We say the French words au revoir – goodbye – to November feasting. Then we skip right past December’s over-indulgence and step on the January scale with smiles on our faces. Holiday lights accompany us all the way.
What happened to our final November food post? you ask.
Aren’t we going to savor one last culinary entitlement?
How about a recipe for left-over turkey vegetable soup? Can we figure out a way to make sweet potato pie from remains of the baked sweet potato/marshmallow casserole?
NO.
It’s time to “Gird up the loins of our mind” as it says in the Bible’s New Testament 1 Peter 1:13.
Or we can adhere to the words of Ancient Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus who said…”We must undergo a hard winter training…”
Or let’s speak the Spartan quote….”He (she) who sweats more in training bleeds less in war.”
Or we can follow the words of current philosopher WildFire! who came up with the sentence…”What You Eat Today Becomes what the Scale Says Tomorrow.”
We will not be the Grinch Who Stole Christmas during the coming December blog posts.
Our eyes will be fixed on January’s prize, though. Will you join me? WF!
