SLICES OF TEMPTATION
Crisp, hot, hard, crunchy toast. Soft salted butter as it melts into the slices of bread in surrender, saying "I am one with you"... then a film of strawberry jam. Just enough to add the sugary-salty excitement to the palette. Hmmm... then the first bite and the second and then it becomes clear, 2 more slices have to be toasted. The taste is too good to reduce to just a couple of slices and before you know it, you are on your 6th slice!
STRIPS OF PLEASURE
My son sent me to KFC yesterday. I watched the chips come off the friers and remembered why I got as fat as I did. I love chips... I don't think anything compares to the taste of well-fried chips... fried crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and salted to perfection. Reminds me of the "Chop-one Chop-two" pastry that we had as kids. You start on one bag of chips and before you can say Jack Robinson, it's finished. So to save time, you order 4 bags (regulars, not large! LOL!!)
I LOVE FOOD
I have found that those of us that get this fat share a common passion... epicureanism and the love of food. I can write similar love stories (to above) on Egusi soup, Spare ribs, Wings, Mangoes, Vegetable soup... anything! I am not silly enough to imagine that this love affair will ever end, but I am hopeful that I will come to realise that I do not need to have 6 slices before I am satisfied. Just one will (should) quench the desire! Same with the chips...
I hope to learn the simple lesson of temperance and satisfaction...

KFC have got some healthy bits on their menu these days, not that I notice. I stick with Colonel/Variety meals. BTW, I heard the 1st KFC was opened in Lagos a few months ago, is this the same one or are there more KFC outlets? Embarrassingly long overdue, I guess the 1st McD will hit our shores after Goodluck’s second term. Sorry I digressed….. Just one of everything will do! We are still with you.

There are 3 KFCs open in Lagos now, my brother. (Or is it 2?) But one is dangerously near me! Truth is that my office is located right in the middle of FOOD LANE... Awolowo Rd. Ikoyi. I have Double 4, Munchies, TFC, Sweet Sensation, KFC, Tetrazinni, ZarZee and Goodies Supermarket just a block or 2 from me. And don't forget Home Cooking restaurant, Calabar cuisine...
I'm salivating!
I love bread ... I can eat 20 slices as appetizer before the main course ... I had to simply slow down .. I also used to drink several cans of Soda daily but finally you realize that u are getting too old for junk food
