Happy Friday everyone. Do you have any little pleasures when it comes to food?

Here's one of mine: citrus in the mornings. I've been sick all week, and I had been hoping to get off work today due to snow and have a nice long three-day weekend. Well, the storm mostly passed us by, and it was business as usual. I was dragging my feet, procrastinating on MFP, and then when I couldn't put off leaving any longer, I grabbed a couple clementines and started to peel one. Ahhhh, it was fantastic. The little orangey droplets spraying everywhere . . . free aromatherapy, perked me right up.

It's the little things that count :D

    I do the same thing with oranges...only in the afternoon during that half way point between lunch and leaving work.

    That and pasta. Growing up in an Italian family, I was taught from a young age that pasta makes everything better. :smile:

    I always have an orange with breakfast...

    But my favorite cooking thing is the smell when you walk into the house and I have a pot of chicken soup cooking. Or the heat from the charcoal as I fire up the steaks.

    Oh, me too. Back before puberty, when I was swimming year-round and I could eat whatever I wanted, my family used to say I had a hollow leg where I stored all the pasta I ate. I love all the shapes haha :)

    You are my hero if you can only have one cup of coffee and especially one Oreo. Oreos and German Chocolate cake is like Kryptonite for me.
