The riddle of excercise.
The more I exercise, the hungrier I get,
and the more I feel entitled to eat.
If the equation reads like this:
cardio=hunger+license to eat
why can't there be mathematical reciprocity?
Why can't the equation be read backward like this:
hunger+license to eat=cardio.
So totally unfair.
The March Everyday Food has this section on sweet baked goods make with pizza dough. This is the reason my family has had pizza for dinner 2 out of the past 3 nights.
I had to give it a try, right? It was research.
I make up the dough, divide it in half, be virtuous with the first bit (pizzas and then calzones the second night), and then add goodies to the second half. The Everyday Food people have you add simply obscene amounts of butter and sugar, and I did reel that back quite a bit on the first night. And then to the second night's sweet dough, after decreasing the butter again by half, I added some chocolate chips. It was an excellent trade.
To add a bit more good to the virtuous side, I did sub whole wheat flour for a quarter of the white flour in the dough. Yes, it is a bit like holding my thumb down on the scale to tip the balance, but it must count for something, right?
The photos.. not a one of food.
How does that happen? How do I end up with a bazillion photographs of sewing projects (this is a new prototype for a dice bag), but fail to take a single shot of the chocolate chip sticky buns? Obviously this is some sort of failure of character.
