I'll take the cute little bottle on the left.
nonamedufus said…
The lemon oil? Yuck.
Ziva said…
Who has lemon oil at home?
nonamedufus said…
We do! I found it in the pantry.
Pat Kumicich said…
I do - use it to polish my wood furniture
Katherine said…
Reaaly pretty picture... the shadow is especially nice!
nonamedufus said…
Well, there you go! Ziva doesn't clean as you can tell by her picture today.
mike said…
I always buy grapefruits but forget to eat them.
nonamedufus said…
My wife loves grapefruit. Me, not so much.
Nicky said…
What does one do with lemon oil? Besides polish wood furniture?
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.
Cheryl said…
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).
nonamedufus said…
It's actually a lemon. It just looks like a grapefruit.
Barb said…
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.
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.
Ziva said…
11 inches? Dream on.
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.
nonamedufus said…
The others know nothing about fruit apparently.
nonamedufus said…
I think I have. I think Mrs D sneaks it into dishes she makes.
nonamedufus said…
You're not reminded of Led Zeppelin's The Lemon Song?
nonamedufus said…
I guess we're a couple of sour pusses.
nonamedufus said…
Ha, ha. When life gives you lemons...
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.
nonamedufus said…
Garbage disposal I get but microwave. How do you do that?
Indigo Roth said…
Hey Dufus! I like this one. But is that a lemon? Looks more like a plum? I'm just asking. Indigo
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!
nonamedufus said…
It is an odd looking lemon, isn't it.
nonamedufus said…
Cool.You learn something every day.
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.)
nonamedufus said…
Piano, right. Hear that, Ziva?
nonamedufus said…
I think you need some lotion.
nonamedufus said…
I think you need a lot of lotion.
nonamedufus said…
But 11 backwards is 11.
Ziva said…
Oh, I hear it, dufus. You know what I also hear? The sound my whip makes when it connects with your backside.
nonamedufus said…
Okay, just checking.
Jamie Baker said…
Yep, straight up sour.
ladyV said…
sour to the 2nd power.
Coco said…
It's a straight sour photo and pretty one!
nonamedufus said…
Well, thank you.
Junebug said…
I love the smell of lemon but not the taste of lemon.
nonamedufus said…
I'm with you, Junebug.

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! ...

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...
