Slightly Off-Balance

Happy Thanksgiving!

As I mentioned last night, I am going to do seven posts about my seven deadly sins.  Last night I covered vanity.  In honor of the tens of thousands of calories I plan to consume today, I am covering the second sin: gluttony.  Here are my seven guilty pleasures – narrowing it down to seven will be tough!

1. C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E
2. Wine
3. Any cocktail with rum, but not Malibu rum – too sweet!
4. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting
5. Jaeger
6. Carnitas
7. Pizza and beer

And what makes me the most gluttonous?  That I would gladly attempt to eat and drink all of the above on the same day! 

I feel compelled to dedicate this post to several friends.  You know who you are and here’s why:

• Most people think of Napa for its wine, but we know it’s just a beautiful food fest with wine on the side. 
• CRACK CAKE!  This cake is more addictive than any drug I have ever heard of.
• We won’t drink the whole bottle tonight… (famous last words about wine)
• Hmmmm – the universal sound of gluttony.
• She has hidden candy bars in her couch!  Really!
