…of why I’ll likely never be a really skinny girl…
While some would speculate it is because I’m a pastry chef. And while I theoretically could eat rich, sugary, diabetes inducing desserts every day, I most certainly do not. I don’t even like having things like jelly or jam, ever, because I find them to be too sweet. Not that I don’t have a sweet tooth–I totally do–but it’s rather picky.
But really, my ultimate undoing is that I LOVE PASTA. ESPECIALLY WITH CREAM/CHEESE SAUCES.
If I could only ever eat one cuisine for the rest of my life, I would surely pick Italian, because I’m stupid-addicted to pasta and cheese.
With that said, for lunch today, I made pasta shells with a Romano, Asiago, and herb sauce, and steamed broccoli.
Yes, I’ll be doing HIIT swimming for about an hour, followed by a non-stop, 15 minute, hands-free-water-tread, later this evening. But there’s still no way I’m burning enough fuel to pay for this pasta debt. *sigh*
DAMN YOU, PASTA! Why do you make me love you?!!?!?!
For the record, I’ve tried whole-wheat pasta. I’ve tried vegetable pasta. I’ve tried egg noodles…and while I am a skilled enough chef to make all of those extremely tasty, it is just not the same. The difference to my palette, is as distinct as the one between a burger made of kobe beef, and a “garden burger”. There is no substituting the real thing.
