Don’t Drink and Eat Cake

November 20, 2011

You know when you see something that really tickles you and you laugh like crazy even though it’s not really that funny? That’s what happened when I saw this:

Quick story: When I was in grad school, I had a birthday party for a friend. We went out, had an awesome time, then everyone came back to my house for some more drinks. At that time, I was doing Atkins, which meant I was drinking hard alcohol (as opposed to wine or beer), and I wasn’t eating sugar or flour.

In my drunken stupor around 2am, I was sitting at my dining room table with my friend’s half eaten cake in front of me while my friend Jake and I bantered about something stupid. You know how alcohol impaires judgement? Well, I decided that cake was TOTALLY Atkins-friendly IF I removed the icing. No idea where that came from, but it made perfect sense to me. Jake and I peeled back the layers of frosting with our fingers while I ate the white cake underneath. It was really funny at the time…. until I puked. Lesson learned: Don’t drink and eat cake.

Anyway, here’s recap of some things from this week I’d love if you’d check out:

    Cake is my nemesis. I’ll eat cake even if I don’t like it. (e.g. “Man, this banana flavored cake is disgusting. Who wants fruit flavored cake? This is almost healthy. Wish I didn’t have to eat two slices of it… *Nom Nom Nom*”)

    *snort*. Duly noted. I wish I could blame alcohol for all the cake I’ve consumed this weekend – Leftovers from the (now) 3-year-old’s birthday cake. You know, the one I told her she couldn’t have before breakfast – not that that stopped me from sneaking some.

    My blog has been somewhat neglected this week, but I did do a guest post for Losing It in Ottawa. “19 Food-Free Friend Dates” (http://losingitinottawa.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/19-food-free-friend-dates/). Warning: The karaoke may *require* alcohol.
