Chunky Dunking
(Picture coming)
Greetings everyone! My name is Christine and I will be a guest blogger for Lorrie while she and her family are away playing with Mickey and friends! Before I start to ramble, I want to convey just how privileged I feel to be a guest blogger for Lorrie and Our Name is Mud! Given a choice, I would rather blog for Lorrie than meet Johnny Depp! (Yes, that is the truth. Give me a lie detector test and I’ll prove it!). So, without further adieu, here is my first guest blog for Goddess Veasey, and of course it has to do with my arch enemy, food….with today’s topic being breakfast.
Cracked, 100% whole wheat bread, toasted: GOOOOOD!
Coffee in a Genius mug made by the Princess of Pottery: EXCEEEELLLENT!
Tons of Peanut Butter: BAAAAAAAD!
Yes, this is supposed to be my version of a healthy breakfast! Coffee with Equal and fat free Half & Half (because we have to save those calories!). The mug of course makes my coffee taste a million times better! And then there is the EVIL of all evil, peanut butter. Although I usually go chunky dunking, a.k.a. chunky peanut butter, I was in such a hurry in the store yesterday that I grabbed creamy instead. When I noticed it when I got home, I said to myself “well, at least I will save a few calories without the peanuts”… yeah, right!
According to the jar of peanut butter, a measly 2 tbsp. of this creamy temptation equates to 190 calories and 17g fat. While I am happy with the carbs (6g), and protein (7g), the rest just makes me shutter! Ugh!
I have absolutely no idea how much peanut butter I put on my toast this morning. I just took the knife and dug deep into the world of creaminess and slathered it on nice and thick. Yum! And I sit here and wonder why my elastic waist lines seem to expand gradually!
Could I live without peanut butter? Probably. Do I want to? No way! The problem is that I have absolutely NO self control with it, especially when it is wrapped in chocolate. And don’t even get me started on that! I think a majority of Reese’s and Gertrude Hawk profits come from my pocket! Oh those wretched little peanut butter smidgens!!
But lets face reality here people…
Tons of peanut butter: GOOOOOOD!!
Lorrie – if you happen to see Peter Pan flying around Disney anywhere, give him my warmest regards!!

This is the first time I am reading Christine's guest blog and I have to say--given the chance to meet her or Johnny Depp that I probably would chose Johnny--but just because I would need to question him intensely about his "craft" ...so no offense Christine--you rock... and if it was a choice between meeting you and meeting Brad Pitt--well, then I would SO CHOOSE YOU!
And just FYI: I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER TOO! Let's make it the official Mudblog fanfood. I eat mine (Jif Chunky) spread ever so thinly--in New Yawk we say a shmear--on a brown rice cake in order to save calories. then I promptly eat THE WHOLE PACKAGE OF RICE CAKES.
