Radish pickles were, in general, a success. I think I would ideally like them a little sweeter, but they have a very nice taste and a very pleasant crunch and are bright pink. So that's exciting. I put some in my lunch today, along with some pumpkin pickles, and they were delicious in combination. Tomorrow, I will try them on a sandwich.

Since today is Tuesday and thus a two-meals-at-work day, I went to the grocery store to buy dinner and stopped in the bulk section to look at dried fruit, because I was out of apricots. And they had new things, so I had to try them. They had dried pluots and dried apples with cinnamon. The pluots were, alas, much too sour for my taste, but I only spent 36 cents on them, so I don't feel bad about not eating them. The apples, on the other hand, are amazing. I mean, dried apples are pretty good on their own, but these are like eating apple pie filling except less messy, more portable, and I can pretend that I'm eating healthy things. Seriously, this is my best dried fruit discovery since the dried cantaloupe.

Today, thus far, is being a very good food day.

Best library question of the day (fortunately, my coworker was asked and not me):

A small child comes up to the desk with a book open in her hands. She lays it on the desk. "Cay you help me with something?"

My coworker's working on something and doesn't look at the book. "Sure, honey. What can I do for you?"

"Can you help me find Waldo in this picture?"
