Solar System Mnemonic Needs To Be Changed

Actually, someone told me recently that there is some debate as to bringing Pluto back as a planet. I didn't use a mnemonic to memorize them, so am not troubled by this, but CB has two great suggestions.
I did use mnemonics to learn the notes on the treble and bass staffs, though. Thankfully no one is going to vote any of them off, so if I still needed them, I'd be safe (but don't).
I was taught these two:My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas
and the much more accurate (at the time)
My very educated mother just showed us nine planets
I was always confused as to why her level of education had anything to do with her serving of pizza.
I still think removing Pluto was stupid, and their definition of what constitutes a planet is ludicrous.

My very educated mother just served us nine pickles.
Since Pluto is no longer regarded as a planet, she needs to have served us something other than pickles.
There have been some dwarf planet discoveries since Pluto was removed from the planetary roster.
So I would like to add Eris, Goblin and Farout to the mnemonic which might now read as:
My very educated mother just served us nine excellent gefilte fish.
Any other proposals?
