It's algebra I think...
(Hypothetically)
If one were to make several dozen chocolate-peanut butter cookies at 2 am,
requiring one to taste the
cookie dough repeatedly,
and sample each
batch for quality control...
and if that tortured individual washed
the sticky sweetness down with 2 cups of milk,
how many crunches would it take to cancel out those calories?
And
could those crunches be done the next day?
Because like I said, this (hypothetical) situation would have occurred at 2 am.
Did I mention that the same week J1 was supposed to have his tux, there was a special outdoor door lunch for the kids one day, another outdoor lunch being hosted by the class of the 6 year-old (requiring food and raffle donations) and a disco?
I need a nap.
Those calories don't count as it was past midnight, no one saw you and well they just don't count.
ReplyDeleteTherefore the answer to your question is no crunches at all :)
No one warns us of the things that we have to go through because of kids once they are past the toddler stage. What's killing me here is that it's SUMMER! We get a small break in summer(After this week's VBS, but even THAT is a break from the school year), but it seems like you are getting no slack.
ReplyDeleteAs for crunches? I crunching on a few extra cookies (save them out) will suffice for this one.
Those crunches - are they the kind you hear when you chomp the cookies? I'd say you'd have to eat at least a dozen baked versions of the cookies to get rid of those calories.
ReplyDeleteCalories consumed between the hours of 2 am and 3 am fall within the International Amnesty of Calorie Count and are thereby counted as null and void during said grace time period.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
You must have forgotten the age-old rule of thumb on calories. That is, that food consumed whilst in the process of making said food does not add calories to one's diet. So you see, since you were making the cookies they did not have any calories in them. Obviously if you would have eaten them after they were packaged up and put out for others then you would have actually consumed some calories. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteBTW, love the new layout of your blog.
ReplyDeleteCalories, what calories? There are none whatsoever in cookies. It's all a cruel hoax - munch away but save one for me!
ReplyDeletesorry... the drool made my calculator malfunction.
ReplyDeletelove the new layout.
The only crunchin I'd be doing is between my teeth. Cut out some of this stress your gonna have a stroke.
ReplyDeleteJust say NO!!!
eat more coookiessss awh lawdy mail be some.
please post recipe now.
Nah, it was all a dream. No need to worry. Go back to sleep now. G'nite. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had something witty to say! Its just that I'm still drooling from the picture and realizing a-HA! I CAN still bake, it just has to be done pre-dawn.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
C~
My verdict is you would need to do just one crunch. That sounds like plenty to me. Then you can truthfully say you have exercised without a bit of guilt.
ReplyDeleteBesides, just think of all those calories you burned measuring and stirring and putting pans in and out of the oven. That is a lot of work!!! :D
Have a great weekend (and please pass the cookies, you have made me very hungry with this post!) :)
