What's Cookin' With That Diet of His?

Some of you may be wondering what I could possibly be concocting with the above foods.  Maybe it will help to look at the individual items in a little more detail.

  • two 40 ounce jars of Jif Creamy Peanut Butter (sorry Harriet)
  • one 14 ounce can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (could we even have holiday desserts without this stuff?)
  • a 13 ounce jar of Nutella (it used to be so European, now it's everywhere)
  • a 6 ounce container of Dannon Naturals Coffee Yogurt (Mthr. M-G is SO happy the sell this in our town)
  • a dish containing 1.3 ounces of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Colors (now with natural food coloring!)

Altogether, that's 7.2 pounds of food!   That's a lot.  Imagine carrying that around all the time.  I mean ALL the time.  Grocery store, work, school, home, bed, shower: doesn't matter.  ALL the time.

"Why would one do that?" you may ask. 

I don't know, but a week ago to day I was carrying that much extra weight.  Today, I'm not. 

It's a heck of an image.
