Well NOT 'Healthy today....

[AndrewT]

Dear all,

Today I had a Pizza, for Lunch- a 'Meaty One, with extra Jalapenos- and this evening my Neighbour, Michael 'Sent Down' A Burger, Chips and Beans. I thanked him, very much, and said how much I had enjoyed it.... I'm a 'Good' liar, even if I say so myself...The actual Burger, was Lost, in an enormous great bun- the Chips were as hard as nails- the beans, yes Ok you can't do those wrong (can you?). Either way I left Michael with the Impression that I had 'Really Enjoyed' it all.

You can Criticise me, if you want, but this man is a 'good' friend, has a very pleasant 'way' about him- and has a similar 'Humour' to me..... Gawd 'Elp 'Im. Michael has also only, fairly recently, 'lost' his Grandfather- with whom he was fairly 'close'. Now, be honest, would YOU tell him the food- thoughtfully cooked- was 'Bad'? Nor did I.

There was a Lovely Story, around some years back now.... The man's Wife had been in Hospital, it's not important 'what with', suffice it was for some Months. On her return, the lady cooked her family Breakfast. As she placed the toast, down on the table, the lady said "Oh my 'Word', I burnt the toast, I'm so sorry". "That's OK, my Love, my Grandma 'always' burnt the toast- so I'm 'used' to it, in fact I just LOVE burnt Toast." The man then gave his Wife, a Tender kiss, before happily eating the toast.

After Breakfast their Son, turns to his Dad, and says "Do you Really like burnt toast Dad?". The Father just smiled, before saying "Your Mother has just returned, from the Hospital Son.... How can I Complain about, a bit, of burnt toast?".

The 'Burnt Toast', wasn't a Problem... any more than Michael's 'Doggy' Chips.

Hi AndrewT ,

It was really nice to hear that your friend brought you a few items for a meal— even if it wasn’t perfect. You did the right thing and didn’t hurt his feelings. Great job!😀👍🌈

How did your pizza turn out? Was it homemade?😀👍🌈

Sorry but NO, it was 'Dominos'. I don't have a Working Oven, haven't had for months- the glass Shattered, at about the start of Lockdown. It IS being repaired on the Fifth, of next month..... and it will be the Whole Oven! I'll keep you all 'Posted'.

Sounds good to me. I can’t wait to hear about the new oven when you get it installed.😀👍🌈

Do not feel bad. To end a stressful week I am going to order pizza tomorrow night as a treat.

Well done for you.

My mom somehow always burned the toast. I got to like it that way.

She is 98 and still burning the toast! I guess it is ok.

Cherish your friends; because they care about you, and even food that is not to your taste is nourishing. both to the body and also the soul if it's made with care in their heart. With regard to the pizza; a little of what you fancy does you good.

Cheers, Midori

Hi Andrew this is very gracious of you and very kind of your neighbour, now I loved burnt toast when I was a child!

I hope that you enjoy your day now. 👍

Hi AndrewT

Kindness and generosity of spirit goes a long way, and I can see you have plenty of that here.

I had some toast for my evening meal today, and it was slightly burned at the corners - but thankfully we both enjoyed it anyway.
