A rampage is what my sweet tooth has been up to! Tuesday I fell off the wagon rather badly; and yesterday I went overboard BIG time with cookies and candy.

I don’t know why this happens. Maybe I’m trying to be too stringent, and that can easily backfire. Possibly my body sensed the dropping barometric pressure — there was a severe T-storm warning during mid-afternoon — and reacted by craving sugar.

I didn’t actually feel hungry; but I sure wanted to eat. Why didn’t that wait for today? It’s Thanksgiving, after all!

This morning I went out on the hybrid to get a few groceries. The first store I went to is closed today; the second wasn’t open yet, and I didn’t want to stand around for 45 minutes. At the third store, I had better luck.

Around 10 am I went out on the road bike. It’s warm enough for shorts today, but very humid; that’s no surprise after yesterday afternoon’s torrential downpour. Even at noon, it was still misty. I’m glad I didn’t have to ride at 5 am. But almost no wind at all! Hooray!

Now I’m planning a rampage through the kitchen. That is, after I wash the dishes and pots that are already in the sink! I want to cook more stuff to freeze.

What about Thanksgiving Dinner? No sweat. I opened a can of chicken white meat; and I mixed a can of pumpkin puree with sweetened condensed milk and some spices. Easy, crust-free pumpkin “pie”!
