Notes About The Poem

A Colorful Cartoon of a Hungry Man Staring Into an Empty ...

- Empty Fridge - Shopping List -

Two days ago I filled up my fridge ... now it is empty - I was expecting visit of my cousin, her husband and seven hungry children
From fairness, is food the only thing that makes life worth living?
No one has a genetic defect that causes the body to make fat out of the air ...

Refill my fridge :
One liter of milk
Two cartons of juice
(the one with apples, orange and carrots)
Butter for bread
and butter for baking
Strawberry jam (without sugar)
White cheese, low fat
Brown cheese ... I must have the mild variety
Six yogurt, with different flavors
Eggs
Vegetables: Broccoli - (rich in iron) - Carrots - (contains beta carotene)
Onions - (reduces cholesterol levels, in the blood)
Some paprika/ red, yellow, orange and green (lots of vitamin C)
... and potatoes
Pure ham, chicken or turkey slices
Lots of fruit
Sardines on box
Salmon
Tomatoes ... (antioxidants)
One cucumber ... smells so delicious
- - don't forget the bread ... hot and freshly baked ... jummy

(Sorry, there is no Coca-Cola or chocolate in my fridge)

Am flying to Norway! And right! No body makes fat out of air. The fork to the mouth, too often does make us human balloons! Maybe a fictional poem, but either way, I love it, Panagiota

Sunshine, what IS brown cheese? I am truly wondering if I have ever SEEN brown cheese. Do you make it yourself? It sounds like you eat a healthy healthy diet. I love the list poem. And this one is nice.
