The Potlucks!!!!!
I used to think stretchy pants were the work of the devil, but I do believe potlucks have stretchy pants beaten hands down!
Goodness, how many potlucks can a body endure before resembling the goodyear blimp???
I'm debating whether to boycott them. Anything that has food lined up like an animal trough might be off my radar for a while. I agree with the reasoning behind them. Let's all pull together and host a party. After all, who wants to make all the food? Isn't it better to share and share alike?
I looked up the word "potluck" and it has some biblical origins. Well, of course it does. I remember reading in my New Testament class where the early Christians met together, everyone brought a meal, and they worshiped and ate together. A First Century "Jacob's Supper." I imagine each ancient ancestor brought from their garden or their herd. Speaking of which, fast food is not a new concept. While visiting Pompeii as we traveled down the ancient (1st century) main street, our tour guide pointed out what she called the first McDonalds. She told us that these "holes" in the brick were actually holders for hot meals. As the travelers were going to work...maybe in the city square?....they would stop for a hot breakfast on their way. An ancient Luby's perhaps?
Well, Grainiacs, I have been looking for my Italy pictures so I could show you the first ancient fast food joint but like other things, it is lost in the packing and I haven't been able to unpack all my boxes. In addition to losing weight, I am also attempting to organize myself. Problem is I haven't had time because of all these ding dong potlucks!!!!
Have a wonderful Thursday and keep up the great work, Graini-Aunt! She is 5 pounds down and got wonderful reports from her doctor concerning her cholesterol. Whoo hoo!!!! We, grainiacs, celebrate with you.
P.S. Checked on other computer and no luck! Can't find all my Italy pictures. sniff sniff..Not at the top of my list, but definitely on the list is to find Italy pictures!!!
