In response to Heavenly Chocolate Frosting

I suppose that if one doesn't go to church there still has to be a way to make sense of what happens to us when we die. Thinking that the afterlife would contain the perfect Chocolate Frosting is a good start. I believe that with all that sweetness there should be some salt as well... maybe some cheddar sour cream Ripples, or honey roasted almonds.

Heaven for others may be some home made oatmeal bread fresh out of the oven and smothered with butter. My youngest was full of dinner when i brought out the bread. She then begged for a piece. I asked her if she was full or not. She said "I'm full of THIS" (pointing at what was left of her dinner), but never full enough for fresh warm bread for "dessert." That's my youngest. She is just like her dad.

My eldest, however, would have a different version of heaven. Not that she doesn't like chocolate frosting, cheddar sour cream Ripples, honey roasted almonds, or fresh baked bread. But, she would be in eternity happily munching on carrots, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and apples. It's simple. There is nothing fancy about her - no cooking, no lists of ingredients, no mixing until smooth and creamy, no waiting.

Heaven for me is not having to make everyone else's perfect food.

I do go to church and the thought there is that food won't matter. HA! I can't imagine. The thought is that we will have no hunger (as if food has anything to do with that), that we will have no fear, we will know no coldness, or discomfort, that we will be connected to God and will have no needs. I suppose this is good--especially considering the alternative. yes, the possibly man-made scare tactic of h. e. double toothpicks. THERE, it would be liver, burnt toast, and undercooked chicken thighs.
