AND DISH A SPECIAL ALLURE.
DESSERT IS SERVED.
AND THE TRUE EXCITEMENT BEGINS.
A food craving is an intense desire to consume a specific food, stronger than simply normal hunger. According to Marcia Levin Pelchat “It may be the way in which foods are consumed (e.g. alternating access and restriction) rather than their sensory properties that leads to an addictive eating pattern.”
I did have one of those FOOD CRAVINGS last night. Was sitting there, and just felt like something sweet. You know, … it’s late … the TV is on …. had dinner a while ago …. and you REALLY wanted sugar. Well, I did …. called the grocery store from the corner to deliver some sliced bread, got some milk and eggs out … and voilà … french toast ….
… now c’mon on … real quick … :
Ingredients
1 cup of milk
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of sugar
pinch of salt
Method
Take four slices of sliced bread
spread some cherry confiture on it
slice some bananas and divide them on the cherried bread
cover with some more sliced bread
dip in the egg/milk mixture
throw onto a generously buttered pan
cook until golden brown
sprinkle with some icing sugar
OR drown in maple syrup (that would be MY choice)
and you have breakfast late night snack
This shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to prepare, and definitely not more that a couple of minutes to devour ….
