c is for carrot

Last week was O week. I purchased 4 bags of onions, already sliced, from a discount food store in Mesa that sells excess food from restaurants. It was so easy to dehydrate them, just rinse, throw on the trays, and wait.

When I went back this week the onions were gone but they had 5 pound bags of sliced carrots for a dollar each.

Funny thing was as I was placing the carrot slices on the trays I was reminded of a game we used to have. I don't remember the name but it had round pieces that fit closely in low wooden box. One end of the box had a slide with a spring that would push against the disks. The object was to remove as many round pieces as possible without the spring snapping. I thought it was strange how I would not have thought about that game except for the action of placing carrots on the dehydrator.

I think you are right....I asked Uncle Wayne about it and he didn't remember it so I thought maybe it was a game I remembered from play at a friend's house.
