Don't you want some cheesecake?

So, we had a really "Rankely" weekend and got to spend some time with our favorite DC relatives, Pete and Lauren. :) And of course, we planned our usual escape route: to the Cheesecake Factory.

Given the nature of my quest, finding a dessert that is healthy eating approved is quite difficult, especially when the waiter is incredulous that you would just like the "bowl of strawberries, thank you". To be nice, I ordered a side of ice cream to go with and did the Weight Watchers- dip your spoon in it- technique to get the flavor and reduce the calories. It was actually pretty satisfying, I have to say.

Can someone please tell my waistline that I am doing all these wonderful things to make it happy and it can show it's appreciation any day now?!

  1. You didn't even include the part about ordering -- and eating -- the bowl of strawberries... and ONLY the bowl of strawberries, while your fellow Lauren sat across from you inhaling the brownie sundae portioned for a lumberjack. It was impressive. (You were impressive, not the brownie.) It was great to see you!
