sometimes I just have to keep repeating that......
It wasn't the turkey or the stuffing or the pumpkin pie or even the beautiful bread that did me in this weekend.
I did just fine with all of that.
No, it happened yesterday.
My very own private foodie call.
Followed by a little pity party.
After a marathon shopping trip, Toni and I met some folks to go to the movies and then on to dinner. As I sat in my seat sipping on the Starbuck's non fat chai latte that I smuggled into the theatre....wearing my fancy 3D glasses....a Wendy's hamburger appeared on the massive screen. With cheese. And onions. And mayo. And pickles. And ketchup. A double decker Wendy's hamburger......right there....as big as life. A beautiful 6 foot tall hamburger.....with all of my favorite things....busting off the screen....into my world. I never knew how amazingly gorgeous a Wendy's hamburger could be.....
After the movies.....off to dinner at Cadillac Ranch. Where they have a menu filled with ......yes, you guessed it.....burgers. Hamburgers tacked high with condiments and sauces....stacked high with deliciousness. Oozing with beauty. Did I mention the fried onion ring toppers?
Yeah, well.....I decided to share a margarhita flatbread pizza with Toni. And, then, on a whim, I ordered their heavenly mashed potatoes. And, I topped it off with a martini. If I couldn't have a hamburger....a martini (or two).....would have to do.
Let's just say this....when you go to a burger joint....don't go ordering fancy pizza. It ain't their specialty. And, unless you have it on good authority that their mashed potatoes are something pretty special.....don't bother ordering them either. Sometimes you just have to have a burger.
Unless you have a lapband....
Then, you just have to order another martini.....
And a pity party.
NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels.......
NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels.......
NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels.......
NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels.......
But the martini was pretty good.....
Follow me.......

Oh Judi...we must be related somewhere along the way....I ordered a cheeseburger from the little grill by us. It was heavenly...all 4 bites of it. Thank God I can't do french fries or else....

It works like compound interest, Judi.
For whatever you put in, more comes back to you.

I feel your pain Judi, and I sympathize with you. I've been there, done that. I didn't have any trouble eating my Thanksgiving dinner th but I did have trouble with the panini sandwich I made yesterday. What was I thinking??
Ahhh, you're lucky tho Judy. That burger would have tasted like saw dust I'm sure.
Those little bits and "sinful treats" never seem to be actually worth it anyway.
But then you know that better than anyone!
Oh my goodness I hear ya sistah lolol....while in Fl I went to a wonderful craft fair and the smell of burgers grilling did me in. I bought one and by the third bite I thought I was dying. Thank goodness for a trash bin nearby.

Hey, the martinis sounded good at least! I can still eat burgers (without bread), I guess proof that I need more fill...
Judy, you read my mind! I was wondering if I would ever be able to eat a cheeseburger again! My guess is...NO! But like Gen said, I can have the meat & cheese at least!
