Hello there everyone. Hope you’re all dandy. I’ve been getting obsessed with food as you can see from my latest little video - it’s about casual eating out in cafes and the lack of care often taken with serviettes. The unnecessary waste of both napkins and cheese is senseless, just senseless. Here’s a pic to illustrate.. by the way I’m not criticising the toastie in the pic, it was very nice…
As for my food obsession, it’s not that I’ve got a disorder, I just like the stuff. Last Sunday I got so excited by my garlic prawns, grilled peppers, beans and sunblush tomatoes that I took a picture of it.
Then I took another one after rearranging the peppers. I much prefer red over green and in the first photo the red pepper is almost totally obscured and that will never do. Also the cutlery is better placed. The prawns are a bit overcooked due to a phone conversation with my mum, but they were still very nice and that’s what Sundays are for; talking to your mum and then eating some lovely food.
Yum yum. Although it does look like the kind of picture of food you get in a cheap Spanish restaurant. I have purchased some more prawns from one of the fishmongers in the Arndale Market. And some cheese off the cheese stall that’s owned by the Italian Deli people (my apologies to the owners, I can’t remember its name, but it’s great, I love it). Cheese is great.
I know this post somewhat contradicts my last blog about going to the gym, but everything in moderation, eh?
Lots of love and happy eating.
Matt

I think you should have taken a third picture without the cutlery. Also, if I were you, I would have pushed the food a little bit in, to minimise gapping. Or put it on a jazzier plate. Just a few things to think about Matthew.

Dear Matt, I do worry about the length of time that you have been wrestling with this on your own - you should have asked for help sooner. The christmas border on the paper in the offending cheese shot clearly indicates that you’ve been holding this image on your phone since at least late December, too long for one man. Share the grief, might I suggest and uplifting end to your song (I don’t need to share a writing credit);
“But it ain’t all bad when I figure out the paper can be eaten.”
I think a few goes with this ending should help a lot.
Wishing you well,
Ferdia.

Following up from what Ferdia said - I think that could say ‘race to see boys christening’ on the paper in the background… which makes me wonder why you’d race to see a christening? Unless it was the christening of Jesus, which would make it a very old newspaper… not to say factually incorrect. Come on Matt come clean - Exactly how old is that picture?!
