Buckwheat Pillows

BUCKWHEAT NECK PILLOW

     “What in the world,” you ask, “do buckwheat pillows have to do with turnips and peanut butter?” Well, nothing, really. Except that I have a cousin, Rochelle, who asked me, out of the blue, if I liked turnips with peanut butter on them. I looked at her like she was crazy and she said “You ought to try it. It’s really good, even though it doesn’t sound very good.”

     I said, “Well, I’ll take your word on that one.” That meant I wasn’t about to try it. However, curiosity got the best of me. Just today my wife, Doris, bought some fresh turnips, because she knows I love cooked turnips. I sliced off a slice of turnip, and got out the jar of peanut butter.

     Guess what! It’s delicious. My cousin, Rochelle, was at a party where they served these turnip and peanut butter things as hours devours. Now I’m a believer.

     Okay, back to the question “What do buckwheat pillows have to do with turnips and peanut butter?”

     Are you starting to get the picture, yet? The turnips and peanut butter didn’t sound like such a good idea, but once I tried it, I found out it really is delicious.

     Maybe you think buckwheat pillows don’t sound like such a good idea, but you really should try them. You might be surprised, like I was when I tried the turnips and peanut butter. I would still think that was a crazy idea if I hadn’t tried it, but I did, and I’m the better off for it.

     Try them, you’ll like them - buckwheat pillows, that is. Maybe turnips and peanut butter, too. But get the buckwheat pillows first.
