GWH and Thing 2 have been on a hunting trip for the last few days. So Thing 1 and I have been shopping, eating, and watching bad Errol Flynn movies.
We've been eating pretty well. Caprese salad, yum. (sliced tomatoes seasoned with pepper and freshly ground garlic salt, layered with fresh mozzarella, sprinkled with dried oregano and fresh basil chiffonade, and drizzled with olive oil). Chips and dip (dinner of champions). Of course, fresh baked cookies. But the piece de resistance was the pumpkin cheesecake we made yesterday:
I guess I cut the pieces a little too big. Because by the time I got to the last 3 bites or so, I was feeling a little queasy. But I persevered. "must...finish...the...cheesecake" was my mantra as I slowly ate the last few bites. After I got up and cleared my place, I looked over at Thing 1 who still had a few bites to go on her piece. She looked at me apologetically and told me it was "too rich" and she couldn't finish it.
"What??? It made me nauseous but I still finished my piece!" I told her.
"Mom. If you feel sick you should stop eating."
"Oh." That never occurred to me.
Well, live and learn.
that is a funny post. I learned this lesson over my beloved Godiva Chocolate cheesecake from cheesecake factory. Now, I eat half and save the other half for breakfast.
Soooo, you finally re-named the blawg!! [insert girlish shriek here]
I love the name! Are only those of us who remember the 80's going to get it?
makes me feel old...I'll think of something else now...
Congratulations on the new blog name!

Yep, I can't eat a whole piece at Cheesecake Factory - those are definitely enough for two!
We ate very small pieces last night. I'm going to have to freeze this cake because it will take us a week to finish it...
