"I hope there's food in heaven." That was my thought last night as I started in on my bowl of Tagalongs ice cream. (Yes, Tagalongs ice cream: vanilla ice cream filled with Tagalong cookies and peanut butter and fudge ripples. It's like heaven in a bowl.) Food is definitely one of the best things about being mortal. Sure, there are some foods that aren't at all tasty—fish and all their cousins should stay in the ocean and raisins should never be allowed in cookies, for example—but for me anyway, life would be pretty boring without lots of tasty goodness. Who would want to live forever without lasagna, Reese's Puffs, spaghetti with my mom's homemade sauce, french fries, Oreo milkshakes, In-N-Out burgers, Dole pineapple whips, Disneyland churros, nice juicy steaks, strawberries, macaroni and cheese, Girl Scout cookies, pork burritos, teriyaki chicken, hot chocolate, cold chocolate, and any chocolate in between? Nobody in their right mind, that's who.
Now, maybe there's something even better than food waiting for us on the other side. Who knows? And maybe those people who weren't quite so good on earth will be subjected to an endless ward party, complete with salad pre-drenched in Ranch dressing and croissants stuffed with that icky chicken-grape-celery concoction drowning in the white goop people called mayonnaise. (What a way to ruin croissants. And chicken. And grapes. And even celery.) Anyway, I'm going on the hope that there will be food forever—and that it'll be even better in heaven because I'll be able to eat a whole carton of Tagalongs ice cream without having to follow it with 45 minutes on my elliptical.

Mmm. Now I'm craving teriyaki chicken. And strawberries with chocolate, even though I had those yesterday (and they were good).
I think most people will agree with you that eternal bliss is going to have to involve tasty pleasures.
OK but there is good food in the ocean. Strawberries dipped in chocolate ya. Tagalongs in ice cream I don't know. I hope there is some kind of good food in the hereafter. Especially that without calories that is very tasty. You are alright there, Have a good one
I love it! But honestly now you are making me hungry for a good croissant filled with that goopy stuff called mayo and chicken and grapes and some other good spices. OH our local grocery store makes it with pecans... YUM To each their own. Samoas are the only GS cookies I will eat. But the way you talk about that tagalong mix up - its making me want some ice cream! OH and WHO in their right mind would pre-drench a salad with RANCH?
I love the idea of those who aren't so good here are going to be subjected to a non-stop ward potlucks. HATE THEM! I hate every aspect of them! Its a good punishment in my mind! I better shape up. I wouldn't want that life!
That is a splendid list of food, if I've ever heard one.
