Eat To Live Or Live To Eat

Grandpa said you work hard all day to do to yourself some good.... So, what you think as priory in your pay, is a well deserved dish of good food! For the less fortunate; one square meal. And for the well off; another day's feast! In diet classes, I say it’s not a big deal to decline your favorites to have fat decreased! At home, I sit with a well garnished pizza “extra cheese”. a large chunk of ‘Black Forest cake’ to follow and a glass of wine, selected and chilled, please. I can't help, my stomach is an ever growing hollow! So, do what I say but don't do what I do. Rational on duty but mad for a ‘biryani”, spicy and hot! Strong to my audience, but weak with a pint of home brew. Excuse me, friends, I can’t resist much my cooking pot! 28/06/16 Honorable mention for contest I love food by Lewis Raynes (29/06/16)
