Salads with grapefruit, pistachios, poached pears, beets, bleu cheese, etc. Not all together of course!
I never buy bleu cheese because it would be just for me and I'd have to eat it to finish it up. In fantasy world I could get bleu cheese once a month and not have to worry about cost or leftovers.

Yes, exactly! Or the variety of vegetables start to go bad before I’ve used them up, etc.

A bowl of mixed berries, spoonful of ricotta, smear of honey.

Soft shell crabs, lobster salad on butter lettuce, fruit salad.

3PM slump so they bring me a perfect skinny latte and a square of dark chocolate. Like the bread PP I don't wander into my own kitchen or know where the rest of the chocolate is.

A yummy salad with healthy, delicious toppings (roasted butternut squash and roasted beets come to mind this time of year). Someone else cut and chopped and diced. Homemade dressing, on the side. Fresh fruit, also cut and ready for me to eat. A small piece of homemade bread on the side would be terrific. Don't leave the rest around, because I would eat the entire loaf

If we’re living in this world, my personal chef is making me some sort of bland white fish with a lemon butter sauce (with lemons grown in my orangerie), a tiny dollop of some stupid loaded mashed potatoes, a gorgeous salad from my own lettuce grown by Gardener in my hot house and littered with beautiful vegetables and some green veggies like Brussels sprouts. Dessert is a raspberry sorbet from raspberries I grew last summer and froze.

I could go on.

Roasted halibut with a lemon caper sauce, and greens with garlic.

It's morning, and they make me a healthy green smoothie with all the bits and bobs I can't be arsed to add to it. Chia and cucumber and flax. But it tastes good.

Would love your food and drink ideas.
Let's all pretend we are jennifer aniston and someone makes us healthy things just for us!

I'm hoping it will inspire me to treat myself better in 2024 and make things that are good for me- even if the effort is just for me!
