Some Oldies but Goodies

 EATING FOR ECSTASY WAY BACK WHEN

Our dogs turned up their noses at the most highly touted animal food, but would happily gulp down every scrap that came off the table.....which led your girl to the inescapable conclusion that what we eat is canine junk food. Meanwhile, she kept on scarfing down fried chicken and french fries, praying that sooner or later someone would discover the medicinal benefits of grease.

Fiorella has been known to eat potatoes raw. It's genetics: her mother used to munch them... and she also ate her hamburger meat raw. That--shudder--your girl can't bring herself self to do.

To further confound you, Mom liked her steak well-done, while Fio has always preferred her steak rare.

As a child, Fio was taught that butter, being a dairy product, was good for her. Then she read about saturated fats and switched to margarine. Then, a couple of years later, she read that she should should toss her margarine and buy butter because of something-or-other else about the fats, but the food police keep changing their minds so much that Fio gave up and ate what she wanted to: Fiorella drinks a lot of milk and has very dense bones with not a trace of osteoporosis--although she does moo a lot and swishes flies with her tail. 😉

How do you know you're all grown up?

       STAGE ONE: teenage supermarket clerks stop hitting on you, 

       STAGE TWO:  they address you as "Ma'am." 

       STAGE THREE: they start hitting on your daughter.
