Okay, seriously – is there anybody who didn’t read this week’s prompt and go to choo-choo train? Anyone?? I even read it in my head like okay, sweetums, here comes the choo choo train! And I didn’t even say that to my kids!
I will fight this off. I will resist.
I.will.deny.the.choo.choo.train.
Growing up I heard that saying “chew your food 100 times” and really took it to heart. That’s probably why I finish a meal last at every blessed gathering – no matter the occasion, no matter the guests’ ages, there I sit with half a plate while everyone else moves on to dessert. I’ve learned to ignore the weird looks as I chew steadily away. I like to think I’m savoring every last bite; I’m told I just take ridiculously small bites. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
Or maybe I’m just particularly choosy. Yeah, I want that broccoli, but not really that gigantic stalk, but I do want some of the stalk, I’ll just cut it so it’s mostly leafy crown with just the right amount of stalk.
What? You mean you don’t pay that much attention to veggies you stab with a fork? Huh.

Okay, guys, this one is all over the freaking map. Phoebe’s done something weird to her shoulder or her leg and I’m totally distracted watching her limp around here. Gotta call it a wrap!
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “chew/choo.” Use one or both, any way you’d like. Have fun!
I basically shovel it all in unless I’m at a proper table. Then I’m almost back to back with the chair, posture perfect, napkin on my lap, cutlery rules and all that. Table training lasts forever. Which is why it’s more fun to eat tacos on the couch 😉

Tacos on the couch are THE BEST. I have to be wearing the oldest possible shirt, though – preferably someone else’s!

Sounds like a healthy way to eat. You keep right on chewing as long as you want!

Thanks, Dan. The pain relief/anti inflammatory seems to be helping. I hate when the fur babies are hurt!

It’s true you can have too much stalk, so have to cut the little flowerettes off.
Happy weekend and hope Phoebe feels better soon. 🙂

Thank you. We just got back from the vet & it looks like a soft tissue thing. Lots of rest & an anti-inflammatory should do the trick.
