the promise of beauty
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
BEAUTIFUL! you sure have a knack for noticing things the rest of us don't even see....

ReplyDeleteKath; I'm glad you like it. The yellow rose is one of many along the roadside edge garden bed of Trinity Gardens Primary School.
Delightful, utterly delightful.

Aww these are sweet. I'm still waiting for my insurance claim and miss my camera like a limb but it's lovely to see everything green and bursting.
