? ENJOY YOUR FOOD
When you’re in a hurry, you don’t chew, and instead you gobble your food down
. If you want to enjoy it, you have to take time. I don’t remember the taste of what we were eating while serving in the Navy, we just wolfed it down
and that’s it. Now I can afford to eat out
every day, but my wife likes to eat in
and I have to admit she has a knack for
cooking! On Saturday mornings, we usually send out for
fish sandwiches and a nice tiramisu cake. Sometimes our friends call us, and we have them round
and serve up
something special. While I’m barbecuing, my wife slices pizza up
and lets everyone help themselves to
what they want.
I know that Mike and Jenny, our neighbours, cut meat out
entirely from their diet. They both have gastric ulcers and meat causes stabbing pains in their stomachs. It does not agree with
them, so my wife usually cooks steamed vegetables and chicken for them. That goes well with olives and lettuce. I think we have to follow them if we want to feel healthier. They say a lot of raw vegetables can fill me up
even though I suspect it’s not true, but my wife thinks vegetables can help her stay slim and she won’t put on
weight. She says I can put away
three steaks, a pizza and some beer in one meal, and it’s unhealthy. Of course, it’s much better be off picking at a salad for half an hour pretending it’s so delicious. Oh, those women!
