a weekend of not-so-good eating habits...

[DrBee]

Don't worry about me Veronica - I had a great time this past weekend and I'm going to enjoy every last bite of that giant crabcake! Ooh I can taste it already! I was just so amazed at how crappy I felt after eating so poorly. I usually eat well and also eat fairly rich foods (nothing fried though - even here in the south), but I didn't see a vegetable after friday night. Everything in moderation works for me. The twinkie - I can't even begin to explain that. Those things do not normally come into my house - my husband brought them back as leftovers from the lock-in he did with the local youth.

The only veggies I eat are in salads mostly. I'm just not a fan of veggies. I like to eat them, I don't like to cook them.

Twinkies and the other Hostess snack cakes, Devil Dogs, HoHos, etc. are one of the great disappointments to me as an adult. I rarely got them as a kid and remember them as being REALLY good. Now that I can buy whatever I want, my adult palate thinks they're gross.

Lee & I like to ride out to Alum Rock Park in San Jose, which is a moderately hilly 60-ish mile round trip for us.

We (I) have taken to stopping at a 7-Eleven a few blocks before the park entrance (V knows of which one I speak) and I'll buy a pack of some evil Hostess cake-like snack item.

Last week it was SuzyQ's. yuuuum.

We ride up to the picnic area in the park, sit at a bench by the babbling creek under a shady tree, watch the squirrels and listen to the ducks, admire the wildflowers, and share the calorie-laden glob of goodness without any bit of guilt or remorse. Then head back home.

Life does not get much better than that, I tell ya.

Hey that's my frappicino store! Frappicino right before climbing Sierra Road - it hit the spot that day.

Hee hee, when my eyes roved over the cold drink section and saw the frappucinos, I thought of you!

I opted for some Odwalla mango-juice thingy, in an attempt at eating healthy.

Maybe someday we'll tack Sierra Road to that trip since we pass right by it. yeah right.

I must admit I splashed out a bit this week-end too. I found fresh locally produced rhubarb in the market on Saturday and just HAD to get some. Mmmmm....rhubarb pie with custard. I ate two huge slices on Sunday night.

I tend to pig out most Sundays though. This week-end was nothing unusual. BF and I sleep in Sunday morning, then get up just in time for "CountryFile" on BBC1. Countryfile and a fry-up is just the best way to start a Sunday. Proper bacon from the butchers, fried eggs, sauteed mushrooms, toasted crumpets. Occasionally I even make fresh scones or pancakes to top it off.

Then Sunday night always includes cake of some sort. I love baking and have decided that I need more practice. And BF and friends all agree that I need more practice too . They all volunteer to test the product. So I bake most week-ends.

But at least it's all fresh and home made and that's healthy, right?

Sure - if it's homemade it must be healthy. Like the homeade ice cream I like to make with the new Cuisinart ice cream maker I got for Christmas. It's calcium - right? No preservatives. Yeah - that's it.
