France in your (tight) pants

Yesterday, as I was reading my friend Vicky's blog, I couldn't stop myself from chuckling. In an effort to motivate herself into going to the gym despite being down and out with a cold, the lovely Vicky compiled a list of all the food she had indulged in over the holiday weekend. And the list wasn't short. Why was I laughing, you ask? Well, it was probably an embarrassed laughter as I realized that my list was just-as-bad-if-not-worse, but somehow she made me feel a lot better by posting that list. (So thanks Vicky.) I guess it's because maybe misery really does love company... How cruel. Well eat your heart out all you food lovers that are feeling guilty out there, because here's my (much more gross sounding) list:


1.5 small cheese sandwiches (that cheese was buttered into that sandwich - that's the style here...and the .5 is because on the second one I didn't eat the bread, just the buttered cheese)

2 mini sized Bounty bars

1 chocolate crepe

1 nutella/chantilly creme crepe

5 escargots (very buttery)

A bit of chicken liver salad

Cheese fondue (bread for dipping, not a single veggie)


2 full-fat yogurts

1 banana

probably 7 or 8 croissants (not just croissants, they were called butter croissants)
1 chocolate croissant

2 large hot chocolates (a bunch of herbal tea too, but that doesn't count against me really, does it?)

probably 4 pastries from the pastry shops


1 large chocolate nutty confection from a chocolaterie (about the size of a cd)

1/2 of a chocolate mushroom from a chocolaterie (but I bought 8 more "for later")

1 candied kumquat

1 candied cherry

a bite of a candied orange (see below - waaaay better than the other cadied things)

1 crème brulée

1 pear crumble

1 shrimp and pickled beet salad

1 seared fish fillet with rice and some potatoes

1 bowl of french onion soup

1 green salad with no dressing

1 omelet with cheese and a side of french fries

a few bites of Mr X's steak

1 glass of banana and grapefruit soda (Mr X bought banana, I bought grapefruit & we decided mixing them would be brilliant)

1 chicken & cheese sandwich


some grapes

1 sesame peanut honey bar

1 french dip sandwich


How does that sound? Do you feel sick yet? Rest assured that it is very likely that I missed a few things...

Forget the chuckles, I was outright laughing. I don't think Vicki's list could compare. I wouldn't survive over there. I wouldn't fit in those airplane seats let alone my pants! Just keep walking. One or the other should come off! Hee-hee!

In my defense, that was over a 5 day period. I know it's still pretty awful though. Glad you got a laugh out of it.
