Have you ever been asked what’s your favorite food? I of course have been and so I have an answer that hopefully will stick to whomever asks me next that question.
Loaded question, isn’t it? “What’s your favorite food?
Actually you see it depends on the mood,
my tummy whispers in shifting tones.
Sweet or Salty? Who will call the shots today?
Maybe Reese’s, frozen solid, chilled to perfection, melting against my lips.
Sprite bubbling besides it,
tiny sparks of happiness rising to meet me.
But they warn, don’t eat too much sweets.
So then what?
A crisp chicken Cesar salad, greens soothing the tongue,
or maybe wings, hot,messy, wild with Cajun fries and blue cheese on the side.
How that makes my soul extra giddy.
Food isn’t just fuel.
It’s the love I give myself,
the little joy I create and taste.
So what’s my favorite?
That’s a trick question,
because the truth is simple:
it just depends on the mood.
What is your favorite food that makes you the happiest?
