Loving your food!

If I were a fruit, I'd be a strawberry, a lone red and plump thing, demurely waiting to become someone's first bite, succulent reminder of all simple things that manage to become spectacular experiences.

No diets for me! (See how growing old changes your attitude?)

 In a few years, I'll have developed allergies, and respectable maladies that will limit my food choices. So, why temp Fate? If I can have strawberries and ice-cream, I will enjoy them with gusto.

My deepest fear as a senior citizen is ending up in a nursing home, a place where the food will smell and taste like left-over, overly reheated soup.  I want to be able to grow and cook my food, taste everything, enjoy and indulge in my favorites whenever I want.

And yes, in moderation.

Feeling good means being agile and flexible and strong.

Happy eating in 2011!
