Cookies and Cake (And some meat)

I started my wonderful day off with a breakfast of champions. Ok, so it was just a brotein bar.


For lunch, while working on my weekly Western Civ reflection paper, I had a nice 4 servings of chocolate PB2.


I think I may have added slightly too much water, but it was good. It was a nice peanut butter soup.

Sidney then informed me that she is capable of making Sidney Cookies in our oven, which is a big deal because before now we had not been able to replicate her wonderful cookies anywhere else besides her parents' house. Well, that's all changed now. So when I got home, I found this in the fridge:


Naturally, I did this:


And with all the raw flour scares recently, this is a double whammy of raw eggs and raw flour. I felt fine after I ate it, so I must be alight.

It was then time to mow our giant yard. Seriously, our yard is not so much a yard as it is a vast expanse of green sea. It takes an hour and a half to mow it with a 54-inch mower going at questionably high speeds. But I like mowing, so it's all good.


About an hour in, Sidney got home and joined me in the mowing festivities. After we got done, we did some good old fashioned lawn mower street racing.


She's a bump-draft kind of racer, too. You gotta watch out, because she takes no prisoners.

To quell the hunger pains brought on by an hour of sitting on a lawn mower, I had a snack. Enjoy the preview of things still to come...


Now for the feature presentation. For dinner, we had a nice roast that had been slow roasting all day.


It had some potatoes, carrots, and onions thrown in with some onion soup mix thrown in for flavor.

Sidney had also picked up a loaf of sourdough from WheatFields. Looks like this will be a cheat day.


I chunked up the roast, but I made sure to leave the pieces really big, because there's nothing more satisfying than biting into a big ole hunk of meat.


Here's a better look at heaven:


All put together, our dinner was looking pretty great.


Sidney made some more fried apples, and I heated up some Ted Grinter Sweet Corn.


Now it was time for the bread consumption. I got out the butter dish and a stick of butter.


I started off with one piece.


For those of you with a keen eye, you may have noticed the plate of cookies that Sidney had just baked. Yeah, they were still warm, and they're my greatest food weakness. Today was definitely going to be a cheat day.


I started off with one.


And then I probably had 6 more, along with several more pieces of bread with butter.

Later, in an attempt to work off bit of those carbs, and actually more so because I like helping Sidney's dad out, I found myself in a field of sweet corn.



At one point, I even found a quadruplet ear. I'm used to twins and triplets, but this is ridiculous.


When I got back inside at Sidney's parents' house, I found this:


What looks like a chocolate cake is actually something much more. Chocolate, yes. But this is a zucchini cake. It tastes nothing like zucchini and everything like chocolate. The zucchini makes it super moist, though. I had to have a piece.


And with that, I was officially banned from eating any more today.
