Comfort food
I was shopping for food at Wal-Mart this weekend, and the entire store is already well into the whole Thanksgiving atmosphere. The seasonal foods are heavily promoted, and it was really hard to resist the temptation. Eventually I gave in, but at least I decided to eat something as healthy as possible, which meant I had to make it myself. I bought reduced-fat graham pie crust, and the pumpkin pie mix. As soon as I got home I fired up the oven and put a pie together. Actually, I just turned the the oven on to the desired temperature; 'fired up' sounds more quaint, and, ehm, seasonal. The expression goes well with the holiday mood that I was aiming for. The pie was gone within 24 hours. Sure, Sharmin did her small part, but I ate the lion's share. Weight watching will have to wait for another day.
