"Part of the secret of
success in life is to eat what you like
and let the food fight it out inside."
and let the food fight it out inside."
And Mark Twain couldn't have said it better. It goes without saying that no matter where you are, food will always be around to nourish as well as to comfort, and admittedly, I am a great lover of food. I'm not a picky eater primarily because my mother was a very good cook so I was okay with anything and everything she'd put on the table, except vegetables. I was a carnivore. That's why when I first got the news that I had to kinda ease off meat because of the growing problem with my heart and basically my health, I felt like going on a fit. My food intake was fairly diminished as well, quantity-wise. I could still have my fill of meat - pork, my favorite chicken and beef, which I thankfully don't really have a fondness for - with more helpings of fish, fruit, and dreadful, tasteless veggies. Everything also had to lean more towards low fat. Highly enraged with my sudden limitations, I vented out on a good friend for comfort and what I got was a boink in the head as he reminded me of the so many options available now, especially veggie-wise. All he said I had to do was to open my eyes and actually see, for the only one limiting myself is really me. In all fairness, he's right. So 10,000 rants and over a year later, I now realize there really is a lot of healthy goodness to rave about.
This is an almost all-vegetable blog with a dash of meaty goodness all served on
A Fresh New Plate.
