Eatin' Good in the 20's Neighborhod - PUDGE PORN INCLUDED!

Howdy 20-somethings! How is your weekend going?  I got a lot accomplished today.  I hope you guys aren't sick of me talking about this yet, but my Advanced Writing professor was so impressed with my first attempt at a chapter for my book that he had his wife and other colleagues read it.  He has gone on and on about how good it was in class (which I am semi-embarassed about because he hasn't done that for anyone else in my class - which is full of excellent writers btw) and I am just so pumped.  Today I worked on the next couple of chapters.  It is going to be a collection of essays - one of those essays being a revised version of my "pudge porn" creative nonfiction essay on my blog.  It is really coming together!  SO...on with the show! 9am - 4 oz espresso, 6 oz skim milk, 1 oz hazelnut davinci sf syrup, a dollup of cool whip and 1 teaspoon of grated dark chocolate 10 oz water Noon - 1 oz almonds, 1 beef stick and 1/3 cup of garlic and chive cheese curds 20 oz water 3pm - 3/4 cup of home made chicken and rice soup 10 oz water 3:30pm - 1 milk chocolate hazelnut truffle w/ dark chocolate drizzled on top....mmmmm 20 oz water 7pm - 1/3 cup of cheez its, 2 beef sticks Okay, here is where if you can't handle looking at yummy food post-ops shouldn't over indulge in, you should quit while you're ahead.  This is a photo of the yummy truffles I got for Valentine's Day (minus 3 that I ate before taking this picture today....)  The plan is to eat one a day until they are gone.  So far, I've been very good about that - be impressed! Allow me to tell you what you are looking at:  Top left corner - milk chocolate hazelnut truffle with dark chocolate swirls on top, the white square a little bit to the right of it is a white chocolate shell w/ dark chocolate swirl, filled with a strawberry biscotti square, to the upper right of that (the one with the dark brown dot on top) that is an espresso truffle - dark chocolate shell on the bottom, the white chocolate shell on top, filled with espresso cream, topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean, the big round one to the right of that is a "peanut butter bucket" which Kyle promises to help me eat, next to that is a dark chocolate macadamia cluster, to the bottom left of that is a dulce de leche creame, to the right bottom of that (the speckled one) is a milk chocolate macadamia truffle, to the left of that is a kahula truffle, to the upper left of that is a chocolate dipped oreo (1/2 white chocolate, 1/2 dark chocolate), to the bottom left of that (the little oval one) is a milk chocolate vanilla brulee truffle, and finally the one in the left lower corner is a milk chocolate almond truffe.  Mmmmmmm.

There were a couple more than this - a white chocolate truffle (made with white chocolate and crumbled almonds for a shell, filled with strawberry fluff), a classic American deluxe truffle (milk chocolate shell with a chocolate mousse filling), and a dark chocolate coffee cream truffle (dark chocolate shell w/ swirls of milk chocolate for decor, filled with espresso/chocolate cream) but I have been eating them one by one (one a day) since last Tuesday.  YUM!

That is so great your prof is excited over you!!!!!  Congrats! I have TWO more days of tube feeding!  By th end of tonight I'll have had 8 oz of broth, 25 oz of protein shake, and 40 oz of Crystal Lite.
