Moderation

Moderation is the process of eliminating or lessening extremes.

We frequently hear "all things in moderation." Usually regarding food. After just watching an episode of "Not My Mama's Meals" I am completely understanding the saying. Holy cow the fat content of some of Paula Deen's food.

I'm not condemning her. Don't get me wrong. I grew up in Georgia. I know what southern food is like. But who ever thought of using doughnuts to make bread pudding! I think I'll take my grandmothers any day of the week.

I guess I'm lucky. I've somehow managed to lose a lot of my sweet tooth. I think chocolate cream pie is too sweet. I prefer scones and muffins to sweet breads and doughnuts. I mean, I'll occasionally eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut. I AM from the south after all. But wowzers, some of her stuff is just TOO sweet.

All things in moderation.
