Happy Anniversary- PauA + Kat + Oh Henry

 Are you adventurous 

 when it comes to eating different foods?

 Not this Kat.  

I prefer to be adventurous in other ways…

like ordering an outfit 

without checking the return policy

(got burned on that.) 


When I was younger, 
I was pretty finicky 
so 
I stuck mainly to processed foods.
 Fritos, Devil Dogs, and Oscar Mayer Bologna 
were the base of my food pyramid.
 Over the years, 
I branched out to include some nutrition. 
Today I am not as finicky, 
(PaulA might disagree.)
I can’t eat, 
or even look at 
some of the things PaulA can eat…
especially 
a fish that beats me in a staring contest.



Anywhoooo.....


Back many moons ago, 
the original moon…

I hardly ate anything during our honeymoon in Antigua. 
Nothing tasted like I was used to…
 the dairy,
the meat…
even the fruits and vegetables
 tasted differently. 

I also didn't like fish or seafood…
(although I would eat shrimp.) 
Unfortunately, I never saw shrimp listed on the menu.

Oh, 
but in the gift shop…
I found 
Oh Henry. 
You know, the chocolate bar with nuts…
the original protein bar. 
I was so thankful for my sweet savior.

So every couple of days,
 I'd hit the gift shop 
and stock up on Oh Henry bars. 
The bars had the same taste I was used to back in the States…
maybe a little staler,
 but they got me through our honeymoon.

The killer was on the very last moon 
of our honeymoon…
I asked the waiter, what the prawn was on the menu?
(pre-phones and pre-google)

He replied 
“shrimp.” 

Why didn't you say so,sirrrrrr?

Food aside, 
our honeymoon was perfect...
Adventuresome PauA + Finicky Kat…
Oh, and
Oh, Henry.

Happy 44th
 Wedding Anniversary
to this guy...

I couldn't love you more.
