I'm currently recovering from a sinus infection, so I'm inclined toward things that bring me comfort--blankets on the couch, mindless TV, food like Mom used to make.
Despite my health, I went to Costco near lunchtime today, and I found myself migrating to the snack bar for a comforting slice of pizza and a Coke.
But last time I ate a piece of pizza at Costco, it wasn't very good. Yet today, I went back for more...
Angel: You should get that berry smoothie instead. It would taste better.
Devil: Nothing is better than cheese.
Angel: That berry smoothie even looks better in the picture than the pizza.
Devil: But you've been sick, and your husband is traveling. Go for the cheese.
Angel: Refreshing, healthy...
Devil: Cheesy...
I went for the cheese. After peeling off about 3 pounds--in the interest of better health--I ate the huge, soggy slice, and didn't enjoy even one bite. Why does the devil always win?

My guess is that it was not only the carbs/fat thing, but also a temperature thing: pizza is hot!
ReplyDeleteI start the soup pot when somebody is sick around here...
Costco pizza is not very comforting. It's not even very cheesy. I like mashed potatoes with lots of butter and cream and salt.
