A little palate--and palace--intrigue
Famous last words.
Over two decades ago, when I was still singing in my former synagogue's choir, one of my sister singers, a dietitian, explained that there's a reason why many children prefer milk chocolate, while many adults prefer dark chocolate--our taste buds change as we get older. That seems to me what's happening to me. It appears that I do still like sugar, but not in such high concentrations. So I'm now trying to figure out which gluten-free cookies (and other sweetened foods) are not too sweet for me. This is especially crucial because popcorn seems to aggravate my arthritis. I would say that my health challenges keep me on my toes, but if I keep eating popcorn, I won't even be able to get on my toes. :)
And speaking of famous last words, remember the retirement that I was talking about? Well, there may not be much more rest for the weary in the near future than there was in the recent past--I've been asked to consider staying with my current employer as a part-timer specializing in the long documents for which I've developed something of a reputation in over a decade of working on them. For those keeping score at home, you may be amused to know that I took one look at the ridiculously-long list of names and titles at the end of my most recent document, reformatted that list into two columns instead of one, and thereby shortened that document by a whopping 10 1/2 pages. That's what they pay me for, and, apparently, that's what they may decide to continue to pay me for (not to mention that I found a major omission in that document and saved my organization from public embarrassment). Stay tuned.
