Food Fright!

By Jimmy Johnson

My two cats will not eat canned cat food made from beef products. Will not touch it. We don’t buy most types of cat food made from seafood, because the smell is gawdawful. That leaves poultry and sometimes tuna. And why don’t you ever see pet food made from pork? I strongly suspect every bit of the pig is fed back to us humans one way or another.

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Braums has some incredible ice cream of highest quality and complex mixes, yet at populist prices.

    My late mother in law loved them. She’d order a double waffle cone which they run at $1.79 often and she’d exalt that at home in Lafayette, Louisiana she would have to pay $6-$7 for one as large and equal in quality.

    She spoke the truth.

    Braums also runs small groceries as part of their shops selling their dairy products along with their baked goods, breads, vegetables, fruuts, meats. I buy their grocery products more than anything else.

    Am exhausted tonight. I have been purging and rearranging books, donating books to sales or giving away. I have given the boat building books to the museum and Farley Boat Works in Port Aransas. They lost everything in the hurricane.

    Trying to get living room looking awesome again. Ghost has office in there. Right now and I have made a mess. Sofa is covered in books I am giving away.

    That Braum’s neon sign. I guess I don’t know how it appears in real life. But in print on the screen, that waffle-cone, wrapped in that direction, around the bare shoulders of a vanilla scoop, with a bold scoop of something red (strawberry?).

    Once I’ve decided, I now cannot -not- see it. It makes me think of a Rita Hayworth type stepping into the nightclub, holding her wrap tight against the San Francisco evening air, just before she says, ‘hello fellas’.

    Anyone else?
