Kitchen Cupboard Confessional

We've now been on vacation for one week, and I'm burdened with a transgression I have to bring to light. I've gained three pounds. Shameful, isn't it? I've decided to list the offending accomplices here, but I don't feel too bad since it's vacation AND I've been trying to run or walk as many mornings as I can (or feel like it).

• Wilcoxson's Fudgebars and Ice Cream Sandwiches - at least one a day, some days I've eaten two
• Lay's Sourcream and Onion chips
• Pringles
• Asparagus and Jalepeno dip (serving size is two tablespoons. yeah, right! I've put that much on each cracker.)
• Half a pan of cheese breadsticks at Mackenzie River Pizza
• Capn' Crunch
• About half a pound of salt water taffy (Can you believe we found Dr. Pepper taffy? It was close but not quite the same.)
• Close to a 12-pack of various sodas (In my defense, most of it has been diet, but I've had hardly any water. We've discovered Black Cherry Fresca while we've been here - it's so good. I usually drink about two liters of water a day when I'm at work.)
• Chocolate chip cookies
• Lemonade ice cream dessert
• George (see recipe)
• Godfather's pizza with sausage, olives and mushrooms (at least I'm getting my veggies)
• Fried chicken
• Potato salad (yummy! Momma K's potato salad rocks!)
• Hostess Ding Dongs and Twinkies
• Jumbo marshmallows
• and, still to come, Caramel Cookie Waffels (www.caramelcookiewaffles.com), a must-have when in Billings.

Final disclaimer: no one tied me down and force-fed me any of this. It was all of my own free will and choice.

Post-post: one of my biggest pet peeves is when businesses change the spelling of words (mostly words that start with C) thinking it's cute. I hate that! For instance, Krazy Korn Kountry (a corn maze in Billings we saw). None of those words start with K so why don't they say Crazy Corn Country? I see it a lot with children's stores - Kozy Kids Korral, Kountry Kids Klothing, and so on. As if English weren't hard enough for kids to learn, why do people komplicate it by spelling things wrong? Why am I writing this? I could have easily named this post "Kitchen Kupboard Konfessional," but that'd be worse than gaining three pounds in my books. (Yes, I know I spelled complicate with a "k". I was trying to be phunny.)
