Last week I told you I had discovered an Hors D’Oeuvre Cookbook written in the “80’s and it listed 52 reasons to hold a party or celebration. At first I thought it was meant to be the 52 weeks of the year but I was wrong – It’s just 52 reasons to celebrate and not weeks because of course some holidays fall close together, duh!
So here is reason #11 – Starting A Diet Tomorrow – We all eat and drink like it’s our last meal! Big portions, comfort food served family style. Count me in.
Here’s a little personal anecdote; I used to blame it on my astrological sign, Castor and Pollux – those souls of opposing views and ultimate indecision because sit me down in front of a menu especially a large one and I just can’t make up my mind as to what I want. This could go on for 15 minutes until my husband would say, “This probably isn’t your last meal”.

Aww, my sister is a Gem too 🙂
Eh life is too short not to enjoy those huge comforting meals. “Eat right, exercise, die anyway.”
Sooooo true! My husband tells everyone how he ate steamed broccoli and chicken or salmon almost every day for the last 20 years – uh yeah tell it to his cardiologist – the poor guy had open heart surgery 2 years ago.
Then again… Open heart surgery is a good argument for a healthy diet, though.
Next time I’m eating like it’s my last meal I hope I can think of Peter and put down the fork, spoon and shovel.
