In the musical "Oliver," one of the most fun songs was titled "Food, Glorious Food."
During excursions to different places, most people look forward to eating out.
In Bennington, Vermont recently, we had a really delicious taco at a place called Cilantro.
Because dinner at night had been carefully planned in advance, lunch had to be light.
Our tacos were delicious and very fresh-tasting.
On the way back to the car, we saw fresh herbs and other plants growing behind the restaurant.
If it belonged to Cilantro, no wonder everything tasted fresh.
Dinner was at Allegro, an Italian restaurant, and merited the restaurant's multi-star ratings.
I had scallop fettuccine (and a bite of hub's steak. ha ha)
Hubs had a hangar steak and sweet potatoes.
On the way home, a stop at the Apple Barn revealed they had "maple soft serve" ice-cream.
We each had a cone and believe me, it was one of the most delicious treats of a lifetime and I've been around the block quite a few times.
Its sweet "yumminess" lived up to the word "JOY" that was on the cone wrapper.
So Oliver was right. Food, glorious food , in moderation, of course, is something to look forward to in life. (It's pretty hard to keep it in moderation though, don't you think?)
