While my mind was drifting earlier during the news, I started thinking about English/Western surnames and how few are names of fruits or foods in general. I know there’s Lemon, Cherry, Strawberry, Berry, and Apple. I think “Grape” was purely fictional, so I didn’t count that one. Vegetables/plants gave us Bean, Rice, Sugar, Flowers, Rose, Fern, Bush, Chestnut, and Maple. The oceans and seas gave us Fish, Trout,, Salmon, and Crab(crabbe?Judges?). I know there’s Fishman, and that’s a curious one that likely came about as it was a person who fishes, but what about those in agriculture? We have the catch-all “Farmer”, but not those named for all the individual items they grew. interestingly, the name “Ham(or Hamm)” doesn’t have its origins related to food, but “Bacon” comes from butchers in the old-timely days. I wonder if Harvey Milk’s real name was actually “Milk”? surnames.behindthename.com/names/tag/foodI didn't know Kohl meant 'cabbage' in German.

I was kind of reluctant to go down that rabbit whole after my attention had wandered so far afield. I grew up with lots of German foods and whatnot with the large Pennsylvania Dutch community I was surrounded by, but not the language. Speaking of milk, I grew up with this garbage because it was cheap...bleecccchhh. Don’t think I’ve ever had that. I’ve never liked milk unless it’s flavored with Quik or cereal. I do like soy milk, though. I’m guessing powdered milk was ok to cook and bake with?

My mom tried that powered milk stuff with us too. Goddamn that stuff was disgusting. I think we got a bunch of it free from the state because we took in foster kids.

I wonder if that was the connection with us too. My parents took in 4 foster kids when I was little. Our Sanalac came in paper tubes about 1.5" in diameter by 10-12" long, and we had big bags full of them.

We also received those five pounds blocks of cheese, even though financially we didn't qualify for government surplus. I think our milk came in a box? My mom also worked for Head Start which is a federal program so that might be related.

This may surprise you, but I'd be more interested in the Eminem remix.

Random Thought : Why does this ladies vagina need sunglasses? I'm not so sure they're sunglasses. See how they appear just below the split hem in her outfit? I think that's a "Trinity Vibes" vaginal bead string.
