Plans: ????
Ing-Frô , you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and
certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.
That which is offered, freedom, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.
Interpretation: The female/male polarity. Growth (Berkana) leading to freedom (Os).
Outcome: It’s a chilly morning, beyond cool, enough for a winter jacket and gloves. Toby was a very good boy on his one-mile walk.
LOTS going online this morning
Sliced green tomatoes for frying later
I’m not sure about pickling recipe for green tomatoes. I didn’t give it a thought, but it might be too rich with garlic. Only time will tell.
I think the vinegar/onion mixture for the tomato ends will be doable. I just hated throwing out the tomato ends once cut for the slicing/frying. Utilizing them this way it totally an experiment. Well, hel, this WHOLE green tomato thing is an experiment, which might very well be largely successful.

Overdosed on grapes and paid the price for it. UGH!
I spent quite a bit of time preparing the green tomatoes for pickling, vinegar/onion and frying. I may change the pickling to vinegar/onions tomorrow. In the instructions, they say to discard the tomato ends. I figured it would be good to utilize them with vinegar and onions. It went well. The frying of the greenies was quite a process. Everything turned out well. Even fried, they’re pretty tangy. So, the afternoon was spent pickling 7 jars of tomatoes, making a batch of vinegar/onion tomatoes, and frying a batch.
Okay, I can see Berkana and Os right here. Spending quite a bit of time in the kitchen (Berkana), being able to talk about it freely (Os) is quite liberating (Os). I suppose there might be some who say spending so much time in the kitchen is the feminine (Berkana) thing to do. That’s fine. I still have no problems with my masculinity (Os). Additionally, as a single parent I have to be both Mother (Berkana) and Father (Os) to my furry babies. I fully embrace the female/male (Berkana/Os) polarity within me. After all, I’ve read somewhere that we are all but a single chromosome from being the opposite gender. Further, I totally embrace the balanced nature of my faith; that is, balancing it with both goddess (Berkana) and god (Os) expressions. Expressing faith as balanced in this way is very satisfying.
LOL...Sometimes I amaze me!
Ing-Fro, Frouwa and Nirdu; it's a totally Vanic day!
