Do you have any mustard?

orange juice, liver and onions

There's hunger in my belly
and a thirst within my throat.

Peanut butter and jelly,
a mash of raisins and oats.

"Often, I open the door
of the refrigerator
and look inside for such things
as peace, comfort, hope, or love."

eggs, milk, broccoli, apples,
or'nges, grapes, lettuce, parsley,
asparagus, green peppers,
ramen noodles, spaghetti,
tomato sauce, hamburger,
chicken, cheddar cheese, donuts,
carrots, hotdogs, table salt.

"Who will help me grind the wheat?"

"Not I," said the Fox, "Not I."
