I CHEATED BIG TIME!
Into every life a little rain must fall, and so it was with me last week.

I had the greatest time eating just what I wanted.

Forget the NO sodium,  NO high cholesterol, NO fried foods, and NO eating that wonderful white bread!

It all happened very gradually.

I didn't realize the track I was taking, but as time went on I became aware that I was having FUN eating.

It started at dinner one evening when none of the featured menu items appealed to me.  That rarely happens, but when it does there is always a dish like an omelet, broiled fish, chicken, or grilled hamburger available.

HAMBURGER with FRENCH FRIES

I not only chose the hamburger, I had some delicious french fries with it!

Of course you have to have a pickle and some coleslaw to top it all off.

Boy, that meal was a real treat!

EGG SALAD SANDWICH

The next afternoon I decided to have an egg salad sandwich for lunch.

Years ago the word was that too many eggs were not good for you so I cut down on "egg eating."

Now "they" changed their tune and are saying that eggs are good for you, so maybe that lunch shouldn't be in the cheating group.

WHITE BREAD

Last, but certainly not least - "white bread."

If there was a love of my life department it would be "white bread."  The kind that when you toast it, it comes out crisp.

For years now I've been buying whole wheat bread, paying big bucks for it because it's supposed to be better for you.

I've tried many different brands of wheat bread and haven't found any that I enjoy eating.

I recently went into a neighborhood market that was having a sale on WHITE BREAD - a large loaf for $1.29.

How could I resist?

When I toast that bread, it tastes like how I remember white bread tasted when I was a child!!

Oh, happy day!!!

Now that's worth cheating for!!

Have you cheated recently?
