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.  😉

Your Expiration Date

So I was talking to someone about their challenges in life.


And they said something that really hit a chord:

You never know what your expiration date is!


What an interesting way to say you never know when your time is up.


They used the phrase “expiration date” like we so commonly see on food and medicine products. 


You know when you read the label and it tells you to discard after a certain date. 


So people are like all these other goods that have a date stamped on them.


We have a date stamped on us (maybe it’s on our forehead or some other less conspicuous place), and we just can’t see it. 


Yet, we need to live every day as if that expiration date is coming due. 


Because like that stale food in your fridge or the old medicine in your cabinets, everything and everybody has a shelf life.


So you better live every day good and meaningfully before your expiration date comes due. 😉

Donuts With Syringe

So I never actually saw donuts being sold with the syringe. 


I get that they use the syringe to put the custard, jelly, and other fillings inside.


But leaving the syringe hanging out of the donuts like that conjures up images of addicts and junkies.


DESPITE that, these incredibly rich and overflowing donuts with gobs of toppings were some of the finest I’ve ever seen. 


Takes more than a good dose of willpower to resist and not become an addict of these carbohydrate powerhouses.
