#6: Saturday lunch
a late lunch, early dinner
after a day of work;
overtime was easy to
get, needed the distraction.
a full belly clapped in
appreciation, my legs
buckled twenty minutes
after–naptime knocked at
my temples, rest found
me in a zone.
I needed the food.
I needed the sleep.
Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?
I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with a previous place of employment, as it pertains to racism and discrimination, growth from the transition after resigning from that company, and life’s foibles and overall experiences. I welcome your visit.

Good food and a good nap is all we need sometimes.

Now see? I went to olive oil and avocado oil decades ago, NOW, I gotta get some CRISCO before I can cook the fish sitting in the freezer or I’ll get a gigantic case of FOMO! See what you started!
LOL! Happy Sunday!

Haha! I know! I had a hankering to use Crisco to fry my fish. I have not used Crisco in AGES. LOL. I want to say since I was at least in my late teens, early 20s. LOL. And it was absolutely DELICIOUS! Let me know how it is when you fry your fish. LOL!

Crisco! I haven’t bought Crisco in ages. But I also haven’t fried anything in years either. I usually buy my fried foods because I hate the smell of frying food at home. I know that fish was good! Looks delicious.😋

🤣😂😆 Yes, ma’am, it was! I hate the smell as well, but I don’t fry foods often, so it works out for the best. Thankfully.

WOW. The crisco is a serious throw back from the past.

Haha! Yes! I was at work earlier today, and I knew I was going to have fish and grits, but I wanted to use Crisco instead to fry the fish.
It was perfect!
