But it's true, I eat less and feel better when things are attractively presented.

It's considered eating.

Each morning I scoop a wee bit of peanut butter on a slice of rye toast and add sliced banana. It keeps me going through the morning at school. I will think on how to dress it up a bit. I hope you have lots of wonderful sunshine this weekend.

Flower blossoms, dark green parsley, cut citrus wedges, or whatever you have that is appropriate for the dish. And when you do this for yourself with no company around, your simple meal gains instant elevation.<br /><br />Your fruit salad looks mouthwatering!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-3091815138180493462014-02-21T13:54:20.820-08:002014-02-21T13:54:20.820-08:00While I don't ALWAYS work on food presentation...While I don't ALWAYS work on food presentation, I do think it is very important and have been taking more care in that regard. On the other hand, I would never eat out of a tub or cardboard box, or on a paper plate-no matter what I am eating. I'm a firm believer in a cloth or place mat and proper dishes and table settings.

While I don't follow my imaginary rules of making sure it looks nice etc I do waiver between eating out of tubs but also getting out my good porcelain and making things look pretty. I think the care taken makes food taste better subliminally!Coulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-5010388766680493692014-02-21T13:02:45.061-08:002014-02-21T13:02:45.061-08:00Yum!
