These days, The Boss insists on sampling everything I eat. The problem with that is I eat nothing but cheese sandwiches, baked Ruffles chips and Pepperidge Farms double-chocolate Milano cookies. To keep The Boss on a healthy track, I’ve altered some of my eating habits to match hers. For lunch today, she and I shared steamed carrots seasoned with dill, steamed white rice, and two poached eggs (she had the yolks; I ate the whites). I call it baby food for adults. Let’s see how long I can keep this up.
