Mark Peterson November 16, 2014 at 10:34 PM A day will come that I eat my last chocolate. I had deadly, flaky biscuits tonight. If such things cause my death, it will all have been worthwhile. Sure wish I could sleep on my stomach again, but the back won't allow. Thanks for the brief walk down this lane.

Regina Mcintosh November 16, 2014 at 2:22 PM I love junk food, but I love kimchi, too. It's awesome. Wonderful poem. Congratulations.. and God bless you,.

Monterey Sirak November 16, 2014 at 6:29 AM I'll take the junk foods. What is bad for us is always more appealing.

Jennifer Walker November 14, 2014 at 7:35 AM I agree, most health food is boring and that junk food is so much more appealing to me. Well written to the point poem.

Richard Lamoureux November 13, 2014 at 10:40 PM Chocolate and chips are both weaknesses for me. I enjoyed your poem.

Ken Carroll November 12, 2014 at 11:30 PM Creative culinary write Andrea!

Timothy Hicks November 12, 2014 at 11:29 PM I'm a lover of all foods myself - grilled asparagus and a can of V8 juice seems just as appealing as a grease burger with some french fries. But that's just me! Kimchi, however - I'm not sure about that stuff. I tried it and couldn't take it... my opinion on it might change if I had it WITH something, instead of by itself.
