But it's not just that...
Holidays are about the green light, the kitchen pass, the gluttonous approach to overeating. And today was one of those days... All we need is the smallest excuse to throw all healthy eating out the window and become sugar, bad food junkies.
Also, it doesn't help the situation when every holiday has a treat to which I am totally addicted. Thanksgiving... those creamy orange pumpkins. Easter... really good jelly beans and those jelly rabbits. Valentines day... the candy hearts (Only from Wal-Mart. They have to be the soft kind that stay soft.) And then there is Christmas where everything tastes good. Doomed...
So Valentines Day for us was having some pizza early afternoon and then going to a late lunch at The Training Table where we feasted on some delicious cheese fries. Then we came home and Jenny cooked up some Cheese Chips, mixed with a side of Rittersport chocolate (btw German comps... I found where one can purchase Erdbeer and Orange Joghurt Rittersports... yep the real deals) and bubble gum fudge. And then we topped the evening off with my wife's famous caramel popcorn.
We ate so much... so gluttonous... we can't breathe AND we feel terrible...
Happy Valentines Day!
Bring on Easter!
Jenny, baby... I want you to know... there isn't anyone with whom I would rather get sick!
Oh boy, we love days like that. Thanks for reminding us that we're not the only ones where all will power to eat healthy goes out the window.
Mmmm.... when I come over, I'll have some caramel popcorn, please. :) Darn that food. It's just too good.
