food for thought

this morning we decided to make the short trek out to ikea to pick up a couple bookshelves for our office. we got there just after they opened, and went straight to the eatery where we got 2 breakfast plates (scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns), a giant cinnamon roll, a bottle of water and a cup of coffee for $4. the breakfast plates were only 99 cents! what a bargain!

i work right around the corner from otis spunkmeyer. and they have a little store out front. my boss has been bringing back a dozen cookies everyday he's in the office (which was every day last week). they're insanely delicious, and warm! friday after work, i stopped by on my way home, and bought a pound of frozen cookie dough that was on sale for only $2.65!! again, what a bargain! so today after dinner, i baked 6 of them, knowing if i baked all 12 (they're individually frozen balls of cookie dough that you just plop onto a cookie sheet) we would proceed to eat all 12. and that would be soooo bad, since each cookie has 10 grams of fat. yikes. i try not to think about that when i'm eating them.
