I have a problem.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to a supermarket without adding a package of fatty porky goodness in my cart. Or approached a new menu without scanning first for a dish containing the “b” word. My weakness? An all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet.
Some might call it a obsession; my husband just accepts my problem and counts his blessings that my thrill is cheap. Because my fixation could have been diamonds, Gucci purses or something that would require a line of credit to fulfill.
But I think my addiction has rubbed off on a certain little someone who’s barely even tall enough to reach the goods at the buffet line.
And like any obsession … it starts with one.
But with enough focus, bravery, stretch and dexterity …
One can easily say, “Like mother, like son.”
What’s your food obsession? Come on—we all have one! Though I fully understand that yours may be healthier, like chickpeas or wheatgrass (which tastes like 5th grade phys-ed class field hockey rotation).
