Shattered vows

[stephbg]

I broke my vow of celery. Again. It was chicken, barbeque chicken, come down from some kind of Red Rooster heaven to torment me. I knew it was wrong, and I even fooled myself that tearing off the skin would make a difference but the flavour just took me away. I sank my teeth into the sweet flesh like a mad thing and tried to forget all that had come before.

Mmmmmmmm. Glutamates.
