Whoopie Pies!!!

Do you give yourself permission to eat what ever you want when you're on vacation? I just got back from a week up in York Beach Maine. YIKES! The fudge! The fresh corn on the cob slathered in butter! The whoopie pies!!! How many flavors of whoopie pies are there, anyway? I've personally sampled pumpkin, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate chip, gingerbread and of course chocolate!! (No, not all in one sitting). Oh, and lest I forget the homemade ice cream stands. One of my teachers in high school founded the famous "Shain's" ice cream up in southern Maine many years ago, way before Ben & Jerry.

I indulged in all of it...barbeque every day, potato salad, leafy green lettuce, garden tomato & cuc salad; yes, I tried lobster...again. Can't get past that seafood flavor even though one of my friends added a bit of cider vinegar and a good shot of Tabasco to the melted butter. I'm gonna miss summer when it's gone this year. This was a good one. Of course, autumn is pretty awesome, too...the crisp apples right off the tree, cider donuts, and turkey.

Thank goodness for my bicycle...I'll be riding to work through the cocoa and candy cane season.

Julie !

I had a craving for some Clapton this morning and can listen to CD's at work. I check up on you every now and again, and low and behold a post about Clapton. Hope all is well with you and the kids (even the little furry one).
