Let’s Give Sour a Fighting Chance

daily prompt, postaday, salt of the earth

Knowing myself and because I’m a martyr by nature, I’d give up my taste of sweet.

I think that giving up sweet could mean that I get to experience some real sweetness. I may be contradicting myself but I may be right as well.

Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, spicy.

I think one would not know what sweet tastes like without experiencing those.

A relationship that turned sour. Bad example. It was sweet at first then it went sour. But then after this experience, you’ve learned from it and the next time you know what to look for, what to watch out for. So I have a feeling it’ll be sweeter the next time ’round. Ok so maybe not such a bad example after all.

The truth, sometimes, a bitter pill to swallow.
We all need to hear it at some point in our lives. It’s what makes us a better person (or the point of it somehow). It’s what makes us realize and put things in perspective. It’s what makes us stop dead in our tracks, retrace our steps and then get to see a bigger picture.

Then there’s salt. Despite what everybody says about salt, a tiny amount of it is beneficial.

There’s a passage in the Bible where it says : You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. – Matthew 5:13

I think it’s saying that we always try give the best of ourselves in whatever we do.

I don’t think I want to lose this one.

Neither would I want to lose spicy and feisty.

So I would give up my sweet taste in exchange for a more, real, honest-to-goodness, tried and true, do or die sweetness. (So help me, God).

ice cream, summertime

And it’s you and me in the summertime
We’ll be hand-in-hand down in the park…
With a squeeze and a sigh
And the twinkle in your eye
And all the sunshine banishes the dark…

– Summertime, by The Sundays

It’s summertime again. I don’t know what is it with this season but it makes everything bearable for me. Just seeing a bit of a ray before sun calls it a day, makes me feel warm and thankful everyday.

It is also a time for ice creams. Aaahhh! I scream for ice cream! If I can bring in a new “wacky” flavor to ice cream, what would it be?

With a wide variety of ice cream flavors around and most my favorites already, like the pistachio, mango, ube (purple yam), melon, strawberry, raspberry, rocky road, butter pecan, mint chocolate chip, banana, orange, and classics like chocolate and/or vanilla, what else could there be?

Mixing my favorites with mango and melon as base, throw in crispy seaweed and pecan nuts and raspberries, drizzled with chocolate.

Sweeet! Yummmm!!!!

Now let’s taste test other people’s creations …

Computer, filet mignon please

Lunch break times have changed at work. I now eat earlier than before. So, it makes me hungry earlier too ;-). Finding myself feeling “famished” everyday, how I wish trains serve food as well as part of its service.

Just like when you get on a plane. But it need not come with the flight attendants, though I wouldn’t mind having them either 😉

It could be a help-yourself buffet vending machine type – a food replicator!

A perfect illustration of how I like it would be the one from Star Trek.

Here are a couple of pictures:

A “menu of the day” will be posted and one could choose from it (trains could only carry much, right?).
With only a few buttons to press or even just talking to it, food will magically appear.

What convenience! Wouldn’t that be nice? Oh, I could only dream on!
