Menu looks great as usual! I like your added notes to each.
When you go to the bread store do you ever see gluten free items?

Thank you Joy :)

I haven't seen any yet, but next time I go, I will ask her can she get it!

another note for you-
The Graham Granola Recipe you and I have? You can sub out the wheat flour for coconut flour and have a gluten free Granola for Little-Bit! ;-)

Thanks so much for the tip! I hadn't even thought of that I will be doing for sure!

Binary? Binary?
Oh what is that?!
Duality, duality
I now get that!

Half this, Half that
No substance in between
Dual identity
And doubly mean!

Ashteroth was astir
She it is that finds
Souls she can pervert
Minds she can blind

Yield, yield to pleasure
Was her wild scream
And yield you did and wandered
And she became your dream

Gloating as she went
She taught you the same
She didn’t tell you doing so
Would be your ultimate shame

Talking, talking, talking
To the wrong person you went
She set you up for disaster
With the little ear she sent

Useless to her are you
When you can’t keep up no longer
Her wrath for your shortcomings
I fear is so much stronger

Stronger than you did consider
When first the pot you stirred
Enamored in her lust
You couldn’t smell the stench that purred

Confession confession
You always somehow do
Don’t you know she set that up
To be the absolute ruin of you

To pick her over Him
Now that is a wonder
But perhaps these words
Will give you cause to ponder

Ponder, ponder, ponder
No more what she did and said
I encourage you rather
To think on His Words instead
