PreTeena by Allison Barrows for December 12, 2013

I like Teena’s thinkiing!

Dad always says: Life’s short; eat dessert first.

I feel a lot worse if dinner spoils my dessert than the other way around.

I guess Teena is getting her just desserts… groan

I find I am less likely to over-eat if I eat dessert first…but I do have to keep the portions to a reasonable size.

I’m told it’s a French custom to eat the salad last, in order to cleanse the palate. Also my custom if the hot entree arrives before I finish my salad (and actually, my sack lunch pattern is entree – salad – orange).

I use to get in trouble for doing that in grade school.
