Over a month without this..
That's hard.. who needs the devil, my stomach is the devil lol
That's pretty close, I think.
You're right! Gluttony is one of the so-called seven deadly sins.
omg... did you eat the whole plate?
I barely touched it at the restaurant (it was not what I thought I had ordered). But I took it home and ate ot over the next several days.
"Devil" also makes us worship "God". :) .
What do you say, @onceuponatime ? :)
Khalil Gibrans's "Satan" is a percept worth reading :)
Thank you. I must look that up. I hadn't heard of it before. But I do think that Judas, whom almost all Christians revile, was the most beloved of Jesus and the one who was given the hardest task to perform in the drama.
Very true, Judas had the toughest role. The role of the "initiator / game changer".
And what about Lucifer. He too was once a beloved of God, @onceuponatime.
God and Devil, - they are so linked and interlocked !
Black & White are just two colours, in my opinion.
Seen from the right perspective , they both serve to move the Universe forward.It is all about timing and quantity.
In a small measure, drug is medicine. In excess, medicine is poison.
Love smothers. Hate suffocates. But KILL, they both.
They both have great potential to kill :D :D
I have heard say that we are third force blind.
Holy Affirming. Holy Denying. Holy Reconciling.
😁😎.... I love HOLY RECONCILING ! Makes life much easier :D :D
This is why we need the third eyes to open ! Awakening, my child ! :D :D
In the entire pendulum between God and Devil, I forgot it is Easter !
Wish you a very Happy Easter, @onceuponatime. May a new cycle of success unfold for you. Lots of happiness and prosperity to you. It is a genuine wish.
Upvote not needed for heartfelt wishes. :)
Just a good wish from one soul to another :)
Here is a tiny Faberge Easter Egg for you. Reconciliation between Devil & God. Wealth and Divinity .
May you find what your soul seeks, @onceuponatime !
You are very kind!
thank you so much. @onceuponatime :) ... You are kind too. And very wise. It is always great to interact with you :)
I gave up alcohol for Lent. I started out giving up sweets too, but that didn't last long : { One time I tried to give up coffee and my head fell off. I had a couple of cups and recovered and swore not to try quitting again any time soon. Alcohol is easier to skip for 6 weeks.
That's true.
Thank you for the reply and upvote!
I am totally agree with you my friend about the Devil thing because sometimes Devil's also made me do these kinds of things.
@uovted & @resteemed.
If you think the Devil is bad, you should see some of the things my accountant makes me do :-)
Its hurt my feelings because my major is Accounting.
You should have resisted it. It's still not late. You can still salvage it. Ouzo!
You are so wise!!!
you mean like King Solomon? 😃😃
No,like Groucho Marx
Not a good idea. I want to be wise like King Solomon😃
Πολύ νηστεία πέφτει!
P.s.: twiceuponatime is talking shit behind your back 😱😱😱😱😱
You wouldn't believe some of the shit he does that I end up getting blamed for. There is no such thing as Justice :-)
I think he is just jelly because your steem power is bigger than his 🤗🤗
Yeah, he's good at spending, not so good at earning!
God will forgive us! Hand me a plate! Thanks @onceuponatime
I know , eh. It's so convenient that God is forgiving :-)
@onceuponatime,
Hope you got an extra plate to share half! Not with devil, but with a devil who lives inside of my stomach :D
Cheers~
Those sins that we commit in our soul incomparably more terrible than eating meat during fasting. But however other priests may have other, more stringent requirements. But even if you are not allowed to Communion - do not worry too much, take it as God's warning about the need to be more careful in the future (and not just in food) :)
I was told that it is not so much what goes in to your mouth that counts, but what comes out of your mouth.
Where is tour dessert? :P
I wasn't on tour :-)
Appetizers, main (devil) dish, dessert, digestives are a tour by themselves... so... did you have the full tour or what? :)
When the plate arrived, after a very long time, it was not what I had thought I had ordered. Being unable to recover from my shock, and having curbed my appetite anyway on bread, beer, and a dip, I asked them to pack it up and took it home after tasting only one or two pieces. Or was it my conscience got the better of me?
Luckily I'm part Irish and under the protection of several key blessings, one of which is: "May you be half an hour in Heaven before the Devil even knows you're dead.". Another one has something to do with what to say to St. Peter at the entrance gates in order to get through.
As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery....
...it is the experience on the road of Greek food that matters...
May, more Irish Blessings keep you well as you set out on this and other roads... :)
So, in essence, that's a Greek blessing to give me more Irish blessings? Cool!
Hmm, so I guess you can claim to be fasting from healthy food? :P
Hey, would you like to be my lawyer?
If you pay me in beers and souvlakia, sure! :P
The currency of the realm is ouzo.
I accept payments in this currency as well ;)
Keep an eye on me to make sure I don't add water and blame it on "inflation" :-)
Yummmzzz, very tasty and spicy food, by the way, what's name is it ?
I didn't ask. What shall we call it?................
Alright! Awesome Song :)
Epic looking meal and makes me want a date with the devil too... can I have his number?
666
bwahahah!
Halo @lilycampbell! Kami telah upvote yah..
I think it's so delicious, can I join? :D
I'm not good at sharing :-)
Don't you share even when you have a beautiful woman's company? Or will you think about it? :D
I find that there are very few beautiful women that don't just block my view when I am eating :-)
I know, I know, what a jerk I am. I am afraid that is the bad influence that @twiceuponatime has on me. Or else it's that damn Devil again. You pick.
Can we both commit this sin together, sir?
Are you being sincere?
Laughing so hard
He's a demon who really loves eating
It seems to be delicious food
good choice
Good choice of demon? Did I have a choice?
Haha devil in stomach but food comes only from God... Looks mouthwatering though.. whats it?
It's my downfall. The broad path to perdition.
hahaha are you living now? i wsnt to know who is that devil? why he/she made food for you?
hahahaha! this evil killed you man!
That's why i am @starving
I'm glad that it's not because you have worms :-)
There is no virtue without temptation. So that's good!
George Bernard Shaw had said:
"Virtue is insufficient temptation."
I'm pretty sure he was a socialist. Virtue is it's own reward.
So virtue outweighs the devil ...
I have no idea how much she weighs :-)
Before or after the meal?
They devil? Then you should pass it out. I'll gladly help in the devouring. Lol
I can't be doing the Devil's work. I will have to save you from it by keeping it all for myself :-)
Congratulations @onceuponatime!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
If Devil encouraged you to do this then i would love to follow Devil :P :D
Sometimes you work more effective than my blood pressure dose to control my BP :D ( Yes i am talking about the laughing therapy you provided through this post :D
Laughter is the best medicine.
well i guess no one can resist the resisting force :D
Holy Affirming, Holy Denying, Holy Reconciling
I wana be the devil too, this food can starts wats, once upon a time there was a war on food ;)
You can be the devil's advocate.
i m not goin to blame him... lol
What an asshole.
The name of the devil was really amazing, a very nice name. I think the food is very tasty. You can not end up eating so much, I seem to have come too ha ha :D
Such a lazy panda :-)
The Devil was right :)
Enjoy
A fool who persists in his folly becomes wise :-)
I see cholesterol taking shape of a POTATO WEDGE, laughing loud and trying to grab me and be sucked inside the desktop for ever.
AUHAUHAUHAUHAUAHUAH
Fine, fine, I am just too inspired today :D
Every day!
Lucious! Glad to see you are treating yourself with grandeur! Namaste :)
What about Lent?
Ohmygod hahahaha, is all of it for you? That looks like happiness on a plate.
Well, I suppose that I could share some with you (but only after Easter. I don't want to be responsible for your downfall).
Well thanks! <3 I don't mind the downfall though, down is where all the party is.
Why is the Devil your motivator? The food looks simply divine!
That is the unanswerable question: Why?
Because in my country there is such an expression, if the food is very tasty, then they say about it "it is the food of the Gods." So your delicious dish (is it meat and potatoes?) it seems to me worthy to be called divine. And I forgot, of course, that fasting is in many religions now, and so you're talking about the Devil, ha ha, now everything's in place. As for me, I'm not very religious. I believe in the power of Nature and the human heart.
Even nature knows that fasting is good for us though :-)
Whoa!! I can't blame you! Looks like Heaven in a dish, the Devil knows nothing about that.
"My, my, my," said the spider to the fly.
What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. (Some Charles Addams guy said that. I was never that bright.)
Hahahahaha. Even I would be tempted he I see this.
Oh no! Not you!
The devil today served me a delicious souvlaki :) it was not my fault 0:)
I know. It would have been rude to refuse, right?
Exactly.. And I'm a kind person so... I ate it :)
Kindness is next to godliness :-)
Then..Oopsie..
Being a chef I can confirm it is really hard to resist such a beauty! Wow! So mouthwatering and very well prepared too!
That grilled duck liver...hmmmm!
I think that chefs have a special place in Heaven.
Haha temptation is everywhere!
Tell me about it!!!
But I'm sure you didn't eat any of that right? XD XD
Haha.
I don't think the devil had to convince you for too long.
That reminds me of when my son was about 7 yrs old, he came running and crying to me, because his dad made him eat the ice cream, after I told them they should not have any ice cream at that particular time.
Enjoy @onceuponatime.
Just got hungry.
Hey, are you saying the Devil is my father?
I think the devil has taken you to the heaven this time!!!!!!! ha ha..Hope you enjoyed every bit of it!!!
-cheers-
He's a sly fellow.
But hope you were smart enough to get through him!!!
-cheers-
oh my God! This is mouth-watering. Share some please. Especially the flesh!!
a woman of the flesh are you?
Exactly! When the flesh is an edible one!
Sorry, that's too creepy for me :-)
Oh myyyyyy!!! You are a sinner!!!
I think you should try at least 1 week before Easter to Lent; so your sin will be forgiven! 😯
Just kidding, this is a personal choice and it shouldn't be considered a sin!
Besides, It is hard to keep up with it! 😉
I can't even keep up with you :-)
No, I don't believe that for a second!!! 😎
You are so nice to say so anyway :-)
Always stating my truth ☺!!!
Nighty night!
Go, and sin no more. Your sins are forgiven. Hahaha
Go? Where?
Anywhere...that won't lead to another sin or temptation. Your sins are forgiven. Hahahaha
Are you sorry
Would you forgive me?
Yes
Sucker!
I will always follow your post
Is that plantain or potatoes? Maybe I can come over I have a map, I can locate you hahah
It's at least potatoe, maybe even pot-nine-toe
Hahahaha thats a new one
A terrible, terrible thing this is.
I'm sorry that you had to suffer this torture.
Terrible, terrible thing.
Which ring of Dante's Inferno do you think I deserve?
Well, the logical answer would be, the Third Circle (Gluttony) but considering that you were forced to do it, I would say, the First Sphere of Heaven or (the Moon).
What do you think?
To the MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha, I figured it.
Oh my, my....Maistrali?😲
Somewhere in Corinth.
There is 50% devil in every angel and vice versa.
Wonderful.
Xaxaxaxaaaaaaa...together we will burn in hell..
I ate the same food on Saturday... 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my God! You didn't!
I did it..😀
I guess it worth the sin.
Doesn't it?Looks delicious actually.If only i could have some of it now....
The wages of sin are death :-)
That is inevitable....unfortunately.
