Let Them Eat Cake

Do we see and hear when people are hurting?


Do we pay attention or look away?


Do we even care?


Do we do anything about it?


As queen Marie-Antoinette said when told that her people were starving and had no bread, what did she say? 


Let them eat cake!  

 

Pray that we are better than that.  😉

Beautiful Cookware

Thought this was beautiful cookware at the Amazon 4-Star Store.


BTW, can’t believe Amazon is now getting into bricks and mortar too!


These enameled cast iron dutch oven pots are colorful and useful. 


In a way, they are too good-looking to use.  


Maybe just put them on the stovetop and let them look pretty. 


There is always the microwave for the real food. 😉

It’s Good To Know What You’re Eating

Who knew what all these parts of the cow were called when we’re in the butcher shop or supermarket?

Rump

Chuck

Shank

Prime Rib

Short Rib

Rib Eye

Tenderloin

Sirloin

I guess we don’t waste much in a dog eat dog world!

The poor cow is tasty to eat, but what did she do to any of us? 😉

Wow, Good Enough To Eat

Wow, the chocolate and poppy pastry rolls look pretty awesome. 


Salivating to take a serious bite. 


But don’t advise for that before taking a drug test.


I heard the poppy seeds may give a false positive.  😉

Controversy, Yet Agreement

In these great times of strife and controversy in this country…

One thing that we can probably all agree on:

Make Falafel Not War

Words to live by.

And to eat by.  😉

Great Veggie Heaven

Great little Chinese vegetarian/vegan restaurant in New Jersey. 


My sister took us there a couple of years ago.

 

Hopefully, I didn’t forget to say thank you. 


Never forgot the yummy food there (and of course, the good family company). 


Good descriptive name and eats at Veggie Heaven!  😉

Bowl Set Adorable

Wow, what an adorable bowl set. 


Eat bowl has a part of the lady on it. 


Stack them up and you see her in her red dress and blue hair. 


Put them up in the wrong order and she may end up all messed up. 


Either way the food will taste the same.  😉

Bacteria Vs. Virus–The Cure!

There is an old adage that:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Both bacteria and viruses are enemies of people in that they often make us sick. 

If they can make us sick, why can’t they be used to fight and make each other sick (i.e. destroy each other). 

Thus, bacteria can be our friend, if we use them to destroy viruses, like Coronavirus. 

Why can’t we create a “virus-eating bacteria” (and vice versa “bacteria-eating virus”) to destroy these little monsters that are infecting and killing us?

Let our enemies kill each other!  😉

Buy Right From The Start

This was a funny sign in an eatery:

Our tasting panel samples each item before we buy it.


And the picture is of the guy  ready to dig into the food. 


There was another saying that I heard that I liked:

If you buy on price, you buy twice. 


In other words, never just buy the lowest price item if you don’t really like it, because in the end, you’ll end up having to buy a replacement for the cheapo, crappo thing you really didn’t like to begin with. 


Better to save up and get what you really want to begin with. 


A savvy shopper, indeed. 😉

Life In The Times of Coronavirus

I heard my daughter laughing from another room.


A real hearty bellyaching laugh. 


Then she came in and shared a WhatsApp post from one of her friends which said:

I ate 11 times and took 5 naps and I woke up and it’s still today!

Then I couldn’t stop laughing. 😉
