I love the movie "Julie & Julia". What is better then watching Meryl Streep cooking and eating? Nothing! And that brings me to my on going diet problem ... I love to cook and eat. But not rabbit food, I love thick cheesy meaty heavy chocolaty creamy sweet savory nutty hearty ... ANYTHING !
Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, french toast with maple syrup and butter, bread ... any kind of bread. I love the smell of fresh anything being baked. It makes me feel all homey inside.
Whenever we have a party it's guaranteed everyone will end up in the kitchen. Eating, talking, gossiping. It all happens in the heart of the home. When we finally make it to the table, either in the dining room or out on the patio (my fav) the love affair continues. The mismatched dishes, the mason jars turned vases. Cheese and bread served on cutting boards. All so rustic.
Food. Everybody needs it. Some of us more then others. So ... why is something that is such a part of our lives so bad for us? Well not bad for us as in smoking but the phrase that comes to mind is "To much of a good thing".
So how does one learn to live with moderation? I've been asking that since my first piece of chocolate. And I guess that's where I need to start. But tomorrow. I'm having dinner with friends tonight. And you never start a diet before a dinner party, so rude.
