Basic Truths and Observations

It's the end of the first week of making a conscious effort to try and be a bit more mindful of what Carl and I are eating.  I have to admit that I've done pretty well despite that lurking within the cupboards of the office where I work are the remnants of the Christmas baskets we received.  As a result, I have been reminded of the basic truths about eating that I just can't deny which are: 

1.  Cake is delicious anytime. 

2.  Broccoli tastes better with cheese sauce.

3.  There is no real substitute for butter.

4.  Fruit does make a great dessert--- But it's even better baked with a crisp topping and served with ice cream. 

5.  At the end of a long day, when you're tired, worn out and stressed out, something 'light and healthy' can make for a disappointing meal. 

These are just my observations after the first week. Todd on the other hand, continues to be stuck on his own observations.

Which are the turkey buzzards that have been flying over our house this weekend.  Each time Todd sees them, he barks and chases them. He's done this so much that now Josh and Charlie are noticing them too.  When they kept coming back, and flying so low, I began to get a little concerned that they might be thinking of Todd as a meal.  Crazy thought?  Probably.  But I looked it up, and read that they won't.  So I'll just let him continue his game as they fly and soar quietly overhead looking for their next meal.  

I wonder how they feel about eating healthy?
