Ambrosia served here - # 106


Ambrosia: the food of the gods. My wife and children tell me that I have godlike qualities. They use phrases like "Oh dear father, do not punish my minor foolishness by calling down thunder from the heavens", and "Oh dear husband, only you could introduce issues of cosmic complexity into the simple matter of weekly shopping". So, I know that they recognise my unique godly power.

This allows me my one ambrosial indulgence: two of the finest jam doughnuts in the universe purchased every Saturday at 07.30 hours from the finest local bakery on this minor planet only 800 meters from my divine abode.

  3. I look at them very quickly, because in my age after pure seeing those things my scales gets crazy. Have you noticed anything like that :)

  4. 2 bad boys! You are indeed a force to be reckoned with, perhaps approaching omnipotency, I, for one, bow down before thee...

  6. Hahahaha!! You should let us in on the secret of your powers. Everyone should possess such power of devotion.

    I noticed a design/animal print on the inside of your cup of tea. I believe it's a very English thing because I only see them in English tea mugs and tea cups. I think they are adorable.

  7. I guess you burn up the calories operating your pushmower? (Apropos "lawnmower" post over at Villigen).

  8. Any why was my mouth watering when I read your narrative? More godly qualities.

    Thanks for your visits to my blog and for your generous comments.

  9. I love jam doughnuts so much. At first I thought they were scones (also love them)....but this is just a gorgeous. Do they go really "squidge" when you bite into them?

  11. Is the creature pictured on your mug one of your loyal subjects? He seems to have an overabundance of arms, but he looks friendly. I'd like a friendly face like that on my morning mug.
