"Sugar Shack"

    After a great and fun filled Sunday my wife,
daughter, two grand kids, and two close friends
set out on a special mission.
    Awhile back we discovered a sensational
restaurant (we've actually found a few) where
the food is great and the portions so big that
boxes for left overs are pretty much standard
issue for most customers.
   But wait...there's more!
   To get to the dining area you've got to pass
two display cases filled with pastries!
   Getting by them poses a challenge for even
the most determined dieter.
   Order a dinner and you're get a warm
serving of cinnamon buns before your entry
arrives. They're so good you begin to
wonder if you really want any "real food."
   So, having had a dinner just after church,
and spending several hours watching my
son and grandson race their BMX Bikes
for a charity fund raising event, our
gang decided it would be a good idea to
head to this delightful eatery....just to
have dessert!
   The pastries were....well....let's say
huge!
   My wife's Chocolate cream filled
eclair, if served in a solid form, could
have been used in any of the day's
NFL games in place of the traditional
ball.
   My Peanut Butter "Tandy Cake"-like
serving was about the size of a power
puff. Not the kind in your typical purse!
The kind the three stooges used when
somebody yelled "Makeup!!!"
   As for the children......when kids
can't finish a serving of dessert you
know it had to be big!
   I now suspect the baker behind these
temptations has either got a deal with
the County Dentist's Society or the
Drug Company that produces
insulin!
   You've all heard the old saying
about having dessert first...then the
meal?
   Don't do it!
   As I write it's  been over 7 hours since
we stopped and I'm still on a "Sugar
high" that will probably last most of
Monday!
   Hope you're eating your 'greens'
and that all your NEWS is good!
