Embryo

So sometimes I'm not very good at using up all the food I buy.  My roommates make fun of me (strike 2 on the roommates- see "mooch" entry) because I have a lot of food go bad before I've used it and I have to throw it away. OR they get MAD when I stink things up (ex: rotten chicken smell=  combination fish, fart, and laundry - IF you try to cover the smell with air freshener.  Their anger is justified,  but Katie and I thought it was hilARious.)

Anyway the POINT of my story is that, due to my inefficient consumption capabilities, I came back from winter break and found that one of my onions had a small green spike-ish sprout protruding from one corner.  WOW- I did NOT KNOW that onions could do that.  I was intrigued and decided to let the sprout grow.  And much to my pleasure and delight my onion has sprouted 14 tough little green stalks. Isn't that COOL!? Every thing that sprout needs to grow is already inside it.  I haven't watered it or put in soil or ANYthing. no nurturement what so ever.  God is amazing.  I love him.
