some straight talk about the market How To Fake Your Way Through An Awful Dinner LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Dinner parties are a drag when the host's cooking looks like the contents of a trash bin and you still have to gag it down. But an acting teacher says its possible to trick your tastebuds into thinking the slop is a yummy hot fudge sundae by using a few techniques borrowed from the theatrical arts. Jane Marla Robbins, whose specialty is teaching average Joes how to use acting in their everyday lives, says you should start by envisioning there's a hot fudge sundae on your dish instead of the junk placed before you. The key is focusing on the details: Imagine you're whiffing the chocolatey smell and feeling the heat of the fudge contrasting with the cold of the ice cream. Robbins says the imaginary feelings will travel right to your unconscious mind and trick your body, which she says, "can't tell the difference between a sense memory and a real experience." As a last resort, if you can't conjure up a sundae, she says you can always feign a food allergy and abstain from eating.
