Title: Home alone and hungry.
Post by: JohnnyReb on March 05, 2010, 06:18:25 PM
Wife and son are at a banquet we were going to attend tonight. The local Boy Scouts last year started a local "Boy Scout Hall of Fame" to honor past Scouts of this county who have made their mark in life. Tonight they are inducting Charles Duke, a former astronaut  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Duke  He will be addressing the scouts at the ceremony. I gave up my place at the table so my sons best friend could go with him (non scout but from a very religious family).

It's kind of ironic that Charles Duke has been to the moon when his brother, a local doctor, has never flown in an airplane due to a life long heart condition.

Now where did she hide that junk food?

It's behind the veggies in the fridge. And the Oreos are in the pantry behind the coffee filters.  ;)

I just had a left over chocolate santa, the chocolate crisp kind.  I can't believe they have lasted this long after christmas...but I am doing great on my diet and wanted a treat. 

I was watching Giada on Food Network and she gave me a dangerous idea.  Nutella frosted brownies sprinkled with nuts and mini chocolate chips.  Keep me away from the baking aisle and Publix this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A half bag of oranges? Sounds good

The oranges are hit or miss.  A couple were really good, tart and juicy.  Another one was dry and flavorless.

Clementines have been in for some time at Sam's, also saw them at Food City last week.

I made the boys a big banana pudding ( :puke: ) yesterday, and myself some plain vanilla. I also made real whipped cream to go on them. I've been adding mini chocolate chips to my puddin' and cream ... :drool:

We're a "mixed" household.....I don't eat bananas under any circumstances, M eats bananas and chocolate, but he gave up chocolate for Lent (I didn't :evillaugh: ), Son eats bananas but rarely anything with chocolate as somehow I managed to have a child who doesn't really care for chocolate... :confused: Hence the reason for the different puddings. :-)

I was once on a diet where my only indulgence during the lunch break was a chocolate bar and a banana. When you eat them together it almost has a banana split quality to it. You can ask your husband.
