Even though I choose each week’s photos for Friday’s 40-or less Photo Challenge, I have no idea what my response will be until I start writing a few days later.
Today’s? NOT the direction I thought this would go! I was waxing nostalgic about diners and family dinners and "variety is the spice of life" and good and evil and salt of the earth stuff–not a touch of the insane with a poem trumpeting the virtue of salt and pepper!
Oh, well, que será será…I’ve certainly written crazier.
This week, instead of using Mr. Linky, just leave a comment on this post and I’ll compile a list below. If you’re new to Friday’s 40, click the badge for details and this link for samples of previous challenges; then, please feel free to respond with a post of your own!
Popcorn’s attire
Pretzel’s glory
Potato chip’s best friend.
Salsa’s story
Spicy to the end
Failing to defend
Season, more-y
Out? Now I’m chagrined!
Let’s see what others had to say (be sure to check out comments, too):
Jan, The Prytz Family
Peculiar, How Do We Get There From Here
Karisma, Karisma & Kids
Storyteller, Sacred Ruminations
Amber, Imperishable Beauty
Very nice as always Robin. Here’s mine as promised:
He’s dependable.
She’s spice and surprise.
He dances like a white boy.
She knows how to bump and grind.
He’s a square.
She can be coarse.
He likes everyone.
She chooses friends carefully.
Don’t they look cute in matching outfits?
DARLING!
That is so stinkin’ good. I could never make salt and pepper sound that interesting. 🙂
Very clever ode to these spices.
Do I just leave you a comment or was I supposed to leave the post that’s on my blog (or my 40 words) here in your comments?
Stephen, V e r y nice personification of my little pair; glad you choose to chime in this time around! (BTW, get a writing blog again, will ya?)
Megan & Karen, Y’all win the Twitter Prize!! Thanks for the visit & nice words :).
Jan, anytime someone calls something I’ve written “clever”, I smile. Thanks for that.
Peculiar, yes ma’am, leave any kind of comment here, and I’ll know to follow your link back, in order to link it here :).
I quite enjoyed your spicy little ditty today. I’m a little later than I’d like … but my 40PC for this week’s prompt is posted (along with my HF#50 and OSI Week 17) at Sacred Ruminations. Initially I drew a blank, but eventually my mind ran in a different direction as it so often does. I hope you’ll find time to drop by.
Hugs and blessings,
Oh Very quirky! I love it! You have such a way with words.
Mines been up since Thursday night I just forgot to come and link up!

Mine’s up.

Storyteller, Karisma and Amber, it’s a small group this week, but that’s not always bad–at least it’s “easy” to get to everyone! Thanks for throwing yours into the hat this week.
🙂
The original “mixed” couple. Nice.
