Brownies, Cookies, and Pies, Oh My!

Barbequed turkey. Baked ham. Creamed corn. Baked beans. Butterbeans. Macaroni and cheese. Potato salad. I always want to eat some of all of it, but after a serving of three or four items, I’m about to burst. And then there’s the dessert table.

Brownies. Chocolate chip cookies. Lemon pie. Chocolate pie. Oreo cheesecake. Butter pumpkin pie. A healthy person could go into a diabetic coma — and it’d be worth it. I always want to eat some of all of it, but after a serving of three or four items, I’m thinking, “Oh God, what have I done to myself?”

On Thanksgiving day, and on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I always end up eating more at one meal than I’d normally eat in three meals any other day of the year. You’d think I could live for at least a couple of days without needing to eat again, but somehow, I end up hungry again come breakfast.
