Each day of Cherrymember generous amounts of fresh cherries are on the plate.
This is the time of the year when we remember each eating theme. We anticipate that compared to last year the portion sizes will be less because less is wanted. It is the most varied of all the eating themes. Some weight fluctuation will be expected, in the upwards direction because so many types of indulgent foods are also remembered.
At the end of Cherrymember we also attempt to remember that Januberry of next year so perfectly follows the New Years celebrations. We are usually ready to return to the disciplined Januberry eating theme of lean chicken, steamed vegetables and pancake with berries theme.
Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Januberry. Pan fried chicken served cajun spices, commercial brand Hollandaise finishing sauce, boiled potatoes, steamed carrots, beans and corn on the cob are on the menu. The pancakes have berries with chocolate ice cream. A choice of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, loganberries or blueberries will be made. There are very few indulgent foods in Januberry. Half a commercial brand nut topped cone icecream may dress up a pancake some nights.
