So, picture this:
A lovely warm, sunny evening, sitting down to a great dinner with good friends, birds singing, the smell of barbeque in the air. AND...lurking inside a perfect shade of pink glass is....LEMONade!!!! Now, probably for most of you, this does not seem anything less than idylic. BUT, after quafting 2 glasses of this brew of the gods, I remember...CITRUS FRUITS are a GREAT laxative! HELP! Suddenly, there blows a chilling breeze, the birdsong turns to the terrifying cry of a hawk, and the aroma of the barbeque becomes the ominous twinges of a forest fire...
After the devastation, the evening returns to a soft warmth, the warble of an evening dove is heard, and the fragrance of night jasmine fills the air.
SORRY, but cigarettes have warnings, chemical bottles have cautions, why in the HECK don't the deadly lemons carry some script as to their POWER????? HUH??????
Have a great and glorious weekend, all!
Hugs, Kathi

    Kathi:

    Did anyone say laxative? I gotta go and get me some, right now. Large leondade please!

    Had my chemo run yesterday and that dose of Kytrol had me eyeing the leaves and tree bark for extra fibre. Lemonade sounds liek a much more delicious way!

    I think BBQ and especially grilled chicken should carry warning labels for the amount of carcinogen in them.

    Cheers,
    Ying

    Oh, Kathi, you are a hoot!!! If only lemonade or anything else would only "deliver" for me.

    Oh Bud,

    You're a stud muffin!!!

    Garlic?

    Undiluted lemon juice?

    My mouth is watering just from thinking about it. You must also have the whitest teeth!

    That is grrrrreat that you can tolerate it because garlic is a great cancer fighter! All all that V-C from the lemon.

    Whew! Wow!

    I am not worthy!
