Seasonal Food

A friend writes: Why do we eat and drink so much this time of year? My clothes have shrunk and there’s still a week’s festivities to go. I spend half the year pigging out and the other half dieting. I was doing really well with my weight until a magnificent German bakery opened just 2 mins walk from my house, need I say more.

Answer: I know how you feel, German Bakeries are sadistic, but don't we love that sweet pain... my favourite is Cheese Cake... You know how some smoker claim to “I smoke but don't inhale?” Such a shame we cannot say “I eat but I don't swallow...”
