Well, it’s official–Lent is finally over! I did a pretty good job of sticking with my Lenten promise of giving up fried foods, and today is the first day in over two months I’ll have eaten Chick-Fil-a, which is more than impressive if you live in my world.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday! I was happy to spend it with my family (and Taylor!), who graciously came down to Charleston to celebrate with me, since I was too lazy to drive to Greenville (I mean, I’ve been traveling almost constantly over the past month, you can’t blame me for being sick of the car #firstworldproblems). We celebrated on Saturday instead of Sunday, since everyone has a bunch of traveling to do, and it was amazing and stupendous and other adjectives for great.
My mother made lamb, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, two apple pies, and a pecan pie and I ate too much, which no one is surprised by. We spent the evening playing board games and laughing and having a great time, which is one of the things I really love about family time during holidays.
Today’s food quote is a celebration of me finally being able to eat fried things again. I had never thought so before, but after reading this quote, I actually think Cameron Diaz and I could be friends in real life.
“French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar.”
–Cameron Diaz
But only if she brings the Ogre.
