Dessert Overboard
Oh my gosh! A moment of weakness. Totally lost control. What? Dessert overboard that’s what I’m calling it. We’ve all been there. We’ve all had that moment of weakness after a nice meal and then came the server with these tempting desserts to really push you over the edge.
That’s what happened to me when my wife and I were invited to the dining event at a Mitchell’s Fishmarket before opening day of their new location in Winter Park, FL. We were happy to attend, especially since all the food was free. Driving up and then walking in we were treated like we were really worth something,…boy if they only knew … LOL. We ordered some really great dishes. She had the Salmon and I had Alaskan King Crab. Both were great and had some nice steamed vege’s on the side. So now I’m thinking we didn’t do too bad as far as calorie counts, then came the hook.
Our dessert choices were explained and these to were….yep….FREE. Jeepers, who can pass up that? So in for a penny, in for a pound…literally! I think it was called “Sharkfin Pie”. Oreo cookie crust, butter fudge ice cream, honey roasted peanuts, fudge and peanut butter. Like I said “Oh My Gosh”! The calories in this had to have been in the red zone. I know that there must have been a paramedic waiting in the kitchen for me to collapse from either dessert overload or cardiac arrest.
So here’s my point of all this. Yep, I had a moment of weakness. But I’m not beating myself up over it. I did it, I was satisfied and I’ll move on towards a more successful day tomorrow, which I had by the way, especially with all the guilt…LOL. Seriously though, it’s okay to splurge occasionally. Get it out or in, and get over it. But I have one word of advice to all of you who go to this restaurant and try this dessert, SHARE. Please visit my earlier post on “Healthy Eating Habits” too. I know I need to.
And please have fun sharing this post too by clicking the SHARE button below and maybe giving it a little “Tweet” up top. Enjoy! Yum!
