Snow No Diet Days

Outside of the Super Bowl it appears to me that snow days, when you are stuck in your house for multiple days, are the worse days for your diet. Based on what my friends are posting on Facebook I would say that mac n’ cheese, chili, coco and brownies are the top items people feel a need to make when stuck in their house.
Now I agree that melted cheese in any form, whether in a grilled cheese or on top of a mug of hot chili is the best consolation for being home bound, but really too many days home with your loved ones should not be seen as a punishment. One of Carter’s friends, who shall remain nameless, said that her family was getting along by staying in their own sections of the house. That is certainly a better plan than trying to create peace with warm melted chocolate.
One friend posted that when her husband heard the storm was coming went to the store and bought frozen Sara Lee coffee cakes in multiples. So much for New Years resolutions. Of course the snow is the perfect excuse to break your diet. The lettuce in your house is getting old and who is comforted by an old orange when you come in from shoveling the snow?
I am not doing any better. I made myself some tuna salad for lunch and then put it on a slice of bread with some cheese on top and put it in the toaster oven. I can’t remember the last time I had a toasted sandwich, but apparently the snow drove me to it.  
I think I need to have lunch with my friends so that I get back into the salad swing. I also have to stop looking at what people are posting on Facebook. Even the images of Mac and cheese are making my mouth water. Thank goodness I feel the need to reserve what little milk I have for breakfast so I won’t be tempted to make a big casserole of homemade pasta gratin. I better not look in the pantry because I’m sure I have some evaporated milk and really, that makes the best mac ‘n cheese.
