Healthy Food Yum Yum

Worm mutton cottage fries made without oil, ants on chocolate toast,
Bread made of almonds, and healthy carrot-laden Robin egg soup.
Vegetarian sandwiches lavishly sprinkled with the most
Delightful new organic spinach that makes you rapidly poop.

All of these delightful-sounding greens and wholesome delights, that you so adore.
Do not make me or my family want to come back for any extra or more.
Yes, I know you have cheese-free pizza, and cake without flour.
But we like mashed potatoes, and dressing, not things that sound dour.

Next Wednesday you say, you are trying meatless, but tasty livers squash stew?
Come try it you say? It is tasty, already made and will be good for both me and you?
It sounds yummy and delightful, I will ask my husband and the rest of my crew.
Sorry. We are extremely busy; the bathroom a week ago ran out of shampoo.

:) Yum!! I mean Yucky. Hmm, it sounds like you are preparing something tasty indeed. Perhaps not! Either way, your thoughts bring a smile. This is cute. Healthy food, maybe to some. To the rest of us. No way!! :) Brandy

I can tell you for sure I am a junky for sweets, fried foods, and all the peppers and spices I am not supposed to eat.

haha. I too prefer the food I was raised on but for my health concerns i have begun eating much better, and that means adapting the old ways for the new. I still get my fries and onion rings in using a hot air fryer. My hubbie thinks they taste better than in oil!!

I had some house guests once who ate healthy, and used cloth diapers. Oh, my, it was awful!

Hi Caren, very funny, LOL! Our one son and his girlfriend are vegan whilst the other one and his wife are on a banting diet. Can't keep everyone happy! xoxo Jennifer.

Hahaha I did not know you were old enough to have GROWN UP children! This is shocking to me. You look 30 years old or younger in your photo.
