Now you know how to prepare pineapple and melon for a breakfast treat.   Bananas and a carrot too.  Wonder what the nose is, a tomato?   How cute it is and I bet really tasty when you carve it up and your taste buds are at the ready.     


Angie had this little cutie on her Facebook yesterday.   I couldn't resist....never thought beach rocks could be so interesting.  um.....a real beauty resting in the sunshine;  clever and some one has an artistic eye or is wishful thinking. 


Helen Keller meeting Charlie Chaplin.    I wonder what she thought of him.  Fingers don't lie.   


A menu from a time when salaries were around twenty dollars a week;   you are much to young to remember those good old days.    If you go out to lunch today it is twenty dollars for two as everything is increasing in price but I can't say the same for taste.   If you want anything extra on your hamburger you have to pay for it.    We used to go over to the Lucky Seven to have lunch as it was five dollars for the salad bar which was a cup of delicious soup and a whole bar of crisp vegetables with some good crusty bread on the side;  the new price is nine dollars and most folks are staying away.  I don't think there were five people in the restaurant the last time we were there.    Food prices are sky rocketing and the new idea is for neighbors to share food at meal time.    If you cook a pot of spaghetti and have lots of left overs, make a deal with your neighbor to share and then when they cook up a huge boiled dinner they share back.  I guess you would have to start a neighborhood club and discuss menus so you all cooked something different and to every one's taste.    Maybe those who do not like to cook or do not have time, could help pay for the ingredients.    It may come to that so don't put your nose up in the air.    Victory gardens will have to come back in style.    Sharing and caring never go out of style.   So today think about making good friends with your neighbors.   Learn about their likes and dislikes in the food department as you  may have to share in order to exist in this strange elitist world Obama has in mind for us.  I just hope you have a friendlier neighborhood than I do. I've been in this one just over eleven years and I cannot tell you the names of neighbors on this street, with the exception of one who does know how to be a neighbor while the others nod and go their own way.    Sad but true, isolation seems to be the name of the game.  So today reach out and touch someone, it may be the opening of a beautiful friendship.    Hugs to all.
