Two liters of MOXIE is wild,
Not this happy since a long while…
Twelve can packs of DIET
Could barely stay quiet,
Bought the two twelve packs they had there tonight!
–
SHAWS in Whitinsville, Mass.
Is where I found this great cache…
A delicious way
To end the day,
Sure hope they have more in the back!!!!! ❤

A New York State Trappist monastery,
Supports itself by varied…
Breads and preserves
The proceeds go towards,
Keeping up this sanctuary!
–
Been thinking, since I have a friend
Who once thought he’d be Trappist at the end…
Married Chinese
The Lord they please,
The Lord to China them sent!
–
Christian industry
My layout could use, naturally…
Flour and sweet
Railcars meet,
Blessing a miniature economy!

THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,
An engineer left, smirking…
I used to drink
Two potfuls I think,
An empty machine is irking!

Last night’s pepperoni pizza pie,
Folks didn’t eat much of (but why?)…
Offered to me
I accepted gladly,
With a handful of breadsticks beside!
–
Papa Gino’s provided the pie,
The heat index seemed high…
Good going down
With water around,
Almost brought tears to the eye!
–
Almost an entire large,
Took more than one meal discharged…
Lovely to eat
Because of the heat,
So glad they let me take charge.

Advantages of frigid weather,
Doing food shopping all together…
Cold things won’t thaw–
It’s below zero after all—
So simple it’s not even clever!

Came home from work and shopping,
Other than that–no reason for stopping…
some “Brown ans Serve”
He’s nibbling (the nerve!),
and gobbled all up in the offing!

We took what I thought worth taking,
A soup of my own making…
Boiled cabbage and ham
But no thank you Ma’am,
Just me and the wife were taking.
–
Competition was rather strong,
Lasagna and casserole gone…
What little we ate
I’d consolidate
And use for suppers till gone!
–
I had someone’s lemon meringue,
Almost too sweet–no tang–
Along with ice cream
(And lasagna again!),
Enough food for the whole gang!
–
My wife left her pink NORTH CREEK hat,
I’m rescuing stuff like that…
Everyone knows
Keeping track of clothes
Is anything but old hat!

Apparently not all the same,
Galumpkis worthy of the name…
May be layered
with exquisite care,
Let’s trust it tastes “the same”!
–
Parboiled cabbage leaves
Surround meat and rice dutifully…
Ground meat
With rice complete
Adding spices beautifully!
–
some add tomato sauce,
Not as thick as spaghetti, of course…
Succulent juices
are never useless
Over mashed potato–starch source!
–
Reminds me of a youthful story,
cousin Suzie and I in our glory..
finished off a whole bowl
Of galumpki and potato,
Hungry teens–that’s my story!

The British have fish and chips,
Newspaper-wrapped for drips…
Their specialties
Include mashed (or mushed) peas,
Instead of potato as chips?

This weekend I was caught,
Not doing as I ought…
A whole can of chili
For a snack is silly,
It’s blood sugar level spike-wrought!
–
Tasting good and healthy are unequal,
Lessen portions in any sequel…
Servings per can
More than one I understand,
All at once affects diabetic people!
–
Changed to turkey and cheese,
Sandwich or two which pleased…
My palate–not the nurse–
Eating too much was worse,
Need to reign in my greedy “needs”.
