Vice squad

On a fairly regular basis, I take heat from Chris for eating all of the candy/cookies/cake/sweet things in the house.

Her accusations are not without merit, though it's not as bad as she says it is. For example, I eat very little ice cream. Too much fat, too many calories. We've had a half-gallon of vanilla in the freezer for months.

The exception, of course, is peppermint stick ice cream. And it's back in stores in time for ... well, in time for me to want to eat it all.

It will take me about a month to eat it all, and then I'll go get another package and call it good for the year. See? I'm in complete control here.

(Is it too early to have some?)
