dessert he usually has a cup of the or black cofee.
      When he comes home after work, he's as hungry as a
wolf. They say some people never have supper because
they don't want to eat much before going to bed. It's
different with him. After all, he's not on a diet, is
he? No matter how late he comes, he must have a good  solid
meal, consisting of the following: salad, a peace of
cold meat of ham, potatioes, and vegetables. He finishes
it with delicious meat pies and a glass of milk. The
latter is a bit too much, but I can't upset my mother, who
says I have a poor appetite.
