"Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story. And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from." A.M. Homes

Slip-ups happen
Since the kids started back to school, we have really been focusing on getting the sugar out of the house and cleaning up from a summer of popsicles, ice cream, hamburgers on the grill, etc.
Things were going well. A word of caution to everyone out there reading this and trying to eat cleaner and healthier, when you are awakened from a deep sleep (or not so deep in my case) at 12:30 in the morning and are hungry, it is best not to go online and read all the food blogs you subscribe too.
Want to know what happens?
You make a 1/4 of a macaroon recipe at 1:30 in the morning - eat two, drink a glass of milk and then go back to bed. Wishing you hadn't had that coconut leftover in your pantry from the healthy granola bars you made a few weeks ago. Nonetheless - here is the recipe. I plan on making the entire batch this weekend - they were amazing!
Damn it.
See it happens to all of us.
Today, much better.
P.S. Happy anniversary Dave -- 14 years. Today is your one year warning. One year to start saving for the 15th wedding anniversary and my 40th birthday - yikes for you!
