Eat, Pray, Don't Bother: Episode One

With no apologies to this weekend's super hyped movie, Eat, Pray, Love....

Hilary Gilbert needed to find herself. She'd looked everywhere - under the bed, in the closet, up the chimney. If she'd have realized what lay ahead of her she'd have just looked in the bloody mirror like everyone else, but who thinks of that when they're stressed? There was nothing else for it, she decided to make a life changing journey...

Part One: EAT
Without the need for a plane, boat or Greyhound bus, Hilary finds herself in Naperville. She's astonished by the beauty that surrounds her, but she needs more than that. She's looking for food to feed her soul. Fortunately there are many accommodating eateries in downtown Naperville. She sits on a stone bench eating Belgian chocolate ice-cream, waving to the guys cycling by on their pedicabs. At Lou Malnati's she slurps on spaghetti.
"I really should have done that the other way round," she concludes.
"What a wonderous place this is. Not only do they have all the carbs I could ever wish for, but a dry cleaners to get the stains out of my white blouse."
