It's just so wrong
My husband knows I have a terrible weakness for ice cream. I finished off my last 100 calorie ice cream sandwich today. I was glad because there would no longer be temptation staring me in the face every time I opened the freezer door. I only buy ice cream every couple of months, or off the ice cream truck one bar at a time. Otherwise, I find myself sitting at the dining room table after the kids go off to school gobbling down a huge bowl.
I have lost a bit of weight since the fall, and would like to keep it that way. I've been indulging a bit much lately and know it is time to pull back the reins a bit, unless I would like to break out a pair of larger pants from my large selection of sizes (c'mon, we all have fat pants, skinny pants, and a few sizes in between....you just never know if you might need those larger sizes ever again). Steve seems to think I still need to gain a pound or two, so he brought me home more ice cream. Not just any ice cream, certainly not my 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches. Oh no, he brought home 270 calorie per 1/2 cup Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Of course, we all know you can't eat just a half cup of ice cream. Whoever decided a half cup of ice cream was your standard serving size was insane. Although, maybe he was trying to keep us from having a heart attack when we realized (after eating the whole pint) that we had consumed over a thousand calories in one sitting.
So after a wonderful dinner of wonderfully fattening homemade flammenkuchen (well, the dough was store bought, but I rolled it out and cooked the panchetta, thinly sliced the onion and spread on the creme fraiche), I ate a half pint of Ben and Jerry's too.
I can't be too mad at Steve though. He agreed to fill in for a friend's sunday school class tomorrow. Seems this week the lesson is on the husband and the wife and meeting the sexual needs of your spouse. Serves him right!
Steve is waiting for me to finish up so we can watch "Snakehead Terror". We taped it on the Sci-Fi channel earlier today. It looks wonderfully cheesy and is set in Maryland too. I'm a sucker for a good B movie. Hmmm, a bear was just killed by a snakehead fish, or maybe a school of 'em, who knows, but this deserves my undivided attention.

that flammenkuchen looks delicious!!!
What's the origin of the flammenkuchen?? I've never heard of it before, and it looks awesome.
Ice cream I can pass on -- yummy cakes however -- pretty tough to resist!
oh --- and "B" movies rule! A lot of time I will default to the Sci-Fi channel's "B" movies (especially if its a "monster" movie) if I want something on in the background. :)
Janie, you should obey your husband. Especially when he is telling you to eat more ice cream.

1. Yum yum yum on that ice cream!! I'm not really that big on ice cream (I mean I like it and all, but it's not something I crave), but that just looks heavenly! Or evil, however you want to look at it.
2. ROFLBO at Steve's SS class!! Did you have to help him?
