Working with Paper and Finding Food

livingdebToday I went to a party where I got to help put together a paper model of a tower. I learned that a cork-backed metal ruler is better than what I'm used to using as a straightedge to cut. You can see the line you're aiming for better than with a regular ruler, and the cork backing keeps the ruler from slipping.
The scissors I brought were generally not the cutting tool of choice since the pieces were so small and irregular. Most people were using a craft knife on a cutting mat, which I have seen before.
It really is amazing how good (and solid) things made of paper can be. It was thick paper printed to look like stone and brickwork with ivy, etc.

Before the party I learned that the Target near me now has added more cases of refrigerated and frozen foods. Organic milk, the main thing for which I make emergency grocery runs, is now available there. So are Morningstar Farms meat-flavored non-meats and hormone-free nitrite free lunch meat. So that's cool.
