(59,774 posts)Unfortunately, my advanced memory loss keeps me from remembering to do that, especially when something is put before me that smells extraordinarily good. Having a wife who is a gourmet chef doesn't make it any easier on me, either. Worse yet, she's German, so she can do the pastry department, too.

For healthier-eating parts of the year you might even bring your weight down anywhere from 300 to 1500--possibly 3000--percent!

(224 posts)I would argue you but I didn't make enough cookies for the neighbors so I just made a double batch of fudge...which sort of ended up being my dinner and I can't eat anything else because my stomach hurts from all that delicious chocolaty fudge. Sigh.
I didn't mean to eat so much. All I did was eat what was left in the bowl/on the spatula. (a ridiculous amount).

Does that qualify as balanced, or do I need to work in some Stollen, too?
