Pie

Eating for comfort can’t be the worst possible thing a person can do. I mean, I can think of several ‘worse’ things. Shooting for comfort, bludgeoning for comfort, cussing and spitting for comfort—so you know, what I’m saying, eating for comfort is not the worst thing a person can do. BuT… eating the wrong thing for comfort can make it bad for the person and those around there.
Let’s take a look at those who eat sweets for comfort. It’s easy to just grab an old piece of chocolate from the bottom of the stash bag, shove it in one’s mouth and call it comfort, but no… just the mere word—comfort, evokes an emotion that requires so much more effort, energy and love…
Today, I needed comfort—not like bad, but, still, I knew if I didn’t take care of this at this stage it was only going to get worse, so I had some mints in my purse—instead of grabbing them and tossing them in my chops one by one, I pondered first—if this what I really want—need, and will it give me the comfort I need. What level is my cry for comfort… green, yellow, orange red! Okay, so after deciding I was only at a yellow alert, I decided to hold off for the ultimate comfort food… PIE. And not just any pie… Cherry pie.
Now I chose cherry for a couple of reasons. As you all know, I’m watching my health. Just like the other week, I went out for drinks with friends and well I definitely choice the Pomegranate Cadillac –that’s a pomegranate Margie with a shot of smooth high end rum in a shot that you pour on yourself for that extra… something. But see it was the pomegranates that made the drink worth it… antioxidants… yup. And I drank that drink… and you know what… I swear I was feeling better within in seconds…
Okay so back to the pie. So, during the holidays, I saw pies that were 2fer one… 9.99 each and I talked myself out it. No one needs 2 pies… not for a mere yellow alert… sheesh. So I passed it up. But now, I find that I’ve yet to go back to a green so, I think I need to get the pie. I go back to the store and of course the pies are no longer on sale… they are ONE for 6.99… But it’s a deep dish Sara Lee… hmmm. Very worth is… and will it do the job. You betcha…
And yes… in the words of lovers under other circumstances, “I’ve got the home fires burning.” And I do love my pie. It deserves only the most heated passion…
