Free! Treat For Yourself

So, this is going to sound nutty, but I realized today that presentation makes a HUGE difference with how you perceive the food and beverages you're about to consume. On my trip I ordered water with lemon and they brought me water in a fancy glass with 4 lemon wedges. I sat there looking at the glass thinking I must be nuts, but that glass made the water seem more like a treat. So, I thought, why can't I do that at home? Why can't I get out my fancy glasses and dishes for my food and water? Why can't I made eating these foods more like a treat or an event? Then I thought of spas I've been to where they put slices of peaches or oranges etc. in their water tanks to just slightly flavor them. I could do that. When I get home I think I'll put a big pitcher with the day's water in it in the refrigerator with fruit slices in it. I can always eat the fruit later!!
