What I Crave Today

You know, as you grow older, you go through changes.  We all know it to be so true.  One of the most irksome changes I've had to make is my diet.  Not the I-want-to-lose-weight kind either.  The diet I'm talking about is for health reasons.  So, no more milk products, pork chops or beef hamburgers.  Well, you get the picture.

Most days I do pretty well.  I've had to develop self control and discipline.  But sometimes - like today - I want to chuck it all and just dive, face forward, in a tub of homemade vanilla bean ice cream.  No, no, make that a banana split with all vanilla ice cream, strawberry topping on one side and that sweet, gooey walnut topping on the other.  And don't forget the whip cream and cherries with nuts generously poured two inches high.  That's the appetizer.

 Now, the entree.  How 'bout one long slab of pork ribs grilled to perfection, soaked in honey mesquite barbeque sauce so long that it would line the whole of one side of my dinner plate.  Adjacent to this majestic morsel would be some creamy (cooked with real cream) mashed potatoes, topped with melted butter that streams down the sides leading a trail to sweet, hot, and also oh so buttery corn on the cob.  So good that when you sink your teeth into it, the juices pop and run down your chin. 

Last on the entree is the vegetable, broccoli.  You thought I was gonna leave that out didn't you?  Nope.  I love me some broccoli...with hot melted cheese oozing to perfection, baby!! 

I think I'm giddy.

Would I have dessert?  Oh well, I won't overdo it - tehe.
