chhotiiMost food things go through three distinct phases, in this order:
1) living thing
2) food
3) garbage sticking to your dirty dishes
with distinct and in this order being the important points here.
A mung bean in my household has decided to think outside the box on these points. I sprouted some mung beans this week for use in stir-fry. This morning I took them out of the sprouting jar to rinse off the seed coats, dry them off and store in the fridge. They were living things but when they came out of the jar they were food. One fell out into the sink onto a greasy frying pan, thus invoking the "once it hits dishwater it's garbage" rule. But hey, this mung beanie said, I'm not done with phase one yet, and it continued to grow in the sink all day today and now has, like, a five-inch long root.
(In case you're wondering, I have had a snack. I'm just a wee bit unhinged upon discovering new pornographic fridge magnet poetry on the fridge. I don't know who does it.)
