...most of my week has been plagued by a massive sinus-TMJ-eye headache.
When it got into day 3 and the extra-strength Excedrine was not even touching it, I went back to an old stand-by: cold diet Pepsi. I've been trying to kick my diet Pepsi habit, but sometimes I need that combination of sweet (or faux-sweet as the case maybe), syrupy and bubbles to really cut through the headache. Why it works, I have no idea. But it worked and I woke up this morning without my head splitting. Hooray!
Today's Eye Candy Friday is a combination of veggies and flowers. The Husband is growing a wide variety of peppers. This Spanish Spice Pepper is one of the biggest peppers I've ever seen. It's on a dinner plate, with a quarter used for scale.
This is an Anna Russian tomato sliced open. It is a very meaty and sweet tomato, perfect for salads. I think it would make some nice dried tomato slices, too.
This purple blossom is from an eggplant bush:
The Dahlias continue to bloom.
New to the garden this week is this purple fan flower. Love the shape on these little flowers!
Up this weekend: I need to finish the Westknits KAL shawl. The pictures need to be posted on 9/1 and I haven't finished clue 3 yet, much less clue #4! I also want to spin some more of the Bollywood samples. I should probably work on my weaving since I can't weave a Bollywood scarf until I finish the shawl that's on the loom. Guess I'll be busy this weekend!

caffeine in diet coke often knocks a headache out when tylenol or ibuprofen won't. one of those miracle drugs that, for some people, causes headaches, go figure.
I don't take Tylenol or ibuprophen for headaches because they are like taking nothing for me. I go right for the extra-strength Excedrine every time. When the Execedrine-level of caffeine doesn't work, then I hit the diet Pepsi!
