While on vacation, the young people get to eat whatever they want. (Mostly, at least. We do cook meals, with veggies, and they do have that and salad.)
So, here's a picture of what #2 Son and Friend Becky picked:

| Junk food city! |
And here's a shelf of what i brought for me and for Sweetie, who is trying to eat more healthfully:
 |
| Bean chips, nuts, seaweed, raisins, etc. |
The problem is, some of the snacky type things that ended up in the fridge, like the key lime pie, ended up being too tempting for him. He was good, though, he only had one piece. In years past, he would have had one every night!
This reminds me of the time Boudreaux an' Clothile decide dey need to go on a diet. Dey go look at de diet books, an' dey fin' dem one dey t'ink dey can stick wit'.
Sho' nuf, de firs' night Clothile she follow de recipes for de breakfas', dinner, an' supper, an' as she cook de meal she divide it in half an' give half to Boudreaux, an' she eat half.
Ever't'ing seems be goin' good, dey eatin' good food, an' dey don' never feel hungry, but soon dey see dey ain't losin' weight, dey be gainin'!
So dey look closer at dat dere recipe diet book, an' Clothile put on her readin' glass, an' look at de fine print, an' mais! did dey get upset when she realize ever' recipe in de book is for 6 servings!

ReplyDeleteI choose the Pringles, I can never eat just one. Hilarious joke Mimi & no wonder they were never hungry
ReplyDeleteLOL - yep had that moment of clarity myself as a newly married woman cooking for two. Oh sure, we will just split this package of rice -- I do give the man a bit more, but we eat it all. And yes, it makes 6 servings. whoops!
ReplyDeleteI'll take some Doritos! :)
That looks like my daughter's choice anytime. She manages to burn it all off though. Love all the interesting history you have here, mixed with a laugh above, it was a fun read.
