On the back of having read way too many new-years-resolution-mission-skinny-disguised-as-mission-healthy web posts and blogs and glossy mag cover lines, I have decided NOT to write about the five foods I should be eating for all the organic-antioxidant-shiny-hair-strong-nails-wonder-woman-energy-muffin-top-melting properties but rather the five foods that, in my opinion, make the world I live in a happier place.
1. Wine
In my world, it's a food group.
2. Nachos
Avo, salsa, sour cream, mmmm, cream... atop crunchy (wheat-free) corn chips with a 'catch a wake up' whack of chilli. Viva Mexican Fresh viva!
3. Chicken Salad
Monday to Friday, month in and month out, this is my answer to the eternal question of 'what's for lunch?' Boring, dull? Definitely not... my Local Kitchen Co know how to keep the taste up and the calories down. And, they throw in a little sprinkling of...
4. Bacon... mmm, bacon.
Bacon makes me happy. It just does. Blame it on my London stint, blame it on greasy post-student night brekkies, blame it on parma ham, prosciutto, carpaccio and all its other relatives. The smell of bacon being fried is just too darn delicious. Or, as my nephew would say, "Too-licious"
5. Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream
Briefly replaced in my heart by Woolies' Madagascan Vanilla ice cream (desperate times and all that), Ben & Jerry's cookie dough is like a time capsule. One spoonful takes me back to SATC re-runs, box wine and chinese takeaway picnics on the carpet with friends in their student digs. I don't need a tub, just a spoonful... so if anyone knows where one can acquire a tub of aforementioned trip down memory lane, please pass on details of stockist. Thanks.
