Food Habits

I’m about to have a final dessert for the evening.

Cottage Cheese and Brown Sugar!!

Now, for most the mixture looks like mud warmed up . . . or a dampened pig sty.  Personally I’m reminded of a caramel latte (which I never drink) seated in front of an appreciative Starbucks customer! 

Of course, the reason I eat this delectable morsel is my mother’s coaching.  When I was young we would consider this a delicacy – eaten every once in a while.  Not often, just often enough. 

My father ate tomatoes with sugar (I’ve never quite succumbed!).  Cheese Whiz on celery was a great late night snack.  Or lunch hour with pickle and cheese sandwiches.

My wife has now had me eating her culinary delights for over 35 years.  My tastes have broadened and I must say I enjoy all sorts of food.

But she still won’t eat cottage cheese and brown sugar.  That heavenly dish may have to wait to be shared with her until we reach heaven.  But until then, off to the great comfort food of the ages!!!
