suffice tonight.

Oh no. Does this mean I have something in common with Bruce. I have
never been a fan of potato chips. I think we recently talked about Miss Vickie's chips being a superior form of potato chips. Every year when I participate in the Ride For Dad to raise money for prostate cancer
research and education I get a small bag of them in my swag bag. I have
to say those are pretty good chips. I eat them and enjoy them every June when I go on the ride and get that small bag, but that is it for chips
for me for the year. I just don't buy them.

Yes, there are. I was indulging in a bit of humor. I can see
why you'd not expect that from me.
Although I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say that a fair
percentage of health-conscious people are also child-free.

musty old granny from the 1960s. You eat like poor white trash, but
you're not poor. You just have trashy taste.

a new one for me. There was no such thing in the small town in which I

was so nasty that it left an unfavourable association with me for a

I guess some people must have liked it because it was around for years before it was finally discontinued. Personally, I thought it was
disgusting. There was an unpleasant aftertaste, as there is with most
diet sodas. There is one that I have found to be acceptable. Diet
Dr.Pepper is actually not bad, perhaps even better than the regular cloyingly sweet Dr.Pepper.

That is about the age my brother was when he could not go out trick or treating unless he ate his peas. He still whines about it. I have to

Beets are a little lower on my list, along with cabbage.
I keep hearing about greens but they aren't the sort of thing I would put

I have similar feelings about asparagus. I don't know why anyone would
hate it, but some people do.
As far as I am concerned it is their loss. I like a lot of vegetables.--
Some I like more than others. I am not a huge fan of carrots but eat

I loved them as a child, but don't like them at all now. But like your opinion of carrots, I'll eat them and carrots if in a dish such as soup.
I do put peas and diced carrots in my chicken pot pie, which just recently I've started adding.
Beets are a little lower on my list, along with cabbage.
Cooked beets, NO! But pickled beets? Yes please, cabbage, too.

I'm a big fan of turnip greens, but not mustard greens, but I've never eaten Swiss chard. Turnips and parsnips, no thank you.
