Someone once said that they like the way something tasted.
Well, If ya like the way something tastes,
(And, they say we taste with the tongue)
wouldn't it make sense that we would just
hold the food item in our mouths
for as long as possible???
And maybe even spit it out -
Without swallowing -
Without swallowing -
Like they do for wine tasting?
Just for the taste of it....
☝☝ I'm NOT suggesting that, either!☝☝
☟☟ And BTW - not my teeth! ☟☟

But, no, really - we don't do that.
Because it's not really just about the taste.
And it's not really about the hunger.
Or nutritional value.

And it's not really about the hunger.

We just gobble it down.
Or eat it up.
Or eat it up.
As fast as humanly possible.
So fast, in fact,
we almost don't have a chance to taste it!

Back in The Day
A treat was just that - a treat....
Not an every day occurrence.
Maybe a couple of times a year - people had "treats."
And they were REAL celebrations. Not just snacks.
And they were REAL celebrations. Not just snacks.
Birthday, holidays, special get-togethers....
But not just having cakes around all day.... for crying out loud!
What's the occasion? No occasion!
I just wanted to eat another cake.
That's the occasion.... not so occasional!
A couple of more reasons to be Thankful
This Holiday Season
This Holiday Season
A recipe for nice Stewed Squirrels
A real recipe from a real person's book
Or maybe try the Rabbit - Fried or Peppered!?
Your choice! Yikes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A roof that doesn't leak (too much)
Food that doesn't suck (or bite us back)
People who care enough to try again
And love us through thick and thin...
Lots to be glad for this year!
Stay warm and dry and cozy
And know that it's all good!
Happy ThanksGiving to You and Yours!
No actual squirrels or rabbits or moms
were cooked used in the making of this post!
