Well, Why Not?

Our eyes, we are informed, are the
windows to our soul, just as our
bodies are the temples. As such they
are sacred and how other to approach
such a sensitively precious resource
as life than to resort to sacrificing
our appetites on the alter of life. For
to complete the metaphor, we are what
we eat. And today we have eaten well
of those foods which enhance health.
Such as carrots and parsnips, onion and
garlic, tomatoes and cauliflower to
name those that spring to a mind well
nourished this day. Which brings us
to the eyes again, introducing to our
appetite that which is forbidden, yet
so utterly tantalizing. If, then, I am 
what I eat, I should by now resemble
something indefinable, but decidedly 
having a golden glow. Not only of
satisfaction and satiety, but pleasure 
having concocted a dessert to please
my discriminating husband who asked
why not today make a lemon crumb pie?
