What’s that? First world problems, you say?

Also, you know when you make a late night pharmacy run and secretly buy a Midnight Milky Way on your way out but can’t finish it before you get home so you have to fess up? I should have stuffed it in my purse. Why did I only just think of that, dang. I am having one of those can’t-stop eating nights. These veggie straws. The Milky Way. The granola I’m about to bust out. It’s like my body just won’t stop wanting food, even though I’m not really hungry.

And all this while I read opposing articles about the Maria Kang meme. What do you guys think? I can see both sides of the issue. Lesson learned? Don’t be a hater. Also, don’t judge people who don’t care about being fit. I read one article that said if there was a meme showing a tuba player that said “What’s your excuse?” it would be a total joke, because who cares about playing the tuba? Body image is such a big deal these days. Can’t we all just sing Kumbaya? And eat some veggie straws?

I have a better idea. Let’s eat this little sphere of heaven. This one’s a classic from Annie over at Annie’s Eats. (If you haven’t checked out her blog, you don’t know what awesome is.) I made this a couple years ago for Thanksgiving and it remains in my mind as one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. I already loved goat cheese, but smother it in more cheese and add basil oil? Sign me up dude. It would be perfect to serve if you are having a Halloween party, or bookmark it for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Or bookmark it for dinner tonight. Because sometimes eating cheese and bread and oil for dinner is okay. Happy Friday everyone!
