I’m human – I have urges.
And sometimes they hit me so suddenly that I turn into a real-life monster until they are fulfilled. Like tonight, when I was shampooing my hair & it hit me – if I don’t get mint Oreos & skim milk within the hour I might actually keel over.
OF COURSE I’m dieting this week (going without Oreos until my tummy pooch subsides) & I didn’t get any supplies at the grocery store. I am trapped in hell, basically. I literally curled up in a ball on top of Garrett & whined until he agreed to go get me some. My knight in shining armor!
I ride with him because I am selfless, obviously, but refuse to go inside because wet hair. He goes in & they ARE OUT OF OREOS. So he gets me warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. I can work with this. He struts out, all proud.
“Umm where is the milk?”
“You need milk for these kind of cookies?”
“I need milk for ALL cookies!!!!!!”
So he went back in & got me milk.
I’m a troll, I know, but at least I’m fat & happy.

Just posted a Toasted Pimento Cheese & Tomato Sandwich this week as well! My nod to healthy was to skip the butter on the bread 😉

Like they say, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, but boy, that would be worth any amount of added lard. As a Brit I can’t get Colby Jack – can you double up on the cheddar? And are your pimentos pickled?
