#8…Who Am I?

Sometimes I don’t even know myself. Like this week.

Here’s a bit of backstory, because I always need to explain…I’m a terrible eater. I mean, I can eat with the best of ’em but not healthily. Is that a word? Most people love fruit, I do too if it’s baked in pastry. Lots of people love veggies, Mr. Colquhoun included. But me, not so much. I do really love a good salad as long as there is Bleu Cheese dressing! Now the basics-potatoes, corn, green beans, peas-I’ll eat, however, not daily. Sometimes not even weekly, except for spuds…I love all things potato. And those potatoes love all parts of me too-belly, butt, chins, flabby arms, etc. Please tell me you feel my pain. Okay now back to the story:

They say your taste buds change as you age, Lord knows-I’m aging. Fast. I do really like cole slaw on a pulled pork sandwich now. And broccoli, some days I kinda crave it. Not the same craving as fresh bread but an inkling of crave. Since Saturday supper, I’ve made (and eaten) 1. Broccoli Cheddar Soup with carrots. 2. Fresh sweet potato fries. 3. Garlic parmesan roasted brussel sprouts. My body is screaming healthy! I’m one-up on the mister, he would not try the brussel sprouts, he says because I will not agree to go see the new Halloween movie. What the what? Firstly, we hardly ever go to the movies and secondly, we don’t “do” scary movies. Smh.

Now, that leaves the spaghetti squash that also came in the Bountiful Basket last Saturday with the sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. I’m thinking I’ll be putting it in the crock pot, I know there’s a recipe out there, waiting for me.

We don’t eat fast food very often, our small town got a brand new McDonalds that opened Aug, 2017 and neither of us has even been in the parking lot, let alone inside. Right now, the local Wendy’s is being totally re-done and when we do go the fast food route, our favs are Sonic and Wendy’s. It seems as though Wendy’s commercials have been on repeat lately and every single time he sees one, Mr. Colquhoun grumbles, “they should not be showing Wendy’s burgers since we can’t have one right now.” So when they re-open, we are goin on a date! Living large, dontcha think?

If you have a great, fool-proof recipe for spaghetti squash…send it my way! You know, for the person who has taken over my body. Now, where is that candy bar I’ve been hiding, I mean, saving?

Enjoy your week, friends…I’ll be talking to you!
