Food Digest

Currently chopping apples for a pie or two the Missus is planning on making for our Memorial Day weekend festivities. A houseguest is always more appreciated when they come bearing pie.

Also, this was the maiden voyage of my new, green santoku knife that I got from Amazon for $9.50. For some reason, I decided that I’d be more helpful to the Missus in the kitchen if I had a dedicated (and flashy) knife to use while chopping up fruits and vegetables. I have to say, it’s a cheap knife, but it worked quite well. And I still have all my fingers and both thumbs, so that’s what I call a win-win.

Yogurt and granola: The healthy man’s dessert. (And mine too, tonight…)

After running groceries, putting away groceries, doing the dishes, mopping the floor, hanging up the laundry, watering the lawn and feeding the cat, I decided it was dessert time. The Missus and I split the last two pieces of ice cream cake from her birthday barbecue while watching the latest episode of Veep. Not exactly a rock and roll Tuesday night, but it can’t be cocaine-and-hookers all the time, right? 

A reasonable bowl of peanut M&Ms.

One of the Missus’ friends brought an Oreo ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins. It was, of course, very tasty.

You have no idea how much I wanted a chocolatey treat for dessert after I got home from a long work day. No dice. Had to settle for granola-on-yogurt. I need to sneak some bad-for-me treats into the grocery cart sometime soon. This house has become too healthy.
