As I mentioned before, PDub and I live from meal to meal. While eating breakfast, we discuss what we will be doing for lunch. I wasn't always like this, for when I was growing up and in college, I would be so busy that I would often forget to eat at all. PDub has changed my diet and made me fall in love with food (and cooking).
Like most Americans, I have a love/hate relationship with food. As Jenna Marbles once compared, Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" song isn't about a male/female relationship (or female/female, male/male....whichever you prefer) but instead about a human/food relationship. During my day, everything will be going great with yogurt and juice for breakfast, but then I start craving me some McNuggets. I may make it through the day successfully without giving into my unhealthy cravings, but there's always the stress of tomorrow's meals. In addition to my three meals, I usually have an afternoon snack. I'll sit down with a fat free bag of pretzels, and before you know it, I've eaten half the bag. The guilt and regret I feel!
Recently, PDub declared he was going to cut down on his portion size. The night he started, we ate, and then I went to bed while he watched the basketball playoffs. Shortly after I laid down, I heard him open a bag of potato chips and French onion dip. Food! What is this relationship we have? A give and take. And we all go through it....we all have to eat! So in honor of this close relationship I have with food, I proclaim Tuesdays as Tastey Tuesdays where I will share my trials, tribulations, and love for food (and cooking).
