One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 30, 2023

Moderm day problem

How about tofu jerky.

A coupla’ loaves of toast!

Bananas anyone?

Our grade school basketball games were low-score games, but our baseball games had impressive high scores!

A bottle of water and a flavored toothpick.

How about some finger sandwiches? Fill with hummus, avocado and tomato? Or is someone allergic to Gluten?

Bring whatever was there this week.

How about “bring your own”?

The score sounds like cricket.

What have the other parents brought for snacks?

Ice cubes are a safe bet.

Pretzels it is.

Veggies and hummus and the other kids will ask them to never bring the snacks again.

People are ridiculous these days.

How about a variety and let them choose? And water to drink.

No sugar for Todd in his tea!"

Almond butter is a good substitute for peanut butter. It’s has anti inflammatory properties too. Put it on some rice crackers with banana slices, really tasty

That baseball score may be the hardest moment to believe in OBH history.

In my daughter’s pre school class for speech, she told me of a student who was allergic to chocolate. There were about 12 students, 2 speech therapists and 2 assistants. On her birthday months later, she wanted me to bring chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, but was concerned about the allergic one. I made a batch of vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting so she could partake in the festivities. (I took the extras to work with me). I couldn’t imagine a 5 year old not being able to have a cupcake while everyone else was!

Thank you God for blessing my wife and I with a couple of adorable CATS!

We’ve learned the best option was each child bring their own personal snacks, that way it didn’t cause all the problems of what to bring or not to bring because of food issues

Water and crackers.

Okay, I could see having one or two kids on the team having some kind of food allergy or restriction, but every single kid?

You’re in luck. Fruitcake has no sugar!
