FLAVOR vs. Deprivation
Hi gang…..I’m so happy to see such great postings in this group.
Subjects have gotten lots better since the “merger”.
Anyway, I’ve noticed that Herbs & Spices would enhance
the flavor of just plain foods which are H.B. or day-in, day-out
staples.
I’ve used “star anise”, lots of green onions & ginger,
sheep cheese (is that still a neutral????),
fresh lemon, red peppers, red onions….ETC.
lots of “condiments”…well, I consider the above fresh condiments.
It’s also great to have back-up for temptations:
for example,
my hunny had “Tombstone Pizza” for dinner, and I did feel deprived.
Yet, I asked myself, “do I really want to eat that”?
Answer, was “NO, but what”?
Decided on having neutrals (because that’s what I craved for),
so I ended up with 2 slices of Ryvita crackers & hazelnut butter.
And I was a “happy camper”, (less than 20% neutrals)
