The Dessert Spiral of DOOM

Behold my downfall!


How do I repeatedly fall into 
the Dessert Spiral of Doom?

HOW?

Is it Fate?


Is it the Will of God?


Surely it cannot simply be 
my own weakness?


Do I talk myself into it?


Do I have no self-control?


Am I too good at 
self-persuasive excuses?


And hey, did somebody mention . . .


. . . COOKIES?





Am I my own worst enemy?

Is it really that complicated? One reads Mitchell's blog, one sees beautifully-photographed desserts. One sees beautifully-photographed desserts, and there goes the dessert spiral. One might try averting one's eyes or taking cold showers or desperately praying away the temptation, but at the end of the day there is only so much one can do.

Speaking spiral of doom, it's apparently leaked that the Supreme Court will allow states to outlaw abortion

Being in the deep south, poverty will spread like wildfire and thousands of women will die or be a jail cell. Dark times ahead

Full disclaimer: I LOVE Krispy Kreme donuts. They're my favorite.
And I'd have cake every day of the week if I were not so fond of my skinny jeans, I swear.

XOXO

That cookie cutter!

Frank said...

What? No double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting?

BootsandBraids said...

If we ever go back to having cookie swaps around here, I'll be buying and using that cookie cutter.

Boud said...

I really like the football stadium cookies. Great design. You'd have to keep replacing them..

Bob said...

Odd man out here. I'm not a sweets, or even a sweet, person.

Guillaume said...

I feel your pain.

Marie Smith said...

I hate dietary restrictions. Moderation is better though impossible.

Hena Tayeb said...

I agree with the birthday bit.. It's always cake time somewhere right?

pam nash said...

Dessert is a must at my house. I just try to keep sweets to a minimum (sort of - I do have a snickers bar hidden in my side table drawer). I'd like to have a vegetable tray like that one to take anywhere (party, home, meeting, home, etc).

Yvonne said...

This post is super. That Karma Cafe started me laughing, but the pumpkin pie is so true. I drown mine in whipped cream.

Delicious Post, Dear Lady !!

I do love the cookie veggie tray, next party I'll bring my veg imposter Keto sugar cookies! Sweets and any carb for that matter are my downfall. The less of them I eat the less I crave them and the more I enjoy that now and then home baked cookie! Finally I've gotten to the point where I don't feel the need to binge, but it's taken years!

Woowee! I can confirm that the Hebrew word is in fact pronounced "No kale". We're blessed! More chocolate for us.
L'chaim!

Old Lurker:
I’m the guy your mother warned you about. Does it help that I’m currently munching a sugar-free digestive biscuit?

Marcia LaRue said...

I love that veggie tray, too! For those who dislike broccoli 🥦 ... Eat your veggies!
All great memes!!

Old Lurker said...

Mitchell: Yes, tall handsome intelligent men with stupendous art skills are exactly the guys my mother warned me about. That went double for those who became fluent in Spanish as adults. Oh well. At least it is not a black and white cookie, or a patas de cabra.

Mike said...

If you don't eat anything else, it's not dessert. "What did you have for supper?" "COOKIES!"

This N That said...

I just love the cookie cutter..
I have NO self control and..I can't just eat a little bit..I have to eat it all..Why spread it out...??? I try not to have any goodies in my house..I have tried throwing things away but have been known to get it out of the trash hours later...Really bad!!

Tundra Bunny said...

The Cookie Monster and I must have been twins separated at birth, LOL! Being allergic to additives, sorbitol and the other fake sugars has made it easier, in some ways, to give up processed foods in general. I'm still a sucker for home-made cookies, Saskatoon berry pie, or Haagen-Dazs ice cream though!

DVArtist said...

I love the one about kale. Have a great day.

Old Lurker:
Yikes. You make me blush (and go to sleep tonight with a smile on my face). Thanks for that!

Lady M said...

Sweets are not my downfall - that would be potato chips.

Sassybear said...

I was today years old when I learned a gallon of ice cream is not considered a single serving...sigh.

Joanne Noragon said...

You could lose your sight on that doom spiral. Few sweets tempt me. Maybe 96 chocolate.

Kirk said...

I laughed right out loud at the pumpkin pie in the Cool Whip. As far as I'm concerned, there's no other reason to eat pumpkin pie.

Travel said...

Life is short and uncertain, order dessert first.

Ur-spo said...

oh the horror ! All this sugar!
Best not to eat kale though.

John M said...

Why do vegetables and healthy food not taste as good?

Martha said...

Hahaha! These were hilarious. That last image was too funny. Thankfully, I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I'm only weak sometimes with cheesecake and ice cream.

e said...

The veggie tray is perfect!
I like sweets occasionally but my kryptonite is salty and crispy. A bag of chips stands no chance in my pantry.

Rommy said...

Gonzo is my favorite muppet, but I completely relate to Cookie Monster too.

Laura Morrigan said...

Treats are the actual foundation on which life is built. No treats, no life! XD

Liz Hinds said...

I'm definitely on board with the good day/bad day treats. And that first spiral image?! Are you trying to tip us all over the edge?!

Busy Bee Suz said...

These are all so cute. I lol'd at the vegetable/cookie tray!

Fundy Blue said...

OMG! ROFLMAO!
