NUTRITIOUS

I guess I am on some special food kick for the moment. And even though I do enjoy food as much as the next person, it is well a rather bland subject.

I'm not saying it can't be tasty. And that can be fun. But part of the fun is the ability to add it in with something else.

Sort of a reward for celebrating an achievement. Now that makes it really worth the effort.

Providing you can work it so the other person sees it that way. And this can't be a meal that involves the word nutritious.

It might just be me, but honestly, that word I think gets associated with things that takes like crap. Not my rule.

Kind of like taxes. In theory they are good for us. Because the money goes to pay for things we all need.

Just hard to remember that and get excited about it when you see it come out of your paycheck. You don't feel like saying thanks.

So thus too is the issue of nutrition. It is good for you, but often doesn't seem to offer a tasty option.

Maybe you tolerate it out of sense of guilt. Yeah, some moment when you fear an early death.

So you end up stuffing you face with all things nutritious. And you feel great for about ten minutes.

Then the sugar demons pay a visit and you are in big trouble. An hour later you have chocolate breath and no where to hide.

Which definitely is not a good option if you have been lying about eating healthy. Nostrils know better.

So I'm working here on the approach of being reasonable. Of adding some creativity so this whole nutrition issue remains a smile.

It isn't that hard. A nice beer and wheat germ shake has possibilities. It might not say inspire some in terms of nutrition, but you probably won't care.

See, didn't that go down easy? Okay, don't answer that. It will be our little secret. And as long as you have some vitamin greenbacks I will remember.

So let's all have a party and celebrate!
