I Am a Food Connoisseur

Warm buttery flakey croissants with almond filling, Homemade sugar-laden donuts, hot out of the frying vat, German chocolate cake with loads of scrumptious sweet coconut, Sweetened graham cracker crust key lime pie with a sprig garnish, Peanut butter cookies, oozing with chocolate morsels, Grandma’s sugar mints, in pinks and greens, pretty enough for a wedding, Delicious apple cobbler, crisscrossed with cinnamon and sugar crust, I salivate my feelings toward these favorite foods. You may keep your vegetables and your fruits, your seafood and your chicken. The only vegetable I want is mashed potatoes, and please do not ruin it with garlic. Instead, stir it into a giant vat of butter, so much you have to re-heat it. Your beef can wander down by the barn and sit on a stump for all I care. Unless I am in the mood to make my famous meatloaf with the diabetic-coma-brown-sugar topping. It will knock me out in seconds, and I am re-thinking the vegetables. I would like a big cob of Iowa sweet corn that has been bathing in butter for a week. With so much salt and pepper, most people would turn their noses up. I am a food connoisseur; can you tell?

G'day Caren … the medical profession must love you Caren through spreading the word of such delicious, mouth watering tucker that can't be refused. Sweets before meats must be your motto - thank you Caren - Lindsay

Sweets in place of a meal is my motto, Lindsay. I have made it my mantra to have 7 cookies each morning as I might die sometime during the day. I am older now, and I do not want to not have these 7 cookies.

I love mashed potatoes and corn, for me they ARE the right ones.
