Marshmallows

Does anything taste as good as toasted marshmallows?

So much for trying to eat healthy this week. I mean, seriously, who expects me to be able to not eat sweets, etc. Especially with vendors who drive you nuts enough to have to drown your stresses in a carb-filled bagel. I had visions of healthy eating after walking out of Starbucks with only a nonfat latte. Yippee! I had made it out of the clutches of the "reduced fat" banana chocolate chip cake. (Reduced being 8g of fat, 4.5g of SAFA and 390 calories, according to starbucks.com) Then came said bagel.

I was actually Ok for much of the day, including lunch, when I dined on cottage cheese and fruit...could be worse. Portion wasn't ideal, but hey, it was a meal. I didn't even snack much all day. Dinner was really delish sushi...except for the spicy sauce and tempura shrimp, it was probably downright healthy.

Then came the marshmallows. Came at me from all angles. Not only did I have some at home as a 'special treat', but one of my agencies put together a s'mores making kit for me for the holidays...and now I have a back up bag. So me, my bamboo skewer and my unscented tea light set up shop with the rest of my "treat" bag of jet puffed and off we toasted. And toasted. And ate some untoasted. And toasted some more. So what are we looking at...40+ marshmallows? It's amazing I'm not the jet-puffed man. Or am I? It might expect quite a bit.
