PAGE~ 6, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1974, WIIITBY FREE PRESS BIRD 'S EVE J/M OUA Il It's the SmeII that gets me As the old saying goes - if you think my refrigerator looks grim - you ain't seen nothin' yet! From rny mouldy refrigerator is whiere the ingredients corne frorn to make the lunches I have to take to work. Well I don't have t0 actually take a lunch to work but they're getting a litîle suspicîous down at the Salvation Army soup uine. Before you can get a meal you have to listen to an hour sermon and when you only have an hiour for lunch you -have the choice of being saved and going hungry or being a sinner with a full stomach. But usually I take my lunch becau'se you just can't beat a little mouldy home cooking. Late at nîght or early in the morning when I make the lunch I tend 10 forget the purpose of the whiole affair and l'm sure my subconscious really thinks l'M just packing garbage mbt a bag. In fact, some days it's 50 bad that around lunch time I have to take a good look after the first fewv bites to make sure l'mi not really eating the garbage. The Canada Fitness Council would have a field day analyzing my lunches. I wonder if they have ever really tigured out how miuch nutritional value there is ini six-week old bananas. 1 guess o)Id bread mnust be fairly nutritional and I know for sure if's good for the teeth. On miy last trip 10 tlhe dentist, when the examination wvas over lie looked at me and remarked on liow strong miy teeth were and it looked like I hiad been chiewing a lot of toughi bories. 1 told him I1 had been miaking miy own lunches lately and he nodded with a knowing reply. lsn't it crazy how lunches go together?? What seemis like a perfect combination the nighit before can be terrible when lunch time actually cornes. One recent lunch, the Iight was out over the couniter so 1tjust dîdn't worry about il and hurried together a lunch. A fellow wurker asked me what I had in my lunch that day and I said I wasn't sure because I had packed it in the dark. It turned out to be Girl Guide sandwiches with two month old Girl Guide cookies. They weren't bad 1 guess but they should have been on brown bread. I figured mashed potatoes and leftover liver wouidn't be too bad eiîher but il turned out the bread was so stale that every lime 1 bit down the mashed potatoes would ooze out one side and dribble in my beard. 1 couldn't have that because some fool wouid see me and figure I was frothing at the rnouth and run away yelling, "Mad newsman!" At counicîl meetings it might happen but l've neyer been known 10 froth at the mouth during lunch. I think my body is finally geltîing conditioned to home- mnade lunches. Just think about your favourite treat food I think wi th a side woîf down my favourite lunch is spaghetti sandwiches order of pickled beets. For dessert 1 usually a few leftover Halloween candies and I polish the whole thing off with lernonade and a couple of tums. Because 1 tend to use up whatever is left in the fridge that still isn>t crawling with mould too badly 1 find il is difficult 10 wrap rmy lunches. Pickles always ieak no malter hiow tighitly I wrap tiemn. Usually the garlie dilîs will leak mbt the banana sandwiches and occasionally they will even infest the donuts. I gave a donut 10 a friend one day and lie took one bite and asked what tlhe "H..." lie was eating. I told himin i was just an ordinary' two week old donut withi the mould scraped off and he wanted t0 know why it tasted like a kosher dili piekle. What could I say? I had t0 tell him i1 was Jewish. It was the only explanation he'd believe. You may be getting the feeling by now that 1 don't enjoy my lunches but that's not completely true. Actually I kind of look forward to the challenge of surviving another afternoon after eating my lunch and the Bromo people are making a fortune off me. Now if I could only do somie- thînk about the awful smell when 1 first open the bag .. New minister For Westminster The Rev. Eric A.
