Enthusiastic Monday: Home-cooking and worry

The January 21, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
Convince me why you appreciate either preparing or eating a home-cooked meal. Describe the preparation or the consumption of a homemade food you enjoy.

Each savory bite titillates my taste buds;
Nostalgic aromas awaken old memories;
Tantalizing flavors tempt overindulgence;
Happiness is consuming a home-cooked meal!
Utensils and plates on the table
Suggest a huge family feast
Included are home-made biscuits and gravy
And all the Southern fried chicken I can eat;
Succulent creamed peas and green salad
Then a home-baked cherry pie for desert.
I say grace before stuffing my face.
Comfort is consuming a home-cooked meal!

The January 21, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Name something you no longer worry about.

I no longer worry about getting fat. I figure as along as I consume foods in moderation and attempt to chew each bite 100 times (sometimes difficult) I can spend my remaining years enjoying the foods I like no matter what the food police say. Life is too short to worry about whether a specific food is good for me. Moderation is the key to a happy life, but I have to remember that I even have to practice moderation in moderation.

Weary of worry
Of watching my diet
I choose moderation
and take my medication.

The only type of food I have to be a bitch about avoiding is anything I have an allergic response to when I consume it. I know I am allergic to MSG, my body completely reject this food additive within the first hour and sometimes five minutes after I have eaten the food it is in. I may or may not be allergic to some other types of food because sometimes I get heart burn when I eat or drink something that has a lot of acid. I issues with hyper-acidity, but as long as I take my medication I can consume foods high in acid in small amounts.
