What snack would you eat right now?
Oh snack, leave me alone
You tempt me like a wicked crone
You hark me back to childhood years
And gourd me with fat and fears
Those unnatural powdered additives of red and yellow
Those frothy lipids that make me mellow
Oh snack you wicked licentious hag
For my sake get back in your bag.

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!
