FOOD

i can't believe i haven't talked about food yet. i love food. it's so satisfyingly tasty. also cruel and treacherous. nothing beats a good meat and vegetable lasagna with red sauce. well except maybe an apple cider donut. or a well cooked steak. or possibly even high quality chocolate. mmmmmmmmmmm....... food is great. not only does it nourish the body but it also nourishes the soul. mediocre food fill the stomach but does not seem to satisfy. whereas exceptional food not only fills physically but also mentally and emotionally. you take a bite and savor it in your mouth for as long as possible as your body melts into it. that's where we get phrases like "mmmmmmm........" and "oh that's lovely" (ok so i stole that last from hitchhiker's guide) people who eat good food are happy people. that's why there are so many different foods. so everyone can have what they like best and be happy.
by the way i have to mention something my nephew said. well my brother and nephew and i were talking about food. particularly tomatoes and spinach. and my brother was saying that those things are really blah plain (i disagree) and he was saying that they were good in things like ketchup. and my nephew said spinach ketchup. and i said that's it! hey they've already made green ketchup. why not make the color natural with spinach. sounds good to me.

WHATEVER

school. let's face it. it's dull. i never liked school. i don't know why i go. i guess it is because of society. one can not earn a living without going to school. but you can't get a job without experience and you can't gain experience without a job. twisted society.
anyway. that topic's boring. let's talk about something else. what? i don't know. i don't care.
pizza. pizza's a good topic. mostly because i'm hungry. i like a think crust with extra sauce and cheese and lots of different toppings. yum yum. i like pizza anyway it comes though. i even like cheap frozen pizza. or pizza flavored things. like chips and pretzels and pasta and such. pasta. mmmmmm..... that makes me think of lasagna. now that is good stuff. dude i gotta go find something to eat before i drool all over this keyboard.

PUDDING

I do not like being sick. It is phooey. I have a sore throat and a runny nose. I think I would rather throw up. At least I would be over that quicker. So I have been trying to drink lots of water and (because we do not have real cough drops) I have been consuming large amounts of VitaminC drops. I have spent lots of time in the bathroom with the hot water steaming everything up. It clears the nose and soothes the throat. I have also been avoiding dairy because that complicates the nose problem. Until now. My brother Daniel is staying with us and he likes what he calls Daniel Food. Well yesterday he made six boxes of pudding. There are only three people here to eat it! And Bree but she does not eat very much. Well I was looking at all that pudding and decided that I did not want Daniel to eat it all so I ate some. I tell you what. Other than the steam from the shower nothing has made my throat feel better. It is so soothing. My throat feels wonderful when I eat it. I do not care what it does to my nose. I will take whatever relief I can get.

MARSHMALLOWS

marshmallows. they are so yummy. until you eat too many. then they are pukey. isn't it interesting how much we love and appreciate something until we have too much of it. then we can't stand it. for example... once upon a time i loved brownies. i would eat them any way they came. raw. half done. perfectly done. burnt. hot. cold. home-made. store-bought. it didn't matter. as long as it was a brownie. until... one christmas time... everyone makes brownies at christmas time. and with christmas spirit and goodwill they share with everyone they know. i got a ton of brownies that year. i enjoyed every one. except the last one. i got sick. to this day i can no longer eat a brownie without being seriously sick. too much. there are many things we buy or do or eat that we love until one time too many. then we can never tolerate it again. this is why moderation in all things is so important. moderate your marshmallows or you will be tasting them a second time and it won't be pleasant
