Nah ... is not cultural shock or miss understanding, he's not weird, he's not complicated, he's actually kindah cool but...
Did you overeat during Thanksgiving? Who didn't?Do we stuff the turkey as a dress rehearsal for what's going to occur 'a table ?
I was planning to post this tomorrow, but when I sawFrench Word of the Day
trop = too much
Nous allons beaucoup trop manger pendant les fetes. We are going to eat way too much during the holidays.
I thought this is a sign...
Last summer I lost 15 pounds because of this book. No special diets, no daily scale inspections, no deprivation - it was effortless. Just changing the way I think about food and changing some acquired habits. That's it. Dr. David Kessler, when he was head of the FDA vanquished the tobacco industry. Now he'd like to set the food industry straight. Certainly he wants to us know how we're being manipulated to experience food as entertainment.
This is a good time for me to brush up the subject before I fall off the holiday wagon. And to share it with you.
I get emails from you:"You must weigh 500 pounds"
"I always wonder how you stay slender with your sweet tooth!"
wrote Julie.
"Looking at PB makes me fat!"
etc. etc.
First of all it's impossible to hold a camera still and carry around a bunch of pastry bags.
And I'm too busy running down streets after Parisien pups...
Or stalking Parisien shoppers to eat everything I see or shoot.
Dr. Kessler does address the so-called "French Paradox" (page 175), 
He says in fact, it's a result of smaller portions and traditional social structures (no snacking between meals, structured meals), not because of infusions of red wine and dark chocolate. Sorry folks :(
Look what the French provide for us? HMPH
While they eat beautifully designed salades like these...hmmm
This was often my lunch in Paris, from Chez Jean, 9, rue La Fayette (5 euros)
Kessler says it's the constant stimulus around us, the cues - sight, smell, location, time of day, that capture us. We need to cool those cues. To develope rules for ourselves that work. To make a "critical perceptual shift" so this picture doesn't leave us salivating...
And we can make do with this.

Four years ago today, my mom took her last breaths and left this world. We were all with her and she is at Peace now. I will see here again, one day!
Me and my mom!
My Mom! My mom is Louise. My mom is beautiful, loving and kind. My mom is brave, strong and inspirational. My mom is special to me because she gave birth to me on Nov. 28, 1965. She nurtured me and raised me to be the special woman I am today. She supported me, put up with me, listened to me, gave me good advice, and loved me unconditionally. She was always kind and funny!! I LOVE my mom very much....
Dear Mom,
I wanted to let you know how much I miss you and that I think about you all the time... day and night! It's so hard to be without your beautiful smile, loving words, and warm hugs. You live on in my thoughts and in my heart. You are everything to me. You are the best mom EVER and you have always been there for me. I LOVE YOU MOM!!
Love, your one and only daughter, Leese

Frederique's b-day was on the 26 and mine yesterday so we celebrated our b-days together over dinner... We had a great
time and I made some more yams and green beans and a cake ... It was YUMMINESS all over again!!!!!
Feels like Thanksgiving again two days later! Funny how it worked out that way!
To top it off... Lots of DELICIOUS cheeses! The nice thing about going over to someone's house for dinner is that there is always a nice choice of cheese at the end of the meal!And then, of course... Birthday cake!
