Chieves, anyone?

Today I noticed that 99 Ranch (had to go today because of lab thing yesterday) misspell their vegetables. It's a little alarming, since I've always taken the English names that they present for vegetables that I grew up with as the correct name. Apparently not. Unless there's a very, very close relative of chives named "chieves" that I'm not aware of.

I now have a sudden urge to go and google the name of every vegetable label that I've seen there, especially when you get to weird names like chayote (click here if you're not sure what it looks like). Though I'm fairly confident with the names like daikon, and garlic, so maybe not every label.

I also had an urge for pineapple today. Then I took one look at the pineapples on the stand, all of them being, on average, roughly the size of my head, thought about how much work it'd be to dissect one, and lost my urge.

The tea urge continues though. It usually does.

I am now up to the part in my proposal where I'm describing the methods and wondering whether or not saying "I think there're things in the basement I can use to see that" would be considered unprofessional.
