jojo's dinner

planning a menu

 

8:00 AM

"I'm gonna make a fruit drink want some?"

of course i do... yogurt (vanilla), orange juice, a banana or two, maybe a mango, some strawberries and a ton of frozen fruit--what ever ya got blueberries, blackberries...throw it in the blender. drink it.  you are now set for the day (after your ice cream headache passes)...or at least until lunch time! 

12:00 noon

have a sandwich. Cheese: swiss, cheddar. a little mustard and a little mayo. greens are very dark...gotta eat very dark or very bright colored food whenever possible--so that means spinach, baby arugula (say it---arrrrruugula). the bread should be fresh, crunchy but not too crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside...yeah.

3:00 pm

... go to california and find my nieces. they will take you to menchies (you will have to drive however--they are only 6 and 4). OR-- as i just discovered by going to the link i just added above...there may be a menchies right around the corner from where you live!!!  fill-er-up

please can I have another? or just a factoy down the street

Tastykakes are hard to find west of Philly. Its a shame really because mid-westerners would appreciation these little treats. We like to snack out here in OHIO. We snack all the time. And we eat dessert...all the time too.

You can, of course, buy them on line. But that is too planned, too predictable...as in "oh good on Wednesday I can have a butterscotch krimpet 'cause I ordered them on Saturday". See how that doesn't work? When you order tastykakes on line you order a BOX and that means you have a BOX in your kitchen screaming your name all day long (and you WILL eat them all day long if they are available) No. this is not how I want my kandy Kakes (with dark chocolate cake and chocolate icing). I want my (peanut butter) kandy kakes spontaneously. I want to wander in to a corner store looking for a carton of milk or a loaf of bread and see them...lined up in a big display case by the register...every variety, freshly stocked,  shiny cellophane wrappers, perfectly packaged, ready to eat right now. Or maybe in a half an hour after you eat your sandwich that you packed for lunch. Do you understand Mr. Tastykake? Could you open a factory here in Columbus? The wonder bread factory just closed...maybe you could move in there.
