"And then he went to look for some parsley."
Okay you literature experts. Who said that?
I do feel just like him though.
We've been eating our heads off. Yesterday we went to buy Ben a suit at the suit store and we didn't eat there only because they don't have food or allow food at the suit store. Then Rick, Ben, and I went to the Great State Fair of Texas. We listened to bands, watched trained dogs do great tricks, longed after all the beautiful cars in the car show, walked and walked, and ate and ate -- corn dogs, Jack's French fries, fried snicker, and funnel cake. You know, fair food. My only regret was that we missed the pig races -- the real pigs not us. Next we came home and my parents had arrived for the weekend. My mom is feeling better and was up to the trip for the church shower this weekend. Of course, I wanted to make a nice dinner so we had molasses grilled pork chops, mashed potatoes, big green salad, rolls and of course two desserts so we could have the "George Bingham Special." You know, company food. Then because we had company this morning we had pigs in blankets and Krispie Cream donuts. You know health food. The shower was from 10-12 and we had coffee cake, quiche, banana bread, strawberries. You know, shower food. I'm skipping lunch because I'm full right now. I don't know how long that will last. Tonight we're celebrating Ben's birthday with a family dinner. The menu includes Theta Barnes (from Picayune, Mississippi) Chicken, rice, spinach salad with bacon, rolls, and now 3 desserts. The birthday cake has been added to the line-up. You know, birthday food. I'm not finished yet. Tomorrow we're going to the Cowboy game. I have no idea what we'll eat but I bet we do and I bet it's -- you know, football game food. "And then I'll go look for some parsley."

Hey, I'm really glad your mom is feeling better. Go ahead and have the "George Bingham special" for me. Thanks!
i don't know who said it but I do know it is Beatrix Potter. I also wanted to let everyone know that my sweet mother didn't get to go to the game because she let me and Justin go instead.
What a witty post! I'm shocked that you don't have 20 comments. It's probably because everyone got hungry and went searching for something as delicious as any one thing that you described. Everyone should move to Dallas to partake of your wonderful meals!
Hi, Denise! I loved your post. What is the George Bingham special? I know you are excited (and very busy) with the baby coming almost any day. I would say that you will be eating "baby food", but somehow that loses something in the interpretation.
Well, we are just back from a quick October Break trip up the coast of No Cal with the folks. (You know, free food). And since it is No Cal, we can eat anything we want. Ha ha. At one meal in Ft Bragg, we were only offered freshly caught fish that was to die for (you know, brain food). In the car, we had the usual "pink things" and snacks. (you know, travel food). Now that we are back and the reality of no job returns, Kathie made some choc chip cookies (you know, comfort food).
You need to update so we all know what is going on in the fabulous life of Denise. The cleaning and cooking fairy used to live at your house. Did she move out?
