This morning I began my digestive day with three prunes, Sunsweet to be specific. They are actually very tasty but it makes me feel old to be eating prunes on purpose. I always thought prunes were one of those dietary items destined to be disguised in some kind of combo dish. That way you obtained the benefits of all their anti-oxidants and vitamins without being aware of what you were actually eating.
But no. These days I know I need to eat my prunes and therefore, I just down a few (hard core /commando) with a cup of tea.
Ah, but then I decided to just go crazy and followed up the prunes with a gourmet peanut butter cookie from The Cookie Shoppe. Wowzer! What a rush.
I am pretty sure I will be able to run on the sugar high until sometime next week. Of course the sheer size of that one cookie (somewhere between a pancake and a dinner platter) explains the hit to the old bloodstream.
But there is a wonderful benefit to this super-sized lip-smacker, I can bat my eyes and innocently proclaim, "But I only ate just one."
Ahhhh, I think I will go run around the block first, then scrub down the sidewalks, vacuum the garage, sweep the street, weed the south forty by hand, and then whip a dozen souffle's for the neighbors.
That ought'a do it. Just in case you are wondering, I typed this little missive at approximately 120 words per minute. Shoot, I could have written War and Peace in two hours if I had eaten two of those peanut butter cookies. Yowzer!
I'm tellin' ya, John Denver and his measly Rocky Mountain High had nothing on me. I am on a Peanut Butter Pinnacle here - so there!
Hope your day runs along nicely, too. But if you are feeling a little sluggish, you might want to try munching down a peanut butter cookie the size of Texas. It will fix you right up!
Until next time ... Marsha
It's unfortunate that I LOVE cookies the way I do. I could probably eat 3 of them before I felt the sugar "hit". Sure looks and sounds good and you're gonna have a great productive day if you do 1/3 of the things you listed. LOL
ReplyDeleteSweet Tea - You are I are "cookie sisters" I am sure. But honestly, I don't think anyone could eat three of these puppies - they are HUGE! :)
DeleteThere's absolutely nothing in the world like a peanut butter cookie. Yum! :) And hey, prunes first? Sounds like a balanced diet to me. Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteyou made me laugh. :) 120 wpm.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by today and leaving a comment! really appreciate it! blessings to you, and good luck with that sugar rush! :)
I don't think I've ever seen such huge biscuits. Ours are much smaller here - maybe that's why I have to guzzle them in 6s.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!!! Those sugar rushes can be intense! Prunes are healthy, so they cancel out the cookie...
ReplyDeleteYou gave me a big ole smile today with this post! Keep on downing those cookies girlfriend! I happen to love prunes or as they are now socially acceptable called 'dried plums'! My Grams made a batch of stewed apricots and prunes every week and served it to us every visit. Memories...
ReplyDeleteCrank up the John Denver and enjoy the rest of your high...
Hugs~
Oh those cookies sure do look tasty!!! You made made laugh with your 120wpm - there must have been smoke flying off your keys :))
ReplyDeleteI love those dried prunes. But I remember when I was a girl my mum used to put tinned prunes with custard - yukkk I hated them then.
I am all for cookies - as long as it's "only one!" *wink* I love prunes - unfortunately I could down tons of them, so I rarely buy them. They're just too tempting - especially (for some reason( those individually wrapped ones. They really do seem like candy. Have you ever eaten too many prunes? Take it from me - it's disastrous.
