Green Stuff? Not a Prayer!"WHEN we were first married, my husband, Ed, was strictly a 'meat-and-potatoes' man," relates Sharon S. from Parker, Colorado. "Over the years, he's learned to like more foods, but there are still two vegetables he won't eat. My family likes to tease him about it.
"One year at a holiday gathering, Ed got the last laugh when he gave this tongue-in-cheek blessing:
"Now we sit to eat what's here; we pray no green stuff will appear. No Brussels sprouts or any such, and asparagus, Lord, would be too much. But give us meat that's white or red, and potatoes, corn and lots of bread. Some good brown gravy wouldn't hurt, and to top it off, some pie for dessert."
