OK, not really much of an "adventure story", but the eating of too many cookies doesn't really belong in the "nutrition" section!

DH is away on a fishing trip on some sacred water so it's just me & the dog. My without-DH diet normally isn't all that exciting (eating all the foods I could live on but he can't stand to eat all that often--burritos, pasta, Caesar, burritos, pasta, Caesar, etc...you get the picture). So I decided that I would liven up my diet by making my one of my favorite cookies (I typically make HIS favorite cookies, that way I won't be tempted to eat so many ). So down to the store I go to get butterscotch chips to make oatmeal scotchies. Yuuuummmmmmmmmm, warm right out of the oven. I ate so many that I covered not only my post-ski snack calories but also dinner. I don't think I've EVER made cookies for myself just "because".

I AM cooking a chik'n pattie right now, though, to get something other than empty calories in. I'm pretty full, but I'm sure I'll be able to choke it down (note to those of you that have never seen me eat...I can outeat most grown men, except if they are eating steak--blech!). I can always slip the chik'n to the dog since no one is watching!

Guilty, as charged.
