ReplyDeleteOooo, pumpkin pie sounds good.
ReplyDeletelol "only fishermen".
I agree with quote about the bread and butter - especially home made bread with butter and just a splash of vinegar infused with chili peppers. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are making me want bacon!
Am very faithful to #1. Great list, happy T13!
ReplyDeleteLOL - I loved these. A couple of them made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry. I need to bake some bread. Tragically, I lack tasty butter. Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Nice list! Happy TT, dear.
ReplyDeleteI love those quotes; actually, I love just about anything having to do with food. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all good. I wonder if Jim Davis is a comic rather than a cook. I like the bonus one too.
ReplyDeleteJames Beard is right. Fresh baked bread is the ultimate good.
ReplyDeleteI love these and Jim Davis is a crack up.
#2, no truer words! Thanks for the smiles this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT,

ReplyDeleteI love Mark Twain's quote. Great list!

ReplyDeleteAlice: It does, doesn't it? *g*
Bratty: Mmm...now you have me thinking about a bacon sandwich on homemade bread. Sigh... Store bought will have to do.
Mercy: I'm not big on zucchini bread, but I had that veggie plenty of other ways last summer.

Mary: Thank you. I think Twain has something to say on every subject. *g*
ReplyDeletePaige: Thanks! Of course, the grand irony in the Franklin quote is that he was rather er...corpulent...himself, lol.
Anita: Not at all. Just testing your will power. *vbg*
I would eat more vegetables if they tasted & smelled like bacon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. :)
