TGIF (Thank God Its Food)!

Yes, IT'S FRIDAY!  Rah rah.

I have friends who question whether it matters.  It does.  Not sure how much.

But it's Friday.

We struggle for another day.  Fighting time, boredom, and repetition.

But one thing to bring up here is that maybe that F should be "food," not Friday.

Because there is A LOT of food in my Twitter feed.

You have heard about the Covid 15, right?

Weeks ago someone postulated that we were going to be stuck at home for weeks, not getting enough exercise (in fairness, I see people in their Twitter feed talk about exercise programs while stuck at home, too, but not nearly as many as I'm about to recount about food), eating, and we'd all gain 15 lbs. 

Fifteen?!?!?!  I'd be in a place I've never been before (admission, I was not my slimmest when this started).

How? Why?

First, again in my Twitter feed, I keep seeing all these "you can only pick 3" options -- out of 9 pictures.  One of these was casual dining places (someone said "hard pass" to picking through these), but many others put out picks.

Then there were a whole series of the  9 picture thing with snack food: one may have been sponsored by Little Debbie!  I mean, with pictures, over and over, of Hostess chocolate cupcakes, honey buns, twinkies, hohos, and whole bunch of cookies.  Where's the gun GIF?

But I'm not done.  There are a whole series of feeds with recipes.  One had "fifteen meals you can make quickly with 5 ingredients."  Eight of them made me gag.  One, as I remember, was carved out butternut squash to make a kind of taco (gag, gag) -- lots of spaghetti.

I've seen a whole series of recipes from supposedly famous chefs.  I did recognize Bobby Flay, famed for hamburgers, who surprisingly didn't just pitch two weeks worth of different burgers (and shakes, don't forget) but put out a series of meals that would be easy to prepare -- starting with a couple chickens that you then turn into chicken soup and chicken salad. 

Are you beginning to see the issue here? 

I won't go into all the people on twitter baking -- either desserts or various kinds of bread.

Just the pictures would put on 5 of the alleged 15 pounds.

So, today, as you sludge through another work day, or another just dreadful day, just think of food. 

Twitter will help.  A lot!

Chin up, we'll make it, it looks like New York's curve is flattening, rah effin' rah.
