#SoCS - 1/2/25 - Spoonful


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “spoonful.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Thanks Linda.

You can find out everything you need to know about SoCS here.

Well of course the saying goes that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.  Rubbish.  Takes more than one spoonful.  If I was still taking sugar I'd have 2 in my tea.  Thankfully, given that I can drink quite a few cups of tea during a day I switched to sweetners quite a while ago now to limit my intake of sugar.

Doesn't stop me eating lots of other sweet things with sugar in them though.  Biscuits are probably the worst culprits for me.

But a spoonful of anything nice is not enough.  It's like suggesting you only eat one square of chocolate.  You just about get the taste doing that.  And just a spoonful of something like tiramisu?  Wouldn't even touch the sides.

Now if we were talking medicine then yes one spoonful is plenty.  And for some things, such as certain alcoholic drinks, coffee or green juice, no spoonfuls at all thank you.
