The Silly Surgery Kit

I know it’s a little way past the gift giving season but I thought I’d share this kooky toy I found whilst out holiday shopping. I found the kit at a Big Lots (discount store) in Colorado. I love the items you retrieve from the ‘cadaver’: dog bones, donuts (?),  various organs. Gives new meaning to ‘playing doctor‘ because it’s way more lucrative for your kid, everyone knows surgeons make more.

Stroll to Greenpoint, Brooklyn

-1

It wasn’t as cold as it has been over the last few weeks so I took a walk over to Greenpoint today to mail a few letters and shop for soup ingredients. I am making a potato-cauliflower soup tonight and I needed to pick up the cauliflower and garlic but ended up also getting chives and an extra bag of potatoes.

It was a  good walk. On the way I passed: a house that looks like it could have been home to Norman Bates, some groovy street art and a little delivery truck with a mustache drawn on it’s back.

Groovy street art aside I actually didn’t intend on going to Greenpoint today. I needed to mail a couple letters and it was the nearest post office to me.
