Words that Work

Several titles came to mind such as Musings on White, The Wonders of White, Snow White, and I settled on Amusing on White~~A Musing on White as this post is a bit silly as I am choosing to judge it. Oh yes, Ms. Acceptance is being judgmental. This post is intended to amuse. Enjoy.

In preparation for huge snow predicted for Metro DC area where I live, I picked up a few items at the grocery store Thursday afternoon. Needed only milk—white.

Imagining being snowed in for at least 3 days (I am writing on day 3) as I have shoveled only enough of the 27+ inches to get out the front door (have 50 feet to go simply to get to the sidewalk and the beautiful white stuff is heavy and frozen), I wanted to make mashed potatoes, one of my favorite comfort foods. So, I bought a bag of Idaho potatoes—white.

I could have bought Yukon Gold, which I prefer. None were available as the pickings were already slim on Thursday. Snow did not start until 10AM Friday.

In Wednesday’s paper I read a recipe for curried cauliflower that appealed to me, so into my hand carry basket went a head of cauliflower—white.

Another comfort food made its way into my bright purple basket, a can of Progresso New England Clam Chowder—white

Remembering I was low on 3-hole lined paper and that I was scheduled for some teleclasses, I added the paper to my purchases—white (OK, there are blue lines and one red on each sheet).

Only upon checking out did I notice that everything I bought was white. Only upon putting away the items once home did I realize I had forgotten to get plain yogurt—white.

White was the view from every window Friday and yesterday. Snow white has been the color the past few days; gorgeous white, hugging trees and every other surface. I am surrounded by white.
