Smurf juice. LOL! I was thinking of that song by Jackson Browne, The Pretender. I don't remember the lyrics, just the song title. LOL!
I was thinking of the group The Pretenders.....

Never have listened to them, but I'm familiar with the group's name.
Gummy Bear candy doesn't count as nature's candy? Are they called Gummy Bears if they are fish? LOL!
YES! Fish & bear... they are good for us! Oh, wait........

I read today that grilling your meat can cause cancer. Of course, so can walking around in the air and breathing..........
I've read that too! I think we will probably die happy, ya think? I also think unforgiveness and worry makes us more ill than anything.
Margie, I just realized that my statement, of course, doesn't apply to everyone, like your husband. I was referring to something I read a long time ago that many in the hospital are there because of worry, etc., which, they said, attributed to their illness. I was thinking that I could agree with that, because I went through a very hard time a few years ago and became pretty ill. I had to change everything that I ate so that I could heal myself.

Isn't this the chocolate biscuits that Renda makes?
Southern Style Biscuits
Yield: 8- 3 1/2" biscuits
2 cups White Lily self rising flour
2 tbsp. cold shortening
6 tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces
3/4- 1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp. melted butter
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Put flour into a large mixing bowl. Fluff it gently and very briefly with a whisk. Add cold butter and shortening and cut into the flour with a pastry blender until pea-sized crumbs form. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until the liquid and dry ingredients are just combined (if your dough is too stiff, add 1-2 more tbsp. buttermilk). Turn the sticky dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 5 or 6 times and pat dough out flat with well floured hands to 1" thickness.
Before you cut the dough into rounds, be sure that your cutter has a sharp edge. This helps them to rise accordion-style with a distinctive flat top that will brown evenly. Also, press the cutter strait down into the dough without twisting. Twisting the cutter can make the biscuit misshapen and hinder rising and it bakes.
Bake for 15 -20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the biscuit tops with the 2 tbsp melted butter. Serve warm.
Chocolate Gravy
Yield: About 2 cups
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
In a medium sauce pan whisk together the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk and whisk vigorously to combine. Heat over medium-high until the mixture bubbles. Turn heat down to medium and stir until mixture has thickened to a gravy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
Let cool slightly then transfer to a gravy boat. Serve warm over buttermilk biscuits.
Cinnamon-Honey Compound Butter
2 sticks (1/2 lb) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tbsp honey
1 heaping tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
In a medium bowl, whip all ingredients together on low speed with a hand-held mixer. Pour mixture onto a length of parchment paper and roll into a log. Wrap butter and parchment in plastic wrap and let set for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Serve on warm biscuits or yeast rolls.
I use evaporated milk and don't add vanilla.
The chocolate French toast looks awesome!!
