I'm Guilty As Sin... Food Porn

I'm Guilty As Sin... Food Porn
By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee

Doesn't this look good... mmmm-mm, the flavors are wonderful.  I make this now after being 'seduced' by photos on the computer!  

Diced tomatoes, diced onion, half of a lemon to squeeze juice from, red and yellow bell pepper, cucumber... avocado, saltines...  I was seduced yet, once again... I just can't seem to resist... Food Porn.

Is your food better 'naked or dressed'?  I just heard one of the doctors say that on the TV Doctors.  I really like to watch them, they talk about any, everything.  That's why I like to watch, listen.

They tell things like they really are... everyone can learn.  I wish they'd been around when I was a child... I would have never grown up learning everything the hard way... because of being too embarrassed to ask.

Truthfully, I can tell you now... I'm old enough.  I made the 'darnest mistakes', learning things as I grew up.  Some... I will never, never-ever tell you.  I can't bear to think of them... I know I'm not going to tell you!  I mean it, now!  :)))

I like dressed food, myself.  I like 'good stuff' on my food.  It makes me really want it... put it in my mouth, eat it... 'pure savor' the 'deliciousness' of it.

The TV Doctors are talking about Food Porn... I know sometimes, we see food being ugly.  I try not to look at it.  :)))  Sometimes, I have to act like I'm not looking... but, I am!  I really try to be good.

You know.... the fresh, crisp, green lettuce all up on that hamburger, hugged as tight as tight can be.  Not only that, the cheese is stuck, pure melted... all over it!

Slices of red-red tomato, and white rings of onion laying on top of each other, on top of the yellow cheese... it ought to be a sin to see food like this.

To top it off... all that yellow mustard, white mayonnaise dressing it to the max... if your mouth waters... then, you aren't any more innocent than I.  I know you like it, too!  You bad girl... you bad boy!

 To top the 'whole' thing off... there may be sesame seeds adorning the bun 'holding it all'.  You know you want it... if you are even grinning the slightest... I bet you get one before the day is out.

I try to be as good as good can be... but, when I see that... I want it, too!  Seductive food... I want a hamburger, now!  So, I'm guilty without meaning to be... I like porn... Food Porn.  The 'good thing' is that... I like dressed foods.  Not all bare, naked.... ugh!  :)))  So... I'm not ... all bad.

I can see it now... all the wonderful fresh colors of tomato, onion, mushrooms, bell pepper... both red, yellow, orange; cucumber ... all on a bed... of lettuce.  Next, the creamy Blue Cheese dressing with chunks of blue cheese... poured slowly on top.... on the side of the plate are two boiled eggs, cut in half... with deviled egg yolks inside each.

I mean those yolks have been mashed up good with mayonnaise, seasoned... gently folded back into each half of egg white... looking better than it did when it came out.  Sprinkle that with just the right amount of paprika... just beautiful.

Top it off with a big, dark-green dill pickle, and some white saltines... oh my.  Don't forget to put the pine nuts, green edamame peas on top.  Do you see 'why' I love dressed foods?

So, naked foods... don't tempt me.... it's the dressed-up stuff that does.  I should get some credit... since I don't pay attention to naked foods.  Dressing does make all things... better.

I just realized as I'm writing.  I have been committing Food Adultery.  I have to tell Skip... I've heard talking, thinking about something is almost like actually doing it.  I'm just before... lusting after a good hamburger.  Squeeze extra mustard on it, please... yeah, put an extra slice of onion on it... that's right.

While you are at it, give me a cup of that fine... crushed ice, tea to wash all that goodness down my throat.  If that's Food Porn... I'm guilty as sin.

The way they describe Food Porn is how it's posed to be seductive to our taste buds.  When we look at it, our mouths drool, saliva flowing down our chins.

Oh, how we want that food more than anything in this world.  I notice if I would just close my eyes... look away... I'm not tempted.  We should all look away, so ... we aren't tempted to taste the delights of the world.

All that wonderful green, healthy, nutritious food!  I can feel it as it slides down my throat.  I'm thinking of something one of the TV Doctors suggested... think about healthy Food Porn.

At this moment, I was thinking about celery.  Dressing it with pimento cheese... orange-colored with beautiful flecks of red pimento cheese!  Crisp, cold, fresh-green celery... so crunchy-good when chewing it; the flavors of celery, pimento perfectly blending perfectly.

Anyway, I like dressed ...everything.  I don't want to see naked people, animals... much less... plain food.  I love the eye appeal... colors, textures, design.  Same way with clothes... I pay attention to detail.  That's what seduces me...

Food Porn... well... in my 'Gloria opinion'... that is why there's obesity in a lot of cases.  It's Food Porn... where beautiful foods are posed in their very best light; to tempt, tease us with... colors, textures, scents, aromas tempting us all.

I think if we didn't look... or allow our noses to smell... we'd never be seduced by foods.  I 'try to be as good as good can be'... but, I like Food Porn... I love to look at posed foods with all the colors, textures, smells.  I'm guilty as sin!
