The Snack

What snack would you eat right now?

A short story about a woman who is on a tight schedule of working,planning and researching recipes ,shopping,cooking , and cleaning .Alone in the kitchen,she has her favourite snack.

It’s my time,I’m alone in the kitchen and I’m hungry and I can have what I want.

I have been meticulous in planning and cooking calorie controlled,vitamin filled, and well presented meals for my husband and two children.

I religiously go out and buy the best ingredients from local suppliers.I will not online shop,I cook from scratch.I use my phone app if I’m stumped for ideas.Rarely will a bag of crisps or sweets pass my children’s sweet lips.Never mind biscuits that are not home made.

But today, as I say, I’m alone.The children are away with their dad for a long weekend.I can have what I want. I’ve cleaned the house from top to bottom and now it’s me time…

So what do I plump for….Cheese on Toast,made with white pan bread and white cheddar and my trusty bottle of Lea Perrins! I’m in Heaven!
