Now that I'm back in D.C. for 2 weeks, I've decided that I simply must lose the excess weight I managed to gain during the 1 week drive across this great country. GK and I found that it is just littered with Denny's, Cracker Barrel and the like...and now it's easy to see why this nation has such a weight problem. I managed to develop one inside of a week, yikes! Anyway, after being very good (about my diet) all day long, my sister Lauren and I just made a trip to the grocery store for the necessary breakfast foods; yogurt, raspberries and granola. We also managed to pick up some chocolate chip cookie dough along the way. Of course we both needed our own though, I bought the Pillsbury variety while Lauren opted for Nestle Tollhouse. As she was eating the dough straight from the roll, I pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees. Looking puzzled she asked, "what are you doing? don't you want some dough?" I told her that I'd rather eat my cookies warm right out of the oven with milk. And she looked at me in disgust and said one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time "oh, you're so L.A. now, you and your cooked cookies!" I almost fell to the floor I laughed so hard. I'm only typing in my blog right now as I wait for 2 more cookies to bake.
