Quotes

From a darling article on the diets of the elderly:

(about the writer's 82-year-old mother:) "Apparently she’d had French toast stuffed with bananas and Nutella for lunch the day before, and after lunch had gone to dessert theater ('You know, like dinner theater, but with desserts'), where she’d gobbled down a lot of cookies. 'So when they served cherry cobbler for dessert that night in the dining room, I thought, I better take this back to my room and eat it tomorrow. For breakfast.'"
...
"'I’m a sneaky eater,' she told me. 'Inside me is a very naughty girl. I like to eat in the privacy of my own room — sticking my spoon deep into the jar of Mrs. Richardson’s caramel sauce so it sticks straight up, maybe sprinkling a little salt on it — and not telling anyone.'"
...
(and about two writers in their 90s:) "'We eat everything we like,' Ms. Cardozo said. 'Any kinds of eggs, blini, any good red or beluga caviar with crème fraîche, cheesecake, chocolate soufflé with whipped cream, crème brûlée, filet mignon, pasta with pesto. Aileen drinks Lillet, and I’m vodka and tonic. We drink as much as we can.'"

All I can say is that I hope when I'm older my diet is comprised primarily of desserts! Mmmm...Nutella!
