Laziness And gluttony
It’s Wednesday which means break time from doing Turbo Fire. No workout today so I thought I’d read up on eyelash growth products for my fashion blog. For some reason, I’ve eaten too much today. Well not to the pointwhere I’m busting out my clothes, but I’ve just eaten more today than I usually eat on a daily basis. The day that I’m not supposed to work out is the day I’m just going for it. Ayayay.
It started with slices of fried eggplants and some leftover rice, and pico de gallo, for breakfast. And then the leftover baked trout with pico de gallo for lunch. Then a couple of homemade cinnamon rolls with apples for afternoon snacks. For dinner, I just devoured 2 bacon cheeseburgers. What the hell? I asked myself earlier if I feel depressed. My heart and brain said no. My monthly period is done so it’s not PMS. I don’t think it’s stress coz I’m always stressed so there’s nothing new there. Maybe I’m just hungry today from all the moderation diet and working out I’ve been doing. Aaahhhhhhhhhh.
I’m going to sneak a 30-minute HIIT workout in a few minutes just so I would feel better about myself before I go to bed today. Then I’ll double up my workout tomorrow.
Food, Cooking, Marriage, & Parenting All In One
Whenever my husband enjoys our dinner immensely he would say,
“damn that was disgusting I ate all of it”
Sometimes that involves second and third helpings.
Early on, my son would react coz he didn’t get the irony between the empty plate and the word disgusting. It was kinda cute how he would defend me by firmly saying the food is not disgusting and I’m the best cook in the world although it usually takes him 2 hours to finish his dinner. He just doesn’t like it when someone says something bad about my cooking. Father or not.
Anyhooo, last week I made some broiled chicken pieces where the skin got a little bit burnt. Just a little of course, yah know, broiler effect which my husband likes apparently.
My husband told our son after thanking me for a delicious dinner,
“Caine, I hope you find a wife that cooks just as good as your mother.”
And I said oh so surely…
“I hope so coz I’m certainly not cooking for you all your life.”
Of course that was a big fat lie.
The Egg In A Hole Experience
This food post could have easily gone to Feistycook but I’ve decided to post it here instead because it is such an easy breakfast to make that is very kid-friendly. Seriously too easy. Cut a hole or any other shapes on a slice of bread, melt butter on a griddle or non-skillet pan, place the slices of bread on the griddle, break an egg into each hole, season with salt and pepper, cook for a few minutes, flip to cook the other side and VOILA, fun breakfast for the whole family.
This is a classic breakfast that is so easy to make you can make this with your eyes closed. Well, maybe not. Campers love this stuff.
It’s Like, We’re So connected
My friend Star posted a picture of her Sonic Pumpkin Pie Shake in Facebook and I almost licked my screen monitor dry. I realized my monitor is dusty so I decided to just make a mental note to tell my husband when he gets home from school that the next time we head out to town where there is Sonic, we MUST try the pumpkin pie shake.
He got home, we ate dinner, he checked out stuff online while I continued to watch a marathon of Criminal Minds. I’ve totally forgotten about the pumpkin pie shake. I was concentrating on helping the FBI solve another rape and murder case. Yah know, Criminal Minds.
Wordless Wednesday: Chocolate Goodness
I made a chocolate-peanut butter pudding pie yesterday and took this shot for the foodblog. I was BEYOND happy looking at all that chocolate goodness. It almost did not make it into the pie crust, hehehe.

I Should Have Stopped At Cupcake #5
So my husband grabbed this container of cupcakes from Wal-Mart last week and guess who’s suffering now? ME, of course, and I saw it coming too. I could feel it in my teeth in cupcake #3. I told my husband I shouldn’t eat any more after cupcake #4. But those cute little vanilla cupcakes with whipped frosting in different colors of pink, blue and purple were just too good. I’m a sucker for whipped frosting too so I knew it would be the death of me but I was stubborn.
I’m pretty sure I ate more than 5 of those. There were a lot in the pack coz the cupcakes were put together to form a size of 1/4 sheet cake. I was competing with my children on who could eat more cupcakes. In our defense we didn’t eat all of them in one day. We went through ‘em for maybe 3 days.
Fast forward to yesterday and today, I’m pouting and whining like a baby coz my gums and abscess tooth hurt like hell. My husband scheduled a Dentist appointment for me so let’s see what the Dentist will do for me. I’m guessing I will be crying even more when I see the bill. Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
No more cupcakes with whipped frosting from Wal-Mart. Welllllllllllll, maybe just a couple next time. I’m hopeless, I know!
Wordless Wednesday: Gotcha Rolls!
After talking to my Dad on the phone last night, I caught my daughter helping herself with the cinnamon rolls ON the table. Bear in mind that she already had 2 pieces after dinner. She even had the fork ready as soon as I took the rolls out of the oven. She must have a sirius satellite in her head coz she was definitely ready to eat them before the rolls even had time to cool down. But then again, the aroma from those delicious rolls enveloped the whole house while baking. Oh, and that’s a spatula she was holding by the way.
Happy Wordless Wednesday. Check out other entries at 5 Minutes for Mom.
