I gained 5lbs on vacation. But, before you judge me, look at what I had to deal with...

Yeap. You heard right. I gained 5 glorious (sarcasm) pounds on vacation. Of course, I wasn't being as careful as I should have been. And dinner started at 8:15pm -- which is one hour and fifteen minutes after I try to stop eating for the day.  And I can't forget to mention that I had to have at least 3 appetizers every day. And then there was main meal and of course dessert. **Ohhhh dessert** They were all so good and tempting and delicious and wonderful and you would have done the same!! And if you wouldn't have -- I don't believe it and I don't want to hear it.

The other bad thing about big time eating is the pictures. I had one picture that would have been a good one, except that I had a case of the "Prego or Burrito Grande" going on.  If you don't know what I am talking about google it.  The paparazzi kindly takes pictures of actresses and asks if they are prego or burrito grande. Thankfully it's all burrito grande here.  I am thinking once I have been eating "normally" for a bit, I will get myself back to where I was.


I tried to be good at breakfast -- stick to my normal eggs and coffee breakfast. But, those sneaky cinnamon buns were there almost every day. And they were down right delicious with my coffee.  

I decided to share my food pictures on my blog. Rather than, throw them at everyone on facebook. I figure, that way they can avoid the "food porn" or not.  It's all up to you. Some people don't appreciate good food pictures, as much as I do...


Cappuccino cake. A super delicious ice cream concoction.


Steak of some sort. I forget. But, I am sure it was GREAT!


Creme Brulee! This was amazing!


Key Lime Pie


Mongolian Wok. This was spicy!


Not sure what this was, but, it sure looks fantastic!


Fried shrimp with plum sauce.


Cream of potato/cheese soup. Yum!


And who doesn't love warm chocolate melting cake?!!? C#1 had this almost every night.


Seafood medley with pasta. Scrumptious!


Pineapple and orange sherbet. This was the only time I was "good" for dessert.


Prime Rib. Always great!


Chilled mango soup!!


Chateaubriand. Yes, please!!


Bitter and blanc. The vanilla sauce on top was to die for. You could just eat/drink that!

So there you have it. Why I gained some poundage. How could I not. It would have been shameful to have it any other way. And of course, this isn't even all that was eaten. There was food available 24/7.  Who can resist that?!?!?!

Till next time...
