You Can Take Your Middle Way and Stuff It

On Friday, Jon, Kate & I went to a sundae smorgasbord. It was a beautiful thing. Although I don’t recommend indulging every weekend, once in awhile you should definitely throw all moderation aside and just gorge on something awesome.

This is a bowl of chocolate with hot fudge and whipped cream and candy and more chocolate on top. Also, sprinkles. Possibly there is some melted butterscotch in there as well.

In the words of Jon Heller, I don’t really remember, I was in an ice cream topping fugue.

The ice cream itself was important, so I could claim I ate it for the calcium value. The baby (who is reported to be the size of a small bag of sugar) needs more calcium lately.

We were in the same building as a candy store, so I got my parents some candy (they deserve it – after all, these are the people who had to teach me how to drive) and I picked up a bag for myself as well.

Unfortunately, I have just consumed more than a reasonable share of jelly beans and may shortly expire. Lesson learned: Buddhism works for candy, but may be deviated from in regards to ice cream smorgasbords.
