December 22, 2011. Paradise Village, Mexico. Food.

Sarah once was visiting our condo in Chevy Chase, along with her family.  She looked into our refrigerator, looking for milk for our tea.  She commented to us in amazement "There is not food in the refrigerator".  She lives in a home with four growing children and two adults, where the refrigerator is full of food.  Our home had two older adults, who were mostly out of town, so she was right, our refrigerator was empty.

Here in Mexico, our refrigerator is totally empty except for one bottle of milk and one half cant elope.  In the pantry we have one box of cereal and one box of oatmeal.  Ken and I have decided  that we will go hungry most of the time so we are only buying a minimum amount of food.  It seems to be the only way  we can get rid of our belly.  Unfortunately, we have no scale so we can't tell if it is working but it certainly works for our billfold.

We eat out once a day, dining at a different restaurant every day, generally around two or three o'clock.   Our meals are wonderful and generally we have food left over which we bring home to eat tomorrow.   So when we listen to the discussions on TV about hunger in America,  they are talking about us.
