Bed Lunch
Posted by Candice on December 14, 2009 at 12:10 am
Today I read a little snippet in Women’s Health that said apparently “studies” show that couples who drink hot liquids together trust each other more. So now I’m pretty sure that Tom and I are still together because of all the tea. I think Tom and I have been having nightly cups of tea together every day for about five years. And these teas are often accompanied by bed lunches.
When we first started having bed lunches they were often after long evenings of dancing and were often carb-o-licious slices of raisin toast with butter. Then that whole thing with the gluten happened and my snacks shifted to having cereal or leftovers from supper. Tom would have, like, a roast or something. Now, that I’m not quite as active and don’t eat as much fruit during the day my bed lunches are usually just a piece of fruit and maybe some cheese. Mmm cheese.
But the point of this post is not meant to be some sort of food diary or exposition of my weird relationship to food. It’s meant to talk about the best bed lunches of all. Those when you’ve eaten all the good food you need to during the day, got all your micro and macro nutrients and the bed lunch is just the icing on the cake. And sometimes, it can even be icing. Or, cheese and crackers and jam; or a muffin; or a piece of banana bread crumbled into un-homogenized whole milk yogurt (can you guess what I had for a snack tonight?)!
So, if “hot liquids” keep couples trusting each other then I think bed lunches (or at least the good ones) can let couples know what their partner’s indulgences are and subsequently keep them interested in each other! The combo works well for us!
