Miss Manners

I think that 80% of my extra pounds is due to having good manners. 10% is from my gene pool, and the other 10% is actually due to my over indulgence and lack of exercise. Let me explain. I am not one to hurt someone's feelings if they ask me to try something, or if they offer me something they have made.... so I go ahead and eat it. Even if I am full. Even if I really could pass it up. I have been in gatherings many times when people don't eat. Or eat very little. "Oh, I am just sooo full" or "Oh, eating this much for lunch I just won't be able to eat dinner" or "No thanks, I don't eat that" etc, etc. I have known people that I have never actually seen put food in their mouths. I have known people that are just plain rude about food. I have heard that my ancestors from some of the European countries always offered food when someone came into their home. This custom has been passed down. Most of the people in my family have the tendency to offer food. ( I will be blogging about dieting soon; name a diet, I have done it!) The photo shows Danish Ebleskivers, I have seen it spelled many ways so don't correct me! A handed down recipe in my family, we LOVE them!
