The reason I ate all the Cheetos was because a local discount store had them ten for a dollar. I figured that if they didn't cost anything then they couldn't be all that bad. It was totally out of character for me. The problem is that I bought forty bags. It is just one more notch in my downward dietary demise.
Breakfast lately has been spaghetti and Prego. Which is probably an improvement. For breakfast, I have eaten a can of black eyed peas seasoned with bacon drippings, a can of hominy, an enchilada, gumbo and rice, and a leftover something I couldn't really identify--I think it was fried okra. Occasionally I break down from embarrassment and fix some oatmeal. I have never been able to face an egg in the morning (or any other time) so breakfast is a challenge. My solution for years has been to skip it. But my doctor is not happy with that, so I am experimenting with morning food. So far, so good--except for the Cheetos.
I have quit cooking almost altogether. Becky loads me up with home cooked individual meals (frozen) every time I go to Edmond. Gumbo, meatballs, ham and red-eye gravy (yum), eggplant parmesan--so I have plenty in the freezer to thaw. And I usually cook every other Sunday or so
for Scott and Stacy and my brother Bill and Janet. This Sunday I am cooking stew and cornbread. So I do occasionally break down and start something from scratch. I have cooked at least two meals a day for the last fifty seven years. Ken always had hot food. I find it interesting that I have so little interest in it now.
It is a good thing I don't care for sweets. But I don't like them. Sugar is not my thing. Bread, well that is another story. I have a sweet friend (Kathy) who bakes me bread--hot rolls--from time to time. I usually eat them all in a day. I never met a carbohydrate that I didn't love.
Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink (and Cheetos); but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit."
