A Few Of My Favorite Foods

I keep wishing and hoping for them, and I wonder if I will get to have them again

I’ve been exercising a lot lately and also keeping my food portions smaller. It’s not a vanity project, no way. I’ve got a health matter that necessitates myself getting to a healthier weight.

The downside of all this is that I think about food a lot more of the time. Sometimes I dream about it and that’s not helping my strategy at all.

I could go for some seafood right now. Seriously, I want some fried fish and lobster, plus some corn bread with butter, and maybe a crisp salad. Oh, I had fried fish and fries one time in London, but they call it “fish and chips” there, and that was a simple meal but so very fun.

We sure had a lot of fried fish in the South where I grew up, and all kinds of Southern cooking. And then every Friday we went to Grandma’s house for warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Oh, those were the days and I don’t know why we ever left that life that we had there.

Oh, and I really, that love Indian food. Seriously, I could have that so many times a month that you wouldn’t even believe it.

Maybe I got spoiled by the wonderful Naan and Curry restaurants in California, and maybe I can go again.

But regardless of why I like it, it’s true that I can’t wait to go back. I’m going to close my eyes for a moment and think back to being there with the great food and everybody waiting for the different dishes to be served. I can hear the noise and excitement and I miss those moments.

Oh, I miss having desserts too. My favorite is rocky road chocolate ice cream with bits of chocolate, small marshmallows and plenty of nuts.

That has always been my favorite dessert and I hope I get to have it again one day without worrying about the calories. It’s so very delicious!

I wish I had some right now and if I did I would eat as much as possible, which I know is not a good idea. But it’s all right to dream every once in a while. I hope so.

I miss the time when I could eat any kind of dessert and not worry about it one tiny bit. Those were the best days ever, my friend.

But for now, alas, I will take it day by day. A lot more exercise is on the agenda and a lot less food. It’s only for a little while, until I find the right balance again.
