“If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.”
~Andrea Boydston
Yesterday, I learned that Pringles are really bad for me. So horrible in fact, that Mercola labeled them “Cancer in a Can”. I don’t eat Pringles too often. But if I’m experiencing motion sickness, Pringles are my go to cure. I swear by them.
Maraschino cherries, too. From the sounds of it, they are one tasty bite of liquid calcium chloride and sulfur dioxide. I just left a jar up in the villa. Should I go toss them, lest I kill one of my incoming guests ??
Everywhere I turn, people are telling me that what I eat is bad for me. I’ve studied food most of my life. I have a prestigious degree in it. And I’m vegan as a result. So day in, day out, my diet consists primarily of whole foods. Not a lot of processed.
And I know that if someone has cancer, they should avoid sugar at all costs.
Four days ago, Mr. K was well enough to join my parents for their weekly lunch date at their favorite restaurant. Mom mentioned that the only thing that appealed to Mr. K was brownies and ice cream. It was the first thing he’d been able to keep down in days. And it was his last meal.
So today, I say “Laugh, Love, and eat Brownies”.
Surely, a little bit of indulgence ain’t what’s going to kill ya … 😉
I think I’ll go and stock up on my Pringles now …
And I hope one of my guests has a Pina Colada, with lots of rum, and a cherry on top ….

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.
– Dr. Seuss
