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.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking spiral of doom, it's apparently leaked that the Supreme Court will allow states to outlaw abortion
ReplyDeleteBeing 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting?
ReplyDeleteIf we ever go back to having cookie swaps around here, I'll be buying and using that cookie cutter.
ReplyDeleteI really like the football stadium cookies. Great design. You'd have to keep replacing them..
ReplyDeleteOdd man out here. I'm not a sweets, or even a sweet, person.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI hate dietary restrictions. Moderation is better though impossible.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the birthday bit.. It's always cake time somewhere right?
ReplyDeleteDessert 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).
ReplyDeleteThis post is super. That Karma Cafe started me laughing, but the pumpkin pie is so true. I drown mine in whipped cream.
ReplyDeleteDelicious Post, Dear Lady !!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWoowee! I can confirm that the Hebrew word is in fact pronounced "No kale". We're blessed! More chocolate for us.
ReplyDeleteL'chaim!
Old Lurker:
ReplyDeleteI’m the guy your mother warned you about. Does it help that I’m currently munching a sugar-free digestive biscuit?
I love that veggie tray, too! For those who dislike broccoli 🥦 ... Eat your veggies!
ReplyDeleteAll great memes!!
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.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't eat anything else, it's not dessert. "What did you have for supper?" "COOKIES!"
ReplyDeleteI just love the cookie cutter..
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
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!
ReplyDeleteI love the one about kale. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteOld Lurker:
ReplyDeleteYikes. You make me blush (and go to sleep tonight with a smile on my face). Thanks for that!
Sweets are not my downfall - that would be potato chips.
ReplyDeleteI was today years old when I learned a gallon of ice cream is not considered a single serving...sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou could lose your sight on that doom spiral. Few sweets tempt me. Maybe 96 chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLife is short and uncertain, order dessert first.
ReplyDeleteoh the horror ! All this sugar!
ReplyDeleteBest not to eat kale though.
Why do vegetables and healthy food not taste as good?
ReplyDeleteHahaha! 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.
ReplyDeleteThe veggie tray is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI like sweets occasionally but my kryptonite is salty and crispy. A bag of chips stands no chance in my pantry.
Gonzo is my favorite muppet, but I completely relate to Cookie Monster too.
ReplyDeleteTreats are the actual foundation on which life is built. No treats, no life! XD
ReplyDeleteI'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?!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cute. I lol'd at the vegetable/cookie tray!
ReplyDeleteOMG! ROFLMAO!
