It was Memorial Weekend. We went out of town. I did well until around Sunday afternoon and just slapped on the feed bag.
My final downfall was MIL wanting to go to Village Inn after I picked her up on Tuesday evening. I went in fully intending to not order anything for myself and having a bite or two from what the kids got. When I walked in the door there was a pie in the display case that immediately started calling to me. A Hawaiian strawberry pie.
I tried to ignore it...it just got louder. While I was helping the kids decide what to get, that darn pie came up and tapped me on the shoulder! I kept arguing that I didn't really want it but it was so persistent! The final blow was when Katie wanted to go to the display case to see what she could get. There it was, shining and beautiful, an ethereal glow around it.
All Katie wanted was plain cheesecake,
it looked like dog food next to the Hawaiian. I kept trying to resist...then the waiter came to take our order. I caved. It was so good. I did only eat half of it. I kind of felt yucky afterward, but it was tasty. Now, tell me, which would you have chosen? Hhhhhhmmmmmm?!

Well, now... I wouldn't have picked either one. No pie with dairy in it is worth the pain I'd suffer later. Nothing like a night of twisted guts as a motivator, lol.
But... if I were YOU... I'd have picked the strawberry deal.
