Ovaltine Overdose.. and gourmet fantasies

Heee..
My drink of the mo :: Ovaltine 3 in 1 ::
Its been a long time since I have last tried it ... way back in Primary school probably..
With a sudden bout of nostalgia i had picked up an ovaltine 3 in 1 pack and bought it on a whimp while grocery shopping with robin.


Hah grocery shopping on a sunday, how domesticated right? I almost feel like one of those young married couples doing their weekly shopping at NTUC-- so typically Singaporean , so predictable.... so mundane.... ;p


But I love grocery shopping, seeing aisles upon aisles of food makes me happy, there is always the urge to grab a trolley and fill it up with goodies. I love browsing at all the delicious looking biscuits and snacks and cooking sauces and wondering if i should buy them to try. Although I usually leave the place empty-handed, I just enjoy imagining myself buying them and how they would taste like...
Sometimes ... when Im feeling rich or greedy I would give in to the temptation ... and the feeling of buying a treat for myself .. fills me up with an inner child-like glee.


The best place to indulge in my grocery fantasies:: Marcs and Spencer. hahh.. The classy packaging makes their food look absolutly to-die-for. Its the whole clean white deco plus lucious looking images of their products. The best thing is that their food is really as good as it looks. Damn ...I feel hungry just thinking about it.


Preparing and eating food can be such a sensual affair, i think we can get as much pleasure from delicious food as from sex.. although many might disagree... but i guess sex is healthier since u get a workout while you just get fat from eating too much rich food ;p
That is why I enjoy wathing Nigela's (not sure if spelt right) cooking show. There is a lazzy sensual attitude towards food, that arouses and awakens one's senses. Although there are accusations of her trying to sex up her show for rating purposes.. i think her detractors are just prudes- lemmings who all jump to agree once a "authoritative" opinion is given- a fallacy quciksand.


It's not like she prances around the kitchen in nothing but an apron..although im sure some viewers wouldnt mind that... I mean first a stripping news reader.. whats next right. She is in fact always modestly covered.. in long sleves tops and floor length skirts....but nothing can hide her "motherly" curves i guess....

In the end its not soo much a cooking show.. its more like a lifestyle program where people like me become voyagers in a gastronomical wet dream....


a huge box of decadently sinful Godiva chocolates or a night of hot sex


...you decide...
