tough choices

 My west coast brother informs me that today is "National Chocolates Day," "National Lemon Cream Pie Day," and, are you ready for this? "National Rice Cakes Day."  Now, I don't know about you, but when I decide to celebrate a special food day I naturally choose the healthiest option.  Looking at these three choices, I immediately eliminated the rice cakes, I mean, face it, there's nothing there.  And I should know. I ate my share of rice cakes in my dieting days.  But those days are behind me.  The last time I went to my GP for a check up, he told me that my weight was just fine.  He didn't say it out loud but I could sense the rest of the sentence "for your age."  But never mind, now I just concentrate on eating healthy food, so I thought hard.  Lemon cream pie, obviously full of fruit and dairy, or chocolate, which everyone knows, is one of the basic food groups.  Especially dark chocolate, which happens to be my favorite.  Decisions, decisions.  Fortunately for me, today's choice was easy.  I have no lemons but, as it happens, my FF makes excellent dark chocolate fudge.  He made some for Thanksgiving and there were still a few pieces left today.  The operative word here is 'were.'  They are a sweet memory now, but we can rest assured that we did eat healthy today.
