Thursday 13- My Favorite 13 Foods 6/12/08

And these are in order. Some of these may seem strange to you, but I can’t help which foods taste the best to me, can I?

1. Green Beans (Cooked anyway. I’m southern you know.)

2. Summer Tomatoes (Not those middle of the winter ones, ugh)

3. Crème Brulee (OMG, this is just to die for.)



4. Pork Ribs (Not beef, with Carolina sauce or the dry rub ones are not as messy, but still great.)

5. Filet Mignon (I know, I shouldn’t eat this, but I do, sometimes)

6. Chicken Marsala (There are several places that I order this, some are better than others.)

7. Cheese Cake (With fruit topping and a little whip cream.)

8. Pork Chops (Lightly breaded and fried)

9. Mash Potatoes (Real ones, not instant, with real butter.)



10. Homemade Brownies (with walnuts, no icing.)

11. Sourdough Bread (with dipping sauce and/or butter)

12. Hot Krispy Kreme Donuts (just the plain ones and only when they are hot)

13. Homemade Deep-Dish Blackberry Pie (I couldn’t hardly decide, it was a toss up. I do love Sweet Potato Pie just about as much.)



After seeing my list, I guess you now know why I find it so hard to eat the foods that are suppose to be good for me. I am hoping that my genes are good and what I eat isn’t going to kill me or shorten my life. All my grandparents lived well into their late 80’s and my favorite grandmother lived to 94 years old.

Food seems to bring people together. And that is a good thing!

3 Word Wednesday & 55 Flash Fiction Friday

I am combining Three Word Wednesday and 55 Fiction Friday again this week. The prompts were Change, Key and Dizzy.



Change, I can’t. I know the consequences. I’m killing my family and myself. I need her car key to leave. Can they hold me here against my will? I can’t think, I’m sick, dizzy achy. Thank you God, found it! In my pocket I feel Mom’s ring. I am gone………..I can’t stop, help me.

Sunday Scribblings "My Nights" and Writer's Island "Unexpected"

My writing time has been limited recently so I decided to combine Sunday Scribblings and Writer's Island this week. The prompts worked well together for me. Sunday Scribblings prompt was My Nights and the prompt for Writer's Island was Unexpected.





My insecurities always surface when I am alone and the darkness comes. I don’t like feeling the anxiety that comes with them. I am in hotel rooms at least 4 nights each week so I try to hide myself in activities to avoid the fear that comes each night. I do endless paperwork, play computer games, talk on the phone, and watch TV, write and read trying to busy myself until bedtime. I play the TV all night because the fear of waking to an unexpected sound doesn’t allow me to have silence. I must have light in the room to keep the shadows away.




I don’t let my family or friends know about "my nights" because that would show weakness and that is not acceptable! I like being independent and having insecurities and fear doesn’t exactly fit with independence. The good thing is just as the darkness comes each day so does the light. Strange as it is, I love "my nights" just not when I am alone.

3 Word Wednesday & 55 Flash Fiction Friday

I enjoy combining Three Word Wednesday and 55 Fiction Friday. It makes me feel like a real writer. The prompts for this week were Deny, Smile and Uncomfortable.



I see it on your face. The uncomfortable feeling in my stomach tells me I am right. Should I confront you? You will deny it, but that won’t make it untrue. Should I reciprocate? Revenge, so sweet, the thought makes me smile. Would you feel this stabbing hurt? The real question is why. Explain…….please.
