She stood there, across the other side of the room. She was young and beautiful. I glanced towards where she was standing and briefly caught her eye. In that moment I could see her dissapointment. We both knew I had cheated. I felt very low.
At the moment I’m on a 10 Day Detox Diet called Daniel’s Diet so when a friend offered to take me to lunch I knew that I wouldn’t be having my usual curry delicious from the Banana Leaf at the local food hall. We still went to the food hall and I wandered around until I spotted some stir fried vegetables at the Chinese food stall.
I sat down at a table with my friend to start enjoying my big plate of veges. I glanced around the food hall and caught the eye of the young lady who was serving at Banana Leaf. Although I don’t eat there all that often, she knew that whenever I do drop in to the food hall, I eat her curries.
I wanted so much to scream out, “But I’m on a diet. These vegetables don’t mean anything to me” but my lips remained silent.
I’m now a broken man. At the end of my 10 days I may visit the food hall again and see if the Banana Leaf will take me back. I know I’ve eaten food from another vendor but if I’m given the chance, I can start eating curry again.

*laughing* … i hope she takes you back …
i should cut down on my sugers and white flour … but i’m weak (and don’t have a weight problem to encourage that type of drastic change in my diet!) … sigh … i think to detox is a great idea …
we had an unwelcome visitor last night … a bear cut across our yard and left a 5 pound deposit … i need to get the shovel out later and move it from our path to the water! blah, darn bruins!
You’re so funny.
Thanks for your comments Saija and Donna.
Wow. A bear ‘dropping’ in on you. We don’t get anything quite as exotic as that in suburbia.
lol Rodney
It has been my experience that the best part of the detox diet is the retox.
Dont leave that curry to long 🙂
You food tramp you! After the diet you will have to order a double to get back in her good graces I think.
oh Rodney, lol! Best of luck to you… I admire your heart!
