Birthday Cakes, Cabbage Rolls and Sushi

Temptation comes from deep in the gut
Or from the delicious aroma of chocolate chip cookies
steak on the grill on a cool summer’s evening
chicken soup broth bubbling and simmering
each one nourishing - well maybe not the cookies
but nourishment is more than just of the body ~
each bite, each taste brings up a memory of breakfasts and dinners and snacks and lunches,
celebrations with family and friends,
ordinary meals at home or away ~
and each bite, each taste we make in our kitchens,
eat in favourite restaurants or at foodcarts on the street
breeds the temptation to enjoy our food without guilt.

“I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.”
~ Mae West
