my whip makes when it connects with your backside.
4 October 2012 at 17:09
nonamedufus said…
Okay, just checking.
4 October 2012 at 17:25
Jamie Baker said…
Yep, straight up sour.
4 October 2012 at 17:28
ladyV said…
sour to the 2nd power.

Coco said…
It's a straight sour photo and pretty one!
4 October 2012 at 19:32
nonamedufus said…
Well, thank you.
4 October 2012 at 19:46
Junebug said…
I love the smell of lemon but not the taste of lemon.
5 October 2012 at 01:12
nonamedufus said…
I'm with you, Junebug.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
