Lunch

Madame went out to shop and lunch with a friend, so I was left to my own
devices. I decided against a restaurant, instead went to the store and
bought a half pound filet of beef and a couple of endives. When I got home
I put two small pans on to heat, salted and peppered the steak and opened a
bottle of red wine. I took a piece of the root end and a couple of outer
leaves off the endives and sliced them into one inch pieces. When the pans
were hot I put butter, salt, pepper and the endive in one and turned the
heat down and put the steak into the other. I poured a glass of wine and
drank some. After three minutes I turned the steak. Three minutes later
lunch was ready. As I ate my meal and drank my wine and read my book I did
have time to wonder why people think dieting is so difficult.

I agree.

1) select any meat, fish or fowl - cook them any way you prefer
2) select greens and assorted veggies for salad and/or side dish
3) enjoy

Couldn't be easier.
