Thought for March 2006

I've had a few emails asking where was my thought for the month so here we go due to popular demand:

Saw a new TV show on Saturday where Nigel Slatter talks to celebs about the food
that they most remember in their lives.

It got me thinking about mine and what dishes mean anything to me.

I suppose it goes back to when I was child and we always had a roast on a Sunday.

All the great combinations

Chicken and stuffing
Pork and Apple sauce
Lamb and mint sauce
Beef and Yorkshire Puddings

During the week

Fish simply cooked
hotpot with potatoes that would soak up the gravy

Desserts such as

Apple Pie and custard.
Crumble and Custard.
Home made cakes.

Then at college

Curries, Thai.
Chinnese food.

What do you notice about the above?

Yes thats right not any Low fat food recipes there!

What I'm trying to get at it what have you eaten recently that you would say in years looking
back, yea that was a great dish? A lot of low fat food stuff just is not good enough.

I cant think of a single one that I would eat if it was my last day on the planet!

But before you give up on your diets or stop watching what you eat, remember moderation is the key.

Why not be very good during the week and at weekends treat yourself to something you always considered to be a favourite. Not only will it make you feel better but if it's a treat you will appreciate it more.
