A very long time ago I gave up moderation for Lent and then finally any connection to any organized religion. My birthday almost always fell during Lent and not being able to celebrate without any imposed guilt was a PITA. During a Friday Night Parish Soup Supper I let slip in conversation that I was going to celebrate my 12th birthday the next day no matter what. One of the priests told me to not do anything “sinful”. I asked her (I attended an Episcopal Church) what she meant by “sin.” “Anything that goes against the will or purpose of God.” “Well then, what is the purpose of chocolate?” I asked. She replied that it was to be eaten. “So, if I do not eat it then am I going against the will of God and if I do eat it am I not fulfilling God’s will as to what to do with the chocolate?” The Senior Warden gasped at my cheek. It think they are still pondering that. And I will be eating my German’s Chocolate Birthday cake. With homemade Chocolate Mint Chip ice cream. That’s chocolate ice cream with mint chips. MMMMMMMM

Well, today is the first Lenten Friday of 2022, so June had the right idea.

Turkey bacon is actually pretty good, but cauliflower anything? No. That’s just an abomination.

All he needs is decaf coffee with artificial sweetener and nondairy creamer. If this were a restaurant would it be okay to pay with counterfeit money?

There is no such thing as Turkey Bacon. It simply doesn’t exist in this dimension.

“Wally, I’ve got a treat for you!” I bet even he won’t eat the pancakes.

Oh, June, you shouldn’t have told him. Wait until after he eats it. As for the eggs, I betcha they’re egg beaters.

I tried cauliflower pizza crust- YUCK!

June shouldn’t have said a word about breakfast until Ralph was finished. He probably would eat it too quickly to tell the difference.
